Here’s how one woman describes how her own beliefs, and those of many other American women, were challenged by Sarah Palin’s choice to give birth to her son Trig, who has Down syndrome:

Sarah Palin did something unforgivable. She succeeded at building the dream life — the happy family and high-powered career — that the feminist movement champions. In many ways, I saw her as a reflection... READ MORE
