Both of these statements are so true. I just find it to be comically ironic that a Vice Presidential candidate that was chosen, at least in part, to please the conservatives who were dead set against a pro-choice candidate like Joe Lieberman and who supported backed abstinence-only education during her 2006 gubernatorial race has a pregnant and as yet unwed teenage daughter.
