Jon Stewart on Palin’s anti-choice stance

Jon Stewart offered his opinion on the Palin’s statements on her daughter’s pregnancy. It is one of the few times I have heard him make a serious statement without any attempts to make it comical. The relevant part starts around 4:00.

STEWART: They have said, “this is Bristol’s decision and we should honor that.” I have a daughter. The thing that…the reason I think this is fair game is, Sarah Palin is one record as saying she would veto abortions for women even in the event of being raped. So what she is in essence saying, “respect my family’s ability to make this decision, and elect me so that I can keep your family from having the same options.”
