One doesn't have to make specific choices for one's own life to be a feminist... but one sure as hell doesn't get to enact policies that limit women and still call themselves a feminist.
This is the woman that decided rape victims should pay for their own rape kits... ya know, to save money.
Sarah Palin is no more a feminist that those female twits that make a (really good) living telling women to get back in the kitchen.
As to the topic of abortion, I don't think it's mandatory that a person personally be okay with abortion, rather they shouldn't seek to deny other women that choice. Personally, I have pretty specific limits on my comfort with choosing abortion for myself (rape, threat to my life/health, fetal conditions incompatible with life) but I would never dream of forcing other women to live by my personal standards. It's pro-choice not pro-abortion... I choose what's best for me and my family and I have enough faith in other women to respect their ability to do the same.
