Addressing the largest U.S. Right to Life banquet, Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin spoke of the miracle of life and urged the audience to speak out on pro-life issues.
On Thursday evening at the Vanderburgh County Right to Life banquet in Indiana, Palin thanked the estimated crowd of 3,000 for their generosity and contributions to the pro-life movement before telling them the story of her youngest son, Trig, who was born nearly one year ago.
When Palin, a strong pro-life advocate, was 13 weeks pregnant, she found out Trig would be born with Down syndrome. “It was a serious time of testing,” she explained. “A time when I had to ask myself, ‘am I just going to talk the talk, or walk the walk?'”
She was nervous about how everything would work out. Palin, 44, was a busy governor with four active children and was concerned that she could not give the baby what he would need.
