"  Sarah Palin&amp;#039;s in the news again today for endorsing three more &amp;quot;mama grizzlies.&amp;quot; I&amp;#039;ve said my piece on this tactic already. But I&amp;#039;ll be interested to see if anyone picks up on another interesting story, from McClatchy&amp;#039;s Alaska Daily News. Alaska&amp;#039;s low-income insurance program, Denali KidCare, funds abortions \u2014 664 of them last year alone. KidCare is, itself, funded by the Alaskan government. So let&amp;#039;s see: That&amp;#039;s government-run medicine paying for the murders of unborn children. A natural target for Palin when she was governor, yes? No. She supported it. She supported expanding it. Well, first she opposed expanding it. Then she flip-flopped. She decided she supported expanding it because it would mean &amp;quot;more working families will have health coverage.&amp;quot; And she did so in the full knowledge of an impending drop in state revenues, as record-high oil prices fell back to earth. That&amp;#039;s sound, small-government principles at work. The KidCare abortion issue is so toxic to Palin&amp;#039;s successor, Sean Parnell, that he recently vetoed another effort to expand it. But, as the muckraking Mudflats noted back in 2008, when Sarah was inexplicably pushing for her own addition to the program, &amp;quot;she has plans for 2012, after all...&amp;quot; She may. In fact, this is one of the first times I can recall seeing Sarah Palin actually acting like a politician \u2014 weighing benefits and costs in a complex ethical and political landscape, and making a practical rather than ideological decision. But Sarah Palin presents herself as the anti-politician \u2014 as precisely the sort of ideological purist for whom pragmatism and compromise are filthy words. So if she does run, she&amp;#039;ll need to explain how she went from baby-killing socialist to life-affirming conservative over the course of four short years.
