I do not believe one can build good arguments on false premises, and anyone who is pro-abortion demonstrates that their premises are false at the most fundamental level possible.<br /><br />As such, the mere fact that I support Gov. Palin makes it clear that I have no doubt whatsoever that her pro-life position is real, sincere, and basic to her political outlook--not a matter of political expediency, but something at the core of who she is and what she believes. And here's the thing: <i>there is absolutely nothing to suggest otherwise</i> (including <a href="http://www.randpaul2010.com/issues/a-g/abortion-2/" rel="nofollow">Rand Paul</a>). For Lisa Graas to question the Gov.'s integrity on this point because of <i>insufficient evidence</i> is a standard piece of disreputable rhetorical trickery. If I wanted, I could use the same approach to argue that Lisa Graas is pro-slavery, or at least that we can't be sure that she isn't. It would be ridiculously unfair, of course, but there's less evidence that she's anti-slavery than that Gov.
