WASHINGTON, D.C.—Sarah Palin brought down the house at the Conservative Political Action Conference with phrasing halfway between Barack Obama and Dr. Seuss.

"See the Tea Party rose up because America woke up," Palin said before the conservative confab.

"We aren’t red Americans, we aren’t blue Americans, we are red, white, and blue — and President Obama we are through with you," she added to a standing ovation.

“The personal is political” is an old feminist slogan, but it has never been more intensely true than it is now on the pro-life American right, whose icons draw their status in part from the fact that they’ve chosen to have and raise disabled children.

Trig Palin and Bella Santorum, both born with genetic disorders that routinely lead to abortions, have become central to their parents’ political identities. Critics quietly deride the children’s high profiles as a matter of political opportunism; but to their parents’ supporters, it’s the ultimate mark of authenticity, an earned source of popularity.

“The reason Santorum and Palin resonate is because their political life is an extension of who they are,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, who heads the anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony List and who also has a daughter with cognitive disabilities.

The children “are symbols of the pro-life movement,” said the president of Personhood USA, Keith Mason. “They’re what it looks like when you care for the dignity of all humans.”

Santorum has made Bella’s condition – Trisomy 18, a disorder with a more severe prognosis than Down’s Syndrome – a central part of his political career, and he discussed his daughter in a campaign ad released in October, in which he talked about his own decision to run for president.

“Karen and I have struggled in trying to discern whether God could possibly want us to do that, particularly in light of the fact that our youngest daughter is a very special girl who needs a lot of care,” Santorum says, as the camera cuts to photos of his baby daughter lying in a hospital bed.

The former Pennsylvania senator is still in the race in spite of the fact that his daughter’s condition deteriorated last weekend, putting her in the hospital and him off the campaign trail for a few days. Returning to the trail after her condition stabilized, he explained to reporters that it was another tough choice but that he had to continue to run to “make sure that we have a country where little Bella is respected and loved.”

Bella, meanwhile, was still recovering, unaware of her status as the driving force behind her father’s presidential run.

But if the celebration of disabled children has become a powerful new symbol for the pro-life movement, it provokes a very different reaction on the pro-choice left. There, the public elevation of disabled children is an implicit judgment.

“It borders on their suggesting that those women who might choose to terminate their pregnancy given a situation like that, somehow those women would have made a less moral choice,” said Kate Michelman, the former president of the abortion rights group now known as NARAL Pro-Choice America. “It somehow suggests that those women who would make that decision don’t care about people with disabilities.”

“I do get uncomfortable when I see the Sarah Palins of the world or the Rick Santorums of the world use their children who have disabilities for political ends,” she said.

This argument played out most visibly, and most strangely, when the writer Andrew Sullivan voiced doubts in 2008 Trig is in fact Sarah Palin’s son. The train of thought he seemed to be following was that Palin had somehow procured a disabled child for purely symbolic, political reasons.

Palin had “deliberately forced an infant with special needs into the bewildering public space” and “used him as the central prop in the construction of a political identity.”

The speculation was enough to get him briefly silenced at The Atlantic and pushed somewhat outside the political mainstream; it also tapped into a real sense among Palin’s enemies of the power of the new images of disabled children.

Palin and Santorum have also faced another line of criticism: That they don’t support government spending on disabled children.

“As an advocate for civil rights for people with disabilities, my deep burning question is not [Santorum’s] relationship to his child, my deep question is what is he going to do,” said Lara Schwarz, an executive for the American Association of People With Disabilities .

“I do absolutely think it’s fair game when someone has expressed a personal commitment to someone with a disability, for them to say what that means for them as a matter of policy,” Schwarz said of Santorum.

Conservatives argue that life comes well before questions of federal spending, though Santorum has tended toward backing a broader government role than some Republicans. Palin’s own involvement with disability advocacy, meanwhile, has been sporadic, at its highest profile in a public condemnation of Rahm Emanuel for his use of the word “retarded.”

The larger impact, though, may be on the pro-life movement, a notable exception to a general sense that social issues should wait for less trying times. During the George W. Bush Administration, even Republicans viewed the movement as a spent, fading force; Bush associated himself with the anti-abortion movement but did little to further its agenda.

The high-profile children, though, have given the movement new energy, and to the anti-abortion movement, their parents’ staying power represents a new-hope. Pro-lifers stymied by years of Republican politicians not taking their cause seriously enough for their satisfaction now have two who put it at the forefront not only of their politics, but of their families.

There is nobody more powerless than a badly disabled baby, but the children have become, Dannenfelser said, the improbable sites of political strength.

“The more people see the power children with disabilities have, the more people see the power
of the movement,” she said.

