Why is Alaska #1 in Chlamydia infections?
http://www.cdc.gov/std/stats/figures/figure3.htmHas anyone actually seen Governor Palin or the Feminists For Life organization she is a member of (
http://www.feministsforlife.org/) address any of these issues since she has become Governor or Alaska or since she was Mayor of Wasilla?
I can find loads of information about Sarah Palin and her big oil connections but none or barely any information about how she would help protect women.
She's an independent maverick for big oil but not so much for women's health and safety.
