"Bristol Palin made the decision on her own to keep the baby, McCain aides said."
They both strongly oppose a woman's right to choose yet they both think choice is just fine for their families. Ann Friedman at TAPPED sums it up very well:
In other words: My family and my daughter deserve a choice, but no other woman can be trusted with this decision. This fits nicely with the narrative on both Palin's decision to carry her Down's syndrome child to term and her daughter's decision to carry her own pregnancy to term. Their decisions are seen by the antichoice Republican base as affirmation that Palin shares their values. But the underlying message that each woman had a choice is a validation of pro-choice values.