A protester stands in front of a burning barricade during a demonstration. Cairo, Egypt 1/28/2011

“I was in south Sudan covering the referendum when I found out that there were going to be protests in Egypt. I felt that there could be big troubles, so I returned to Egypt. I arrived at 8am and dropped my bags at home and then went to the office. Later in the afternoon clashes began in Cairo. People were shouting and the police came out on the streets. There were protesters, riot police and also plainclothes police. The plainclothes police started chasing people around: kicking them, beating them. I had to shoot quickly. I saw a lot of plainclothes police standing in a line like soldiers. There were some street battles with civilians. The next day we knew it was going to be a big protest so I took my camera downtown to look for possible trouble. We went to a couple of neighborhoods but people were walking through the small streets heading towards the city center. One moment we witnessed some clashes. Police started to fight and the protesters fought back.”–Goran Tomasevic

Passengers on Cathay Pacific flight CX715 prepare to disembark from a nearly downed airplane after it landed safely. Changi Airport, Singapore 5/16/2011

“We took off smoothly for the short flight from Singapore to Jakarta, and I started falling asleep. Suddenly I was woken by the sound of two bangs, like a bomb or truck tire blowing out. My wife gripped my hand and asked, 'Do you smell something burning?' Yes, there was a sharp smell stinging my nose. I realized there was something wrong because all the stewardesses ran back with the food carts.

The plane started to vibrate, harder and harder. I held my wife’s hand tightly and looked at her face as she started praying. My two younger children were asleep, after their first ever trip abroad, but not Pradipta, the eldest one. 'Pra, look through the window and watch outside,' I said. 'I see light, I see fire, I see fire,' he said. Then the electricity was switched off. I realized the plane, an Airbus A330, had a big problem. I was afraid because I thought we would die. Pradipta looked into my eyes and asked: 'Will we die?' I was afraid and could not answer the question. I looked at all my children’s faces and held my lovely wife’s hands tightly. During my many years of assignments as a Reuters photojournalist, when flying I have imagined being on a plane that had a problem that forced an emergency landing, and then taking pictures. But I never imagined this situation with my family. But it happened. We will die together, so we can fly to heaven together, I thought. If we die together, I will not miss my wife’s delicious cooking. I will not miss the smell of my kids’ sweat. There will be no tears among us. My thoughts, to my surprise, stopped me being afraid any more. 'Will we die?' Pradipta asked again. I looked into his eyes, held his hand tightly and said: 'No, we’re alive, we’re still alive,' then I gave him a high five just as if we were playing basketball. After that, I became calm because I was not afraid to die because we would all die together. I started to adjust my camera, which was hanging around my neck. I set the ISO higher, set the white balance, checked the battery was full and saw I had around 300 clicks for the rest of the memory card. I started to take pictures, though it was dark. I forgot my camera had a full HD video, so I forgot to record the situation. After 20 years living as a photographer, I was thinking as a photographer. I saw a steward sitting in front of me and shouted: 'What happened?' 'The engine is on fire and we are flying back to Singapore,' he replied. My wife put life vests on herself and the kids, though there had been no order to do so, and other passengers followed. I asked Pradipta to look out of the window, and he said he could still see a lot of light and we were over the sea. The plane was vibrating but still flying. I opened all my senses to prepare for everything, and heard the airplane wheels come out. We landed and stopped on the tarmac. I heard the captain say: 'I am Captain Brad, the situation is under control and our engine fire has been extinguished. Please wait in a line and walk to exit through the front door, don’t run. And the ground crew will take care of you. Thank you.'"–Beawiharta Beawiharta

A woman cries while sitting on a road amid the destroyed city of Natori, Miyagi Prefecture in northern Japan. Natori, Japan 3/13/2011

“I headed to the Yuriage district of Natori city in Miyagi prefecture just two days after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami struck northeastern Japan. The tsunami had destroyed buildings and left water everywhere. Smoke still hung over the smoldering ruins. I met Akane Ito amid the rubble as she sat crying on the side of the road, from where she should have been able to see her house. The tsunami had washed away her home together with the memories and her pet, which was family to her. It is not easy to photograph those in tears, but I took the picture as I felt it represented the sorrow the entire region was experiencing. I feel honored if readers were able to feel part of this sorrow. What I want to be able to do is to allow our readers to see what is taking place in the disaster-hit areas. I also sincerely wish for a swift recovery in the disaster-hit areas.”–Asahi Shimbun

Rebels hold a young man at gunpoint who they accuse of being a loyalist to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Brega, Libya 3/3/2011

“We were just passing by an area, not really the front line. We pushed ahead but didn’t see anybody so we came back to a checkpoint, somewhere between Ras Lanuf and Brega. We heard that the rebels had some mercenaries. They ended up in this room and they were talking to us. They didn’t look like mercenaries at all. One moment, they took one of them out and they put him on the ground and they interrogated him. They pointed fingers and a gun at him. I was really confused as I don’t understand the language. They took him away in a car. I don’t believe they killed him, I think they took him to Benghazi. They really didn’t look like mercenaries; just young kids under 20 years old. They were wearing nice shoes and jeans. They looked like immigrants. I guess here they don’t want to say that they are Libyans fighting Libyans. It was a bad moment. This gun was not locked at all. This is one of those situations: do you want to do pictures or do you want to react? I’m a photographer and I don’t want to interfere but at the same time I don’t want this young boy’s head to be blown off. It was really difficult for me to focus on the job.”–Goran Tomasevic

From the Associated Press:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Wednesday she will not run for president, leaving little doubt that the eventual Republican nominee will come from the current field of contenders.

After months of leaving her fans guessing, Palin said in a statement that she and her husband Todd "devote ourselves to God, family and country." She said her decision maintains that order.

Palin sent the statement to supporters. She told conservative radio host Mark Levin that she would not consider a third party candidacy because it would assure President Barack Obama's reelection.
