She slashed funding for teen mothers in need - is she ready to support the women of our country?

After the legislature passed a spending bill in April, Palin went through the measure reducing and eliminating funds for programs she opposed.

Covenant House is a mix of programs and shelters for troubled youths, including Passage House, which is a transitional home for teenage mothers.
