Palin has been quoted as saying shes "as pro-life as any candidate can get" and she also supports abstinance only sex education. And she supported a gay marriage ban and denial of health benefits to same-sex couples. She won't get McCain any love from the Femi-Nazis.

I suspect she was chosen because of her experience in the Alaskan Oil and Natural Gas Conservation Comission. She has been one of the biggest supporters of drilling in ANWR.
