EXACTLY - I consider myself 'pro-choice', but that does NOT make me 'pro-abortion'. I do not believe abortion is birth-control or should be used as such. Like you, I don't know that I would ever choose to have an abortion, but I don't like the idea of big government gettin' all up in my koolade, if you see what I mean.
Another thing that bothers me about Palin is this: http://www.grizzlybay.org/SarahPalinInfoPage.htm and, I really found her 'we'll demolish that glass ceiling' (paraphrasing) speech to be a bit 'pander-y' (if that's a word).
ETA: I'm not too keen on the fact that the website is painting Alaskans in broad strokes (ie: "Like many Alaskans, Palin believes that bears – and all Alaskan wildlife, exist for the sole purpose of serving humans" - surely not?!), but some of the things there make me pause - especially points 4, 6, 7, and 10.
