COLUMBUS, Ohio--Sarah Palin says her anti-abortion commitment was tested during her pregnancy with her youngest son, who has Down syndrome, and the unexpected pregnancy of her unmarried teenage daughter.
She told a group of about 3,000 at an Ohio Right to Life Society fundraiser in Columbus on Friday that the experiences gave her empathy for pregnant women in difficult situations.
She says her family learned after the babies were born that challenges can lead to "the greatest blessings."
The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate planned to attend a Cleveland-area fundraiser Saturday for Ohio and Cleveland Right to Life chapters.
