If Palin wasn't running for VP, what do you think she'd do about her daughter's pregnancy?

Question

This is a hypothetical question of course.

I wonder if Palin would handle her daughter's pregnancy issue the same if she WASN'T running for V.P. ?

I know she wouldn't have her abort.

But, I'd be curious if she'd make her get married to the father?

Or, if she'd have her keep the baby or give it up for adoption?

My guess is that they probably wouldn't be getting married.

And, they'd try to keep the whole thing as private as possible.

Thoughts?

Answer 1

I doubt that she is making her daughter get married.Her daughter's happiness is also at stake.Hopefully her daughter wants to get married.I don't think she would make her give it up for adoption, she probably would just help her raise it because I think she really likes kids.

Answer 2

Probably have daughter go for an abortion so she doesnt screwup her life with a kid at 17 year old.

Answer 3

What every other mother would do for their daughter,I would venture to say 50% of the young girls getting married today are Pregnant.What is the big deal,  

Answer 4

I don't think Palin is "making" Bristol marry the father. Maybe they truly love each other and would have eventually gotten married anyway?

Sarah Palin just doesn't stike me as the type of person to base her decisions on what people think.

Answer 5

I bet she would be a grandmother...just a hunch

Answer 6

Probably just what she's doing now. The difference being you and I would know nothing about it.

Answer 7

I think it would play out the same....her daughter is 18 she does not need mommy to tell her what to do.

All conservatives are stuborn and can fend for themselves....her daughter is one of us.

Answer 8

I am going to think the same thing she is doing right now... it doesn't seem like she would be the type of person to talk her daughter into having an abortion... maybe adoption but not abortion... Not since she kept her youngest and he has Downs...

Fact: 80% of Downs babies are aborted... :/

Answer 9

The same as she is doing now.  Keeping the baby.

Answer 10

There is nothing in her record to indicate they would do anything other than what they are doing now.  Minus the intensely intrusive publicity, of course.

Answer 11

What makes you think she is making them get married.  Good Grief it is 2008.. parent do not make their children get married anymore.

She is handling it just fine.. besides it is no ones business how she handles it.  It has nothing to do with her being vice president.

i think you would be more concerned with a candidate for president who has a racist past more than a little pregnant girl.  Pregnancy is quite normal you know, racism is not!!!

Answer 12

The Palin's would be handling the situation just as they are now, only the rest of us wouldn't be hearing about it.

Answer 13

          with what I have read about the family  I think they did and would have done the same God Bless them  for not aborting   Because  Oboma has already said  they would not punish their daughter with a baby  

Answer 14

I think marrying her boyfriend is her choice.  I think her options would be the same whether she was running for vp or not.  She had 4 months or so make a decision and there is a chance she could change her mind and give the baby up for adoption.

Apparently her community already knew what was going on.  

Answer 15

There's no need to speculate.  She wasn't a VP candidate a week ago.. what was she doing then?

Answer 16

dont know much about the father, but i suspect they would do the same thing,

Answer 17

She would have NEVER made it public... The daughter would be sent off to have the kid and come back skinny after putting the baby up for adoption and their life would go back to where it was... I'm guessing the excuse would have been that she was on a humanitarian trip somewhere while she was actually giving birth.

Answer 18

Yeah, I don't think if she was NOT running for VP that she would have issued a press release. I mean, what a nightmare for Bristol. A whole new level of, "Gawd, Mom! Did you have to tell the whole world???"

Not sure about the shotgun wedding. Maybe they would have had Bristol stay in the governor's mansion and have a suite set up for her and the baby.

I think Levi Johnston must feel like a deer caught in headlights right about now.

Answer 19

the same as she is doing now

Answer 20

Sarah Palin, a person of true grit, would do the right thing (exactly what she's doing now) even if she were not the VP choice. She would support her daughter and love her through her life's choices.

That's what I did for my daughter who went through similar circumstances.
