Here is the entirety of Focus on the Family Action‘s press statement on the Palin choice:
Colorado Springs, Colorado: Focus on the Family Action founder and chairman James C. Dobson, Ph.D., issued the following statement today after learning that Sen. John McCain, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, had selected Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate.Dr. Dobson will further discuss McCain’s pick tonight at 9 p.m. ET on Fox News Channel’s Hannity & Colmes.
"Sen. McCain’s selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is an outstanding choice that should be extremely reassuring to the conservative base of his party. She is a strong executive who hates corruption and puts principle above politics. After floating the names of Tom Ridge and Sen. Joe Lieberman in recent weeks – selections that would have created consternation among pro-family Republicans – Sen. McCain has chosen a solid conservative who has a reputation for espousing common sense."
"Gov. Palin’s views align with Sen. McCain’s own stated position that human life is precious and must be protected – and that gives us confidence he will keep his pledges to voters regarding the kinds of justices he would nominate to the Supreme Court and the way he would conduct our nation’s domestic and international affairs. This selection by Sen. McCain is a very encouraging sign for his campaign."
Are we to suppose that the President of the United States is to be chosen based solely on the issue of Abortion – a decision of the Supreme Court in 1973? And the arbitor is James C. Dobson, a self styled religious leader with a degree in Psychology? With Dobson, it’s not "the sanctity of marriage" [see Track Palin’s out-of-wedlock conception [birthdate confirmed] and Bristol Palin’s current out-of-wedlock pregnancy]. It’s just Abortion. It was just a matter of time before Dobson found a way to support John McCain after being petulant when his favored Evangelicals didn’t make the cut…
The age of consent in Alaska is 16. Statutory rape also requires that the older of the pair must be at least three years older.
