If Sara Palin had put her daughter on birth control, instead of teaching abstinence only, would Bristol be ?

Question

pregnant? Do you really want the possibility of someone who cannot even run their own household running the country? Isn't it a parents job to do whatever they possibly can to protect their children? Is telling your 17 year old daughter that if she does not want to get pregnant, not to have s*x, really a good idea? Or would it be smarter to go get her on birth control? Further, do you really want someone being your president that does not have the judgment to pick a better running mate than Sara Palin? Or wait, is John McCain the invincible 70 +year old man?

Answer 1

birth control is not evil, more like safety from messing up your life early how could any sane person be against it?  

Answer 2

Just what kind of a control-freak are you expecting Sarah Palin to be?  Parents' job is to make themselves unnecessary to their children.  At 17, Bristol is at the age where she is going to spread her wings and fly, which means she is going to make her own decisions, and some of those may be bad.  Some of those may be against the things she has been taught at home.  And she will have to be responsible for her decisions.  Even Obama said this has absolutely no relevance in the campaign, so why not drop it and stick to real issues.  Liberals are sounding really desperate when they have to attack a conservative candidate based on the actions of a 17-year old girl.  (It has the same desperate sound that we heard in the late 70s when people jumped on Jimmy Carter because his brother Billy was an idiot.)  Move on.

Answer 3

nope.I was taught how to prevent pregnancy by my mother  when I was a teen and was given condoms and birth control.Im 26 and I have never been pregnant

Answer 4

Yes you would like her to do it the democrat way and kill the baby with a abortion.It shows she is a real American as this happens in many family's.

Answer 5

Whether abstinence or supply-side economics, they both work on faith and a difficult promise. That's why the republican party is a force for idiocy.

Some democrats are not far behind.

Answer 6

No, I don't believe she would be pregnant. I believe that she would have known how to prevent becoming pregnant--and thus would have spared mom's political career.

Answer 7

Abstinence works every time. Birth control does not work every time, and there are diseases such as HIV.

There are 750,000 unplanned teen-age pregnancies every year in the USA. So this is nothing new.

Hillary could not keep Bill under control.

Answer 8

Sara Palin allowed her daughter to make her own mistakes but is there for her to help her while at the same time making her daughter accept responsibility for her actions.  This is what parent hood is all about!  I've seen families put their children on birth control, give them condoms, etc. and all it does is lead to heartbreak, emotional problems, and in time does not prevent unwanted pregnancies or STDs.  There is no such thing as safe s*x except s*x in a monogamous relationship.  I know that is something liberals refuse to believe, but I can take you to the people hurt by your ideologies!

Answer 9

the simple fact is that most unwanted pregnancy's could be avoided by simple s*x education and birth control. this would in fact cut down on abortions.this is something the republicans just dont seem to get.
