’)Wonder what perceived personal slight caused this latest attack from Palin?
Beverly Wooley, who has worked more than 20 years in public health in Alaska, most of it with the municipality of Anchorage, ended her stint as state public health director on Wednesday.
…
The key source of tension was legislation that would have required girls under age 17 to get parental consent for an abortion, Wooley said Thursday. The bill, which Palin actively supported, passed the state House but stalled in the Senate.
…
Wooley said she also intended to answer questions from legislators and said she would rely on data, not anyone’s personal beliefs. Whether she personally agreed with the governor is beside the point, Wooley said.
She intended to refer to studies from states that already had passed similar legislation, she said. Some of the research shows that, with parental involvement requirements, girls tend to get abortions later in their pregnancy, which is riskier and more expensive, she said. Other research shows fewer girls get abortions, which abortion foes like Palin likely would applaud. Wooley cautioned that the studies are small and not definitive because such laws are still fairly new.
As we all know too well, Sarah Palin’s not exactly a fan of facts.
How is Palin going to run for President in 2012 if she isn’t Governor of Alaska? Given that Pawlenty is likely to run, how many active politicians will be “in the running” in 2012? Interesting that all four(Mittens, Chuck Norris’ BFF, Pawlenty, Caribou Barbie) of the likeliest candidates will probably not be in office in 2012.
Palun should have found a more valid reason to fire her, like uncovering corruption at AmeriCorp!
Read a newspaper, Farris. The CNCS board has leaked the legumes. Walpin was a nut.
