How does Palin expect abstinence only education to work in this country when she can't make it work at home?

Question

She wants to eliminate comprehensive s*x education in schools and replace it with abstinence only education, but her own pregnant 17 year old daughter proves that abstinence only education doesn't work.

Answer 1

As if no girl has ever gotten pregnant even with comprehensive s*x education.

Answer 2

why?  the daughter is 17... legally old enough to marry in most of the world.  They are planning on getting married according to all the news articles... thats taking responsibility, unlike using a kife.

Answer 3

I would just like to say, that I use birth control. I'm a teen, and I'm not having s*x. I use it for bad periods....Please don't jump to conclutions. It's hurtful... you make it sound like I must be having s*x all the time if i'm on birth control, and that simply isn't the case. My sister went on birth control for acne. YAZ does a great job of clearing it up.

Answer 4

An aspirin tablet works just as good if held firmly between the knees, but it's hard to walk that way.

Answer 5

I think she was counting of the purity rings as back up. That failed obviously.  I wonder how much she had to pay the babies daddy to agree to marry her daughter.

Answer 6

lol....I know!!!

Answer 7

Palin's daughter getting pregnant does NOT prove any such thing.  Whether teenagers are given comprehensive s*x ed or abstinence only ed, they have minds of their own and will do what they want.

Answer 8

it proves she stands behind her daughter. and her daughter by not getting a abortion was brought up to respect life.by the way.i got my wife pregnant at 16 and we were married at 18,our daughter is now 24 and getting ready to graduate from penn state with her bachelors! peace!

Answer 9

Any 17yr old can get laid and get pregnant.....atleast she loves the guy and they are getting married.

This is a real normal family facing today's challenges....This is real "change" in politics unlike Biden's 35yr in politics.

Answer 10

The Palin agenda is to cram down our throats "her way of life" and it seems she should stay home and take care of business.

We do not need a n**i so close to the oval office......

This is of the subject...but did you see the person that was singing the Star Spangled banner was wearing a crown,and that all guys in the opening ceremonies looked like "talking suits".....I guess the gal was Miss America , that they had the "token" black to give the invocation.....geez........republicans are so fake.

Answer 11

abstinence is stupid idea. people should be more experienced so they can satisfy their partner better. the education system is just like politics its just for show by the way s*x is healthy it makes people happy and more social.

Answer 12

Education will help.

The decision is still ultimately up to young adults whether or not to "abstain" from s*x. There will still be EDUCATED young adults not abstaining...but not as many as NOT educating them. The same as using drugs...

Educating young people about the dangers of drugs will HELP...but there will still be those abusing them. Fact of life.

Common sense.

You are not actually suggesting that it's smarter to NOT educate our young people, are you??????

Answer 13

No one expects it to work, except for the religiously challenged.

The guy below me totally skirted the question...
