Palin rallies abortion opponents

WEST ALLIS, Wis. — Less than two weeks before the release of her memoir "Going Rogue," former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was on message during a speech to anti-abortion activists at State Fair Park.

"Let's simplify: We're pro children," Palin told thousands of people who attended a $30-a-ticket fundraiser Friday for the Wisconsin Right to Life Education Fund.

In a personal and passionate speech, Palin lauded the state's anti-abortion movement for legislative advances achieved over time.

"We were told to sit down and shut up," Palin said. "Wisconsin, you went rogue."

Palin spoke of her youngest son, Trig, who has Down syndrome.

"My family life is much richer thanks to this beautiful baby boy Trig," Palin said. "He is awesome."

Palin remains a force in national politics even after her abrupt resignation as Alaska's governor. Her political plans — including the possibility of a presidential run in 2012 — remain unclear.

On Friday night, she used President Barack Obama's mantra of change to make her political points.

"Let's talk about change we can believe in," Palin said. "Friends, a majority of Americans identify as pro life, and thank God for that." By MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
