As I recall, PP saw a HUGE spike in donations at that time.

As VP (and ultimately, as President), she would impose her extreme views on the public. I see this donation as a way of showing how far her views diverge from the majority.

I give her the benefit of the doubt that she believes abortion is murder. PP provides something like 300,000 abortions yearly, so you're telling her, "in your honor, we're HELPING PP perform abortions." It's just nasty. Let's don't lower ourselves to the level of the Republican mean machine. Donate to PP, yes, but not "in Sarah Palin's honor."
