Sarah Palin ventured outside Alaska yesterday and headed to Indiana, where she addressed a crowd of nearly 3,000 pro-life activists.

In an especially candid moment, Palin discussed her decision making when it came to having her son, Trig, who she knew would be born with Down’s syndrome. The governor told the crowd that she knew she could abort the child, but chose to "walk the walk" and support his life.

Palin explained that she was out of Alaska when she found out, and did briefly toy with the idea of terminating the pregnancy: "There, just for a fleeting moment, I thought, I knew, nobody knows me here. Nobody would ever know. I thought, wow, it is easy. It could be easy to think maybe of trying to change the circumstances. No one would know. No one would ever know."

Her conscience and faith, however, won in the end: "It was a time when I had to ask myself, was I gonna walk the walk or I was gonna talk the talk … I had just enough faith to know that trying to change the circumstances wasn’t any answer." And for that we commend you, Gov. Palin.
