I can’t wait to hear how the McCain cam­paign walks this one back:

Couric: Why, in your view, is Roe v. Wade a bad decision?

Sarah Palin: I think it should be a states’ issue not a fed­eral government-​mandated, man­dat­ing yes or no on such an impor­tant issue. I’m, in that sense, a fed­er­al­ist, where I believe that states should have more say in the laws of their lands and indi­vid­ual areas. Now, foun­da­tion­ally, also, though, it’s no secret that I’m pro-​life that I believe in a cul­ture of life is very impor­tant for this coun­try. Per­son­ally that’s what I would like to see, um, fur­ther embraced by America.

Couric: Do you think there’s an inher­ent right to pri­vacy in the Constitution?

Palin: I do. Yeah, I do.

Couric: The cor­ner­stone of Roe v. Wade.

Palin: I do.
