Technorati“[S]ome would consider my position on life and trying to usher in a culture of life … as an extreme position when to me, an extreme position is one that Barack Obama took when he was in the Illinois State Senate, not even supporting a measure that would ban partial birth abortion, not even supporting a measure that would during, after a botched abortion and that baby’s born alive, allowing medical care to cease and allowing that baby to die,” she charged.
“That to me is extreme. That’s so far, far left it’s certainly out of the mainstream of America.”
In regards to her religious faith, which has come under heavy scrutiny since her ties to a Pentecostal church was revealed, Palin stated that her personal faith is “very, very simple.”
“I don’t belong to any church,” she stated. “I do have a strong belief in God, and I believe that I’m a heck of a lot better off putting my life in God’s hands, and saying hey, you know, guide me.”
“That’s about as simple as it gets with my faith” she said, “and I think that there is a lot of mocking of that,” noting afterwards that she hopes people can learn to respect her religious views as she does of those that hold different beliefs from her.
Palin’s Hugh Hewitt interview on Tuesday was a lead up to her highly-anticipated first and only vice presidential debate with Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden Thursday night.
The event - which pits the veteran lawmaker Biden, who has been a U.S. senator for 35 years, against relatively political newcomer Palin - is being hosted by Washington University in St. Louis and will start at 9 p.m. ET. Both candidates are expected to debate topics ranging from domestic to foreign policy.
