AP: Cindy Disagrees With Palin On Abortion

From the Associated Press:

Cindy McCain parts with Palin on abortion, sex ed

Thu Sep 4

ST. PAUL, Minn. – The wife of Republican presidential nominee John McCain doesn’t agree with vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s opposition to abortion in cases of rape and incest.

Cindy McCain also parts ways with her husband’s running mate on sex education.

Palin opposes abortion and rejects the view that pregnancies caused by rape and incest should be exceptions.

Cindy McCain tells ABC’s “Good Morning America” that “I don’t agree with that aspect, but I do respect her for her views.”

Palin has opposed funding sex-education programs in Alaska.

Cindy McCain tells ABC that she advocated abstinence as a part of sex education at her children’s school. “I believe that it’s twofold and I think all of it should be taught.”

Sheesh.

Of course the article doesn’t really quite match the headline.

But this is exactly the kind of headline the AP wants the great unwashed to read. Since they know that most won’t bother to delve into the pesky details.

Not that we should blame the media. After all, that is their job — to divide Republicans and elect Democrats.

But why help them?
