On the Home Front With Palin’s Policies [UPDATED x 2]

From a ques­tion­naire Sarah Palin answered in 2006 during her run for governor:

3. Will you sup­port fund­ing for abstinence-until-marriage edu­ca­tion instead of for explicit sex-​education pro­grams, school-​based clin­ics, and the dis­tri­b­u­tion of con­tra­cep­tives in schools?

SP: Yes, the explicit sex-​ed pro­grams will not find my support.

Whoops.

UPDATE [9/2]: To be fair, there’s also this, from a Politico story out today:

At one point, Palin sup­ported manda­tory edu­ca­tion for teenagers about contraception…

UPDATE [9/3]: On the other other hand, there’s this, from the Wash­ing­ton Post yesterday:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Repub­li­can vice-​presidential nom­i­nee who revealed Monday that her 17-year-old daugh­ter is preg­nant, ear­lier this year used her line-​item veto to slash fund­ing for a state pro­gram ben­e­fit­ing teen moth­ers in need of a place to live.
