“Sarah Palin was greeted by a standing ovation and a welcoming crowd. She joked about the criticism by the press to her propensity for writing notes on the palm of her hand. She mentioned that it was a lower cost version of a teleprompter, which elicited a roar of laughter from the crowd. Tonight she had a money sign written on her palm, but before discussing her motivation for the note, she spoke with empathy and honesty about her feelings, when she was confronted with an unexpected pregnancy and realized that she would not only have a fifth child later in life, but one who would need special care. She, like the Spielman’s, admitted to an understanding that all life was sacred and each child, as well as the elderly, deserved the right to life. She warned everyone to be watchful of those in power who do not hold the view of the sanctity of life, and recounted the blessings that her son Trig has brought to her family.
The money sign on the palm of Palin’s hand was a reminder that she did not want to forget to challenge the audience to dig deep in their pockets to support the Ohio Right to Life. Not only was she determined to encourage supporters, she decided to lead by example. After a last minute call home today to make sure her family was in agreement, she stunned the Ohio Right to Life, and the audience, by explaining that she was returning her speaking fee to the cause of the voiceless unborn children. Although the amount of the fee is undisclosed, it is estimated to be $100,000.
Enjoy Sarah Palin’s sense of humor as she discusses the press and their criticism of her.”
