Palin is pro-life, pro-contraception, and a prominent member of Feminists for Life. In 2002, while running for lieutenant governor, Palin called herself as "pro-life as any candidate can be." She opposes abortion for rape and incest victims, supporting it only in cases where the mother's life is in danger.
Palin opposes same-sex marriage and supported a non-binding referendum for a constitutional amendment to deny benefits to same-sex couples. [!] Palin has stated that she supported the 1998 constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.
Alone among the candidates in the 2006 gubernatorial election, Palin in a televised debate supported allowing both creationism and evolution in public schools and the next day clarified her position to one of allowing the debate of alternative views. She tried marijuana when it was legal in Alaska, but she does not support re-legalizing it, stating concerns about the message it would send to her children.
Folks, she ain't no Hillary.
