Sarah Palin's Daughter, Age 17, Is Pregnant: SO WHAT!!!?

Question

I am so annoyed with hearing about this. So what she is pregnant. It is Sarah Palin's business, and people need to bud out. I know people are using it to make her look like a bad peron, but, how does it make her look like a bad person? Teenagers/Young People have s*x around 16, and yes, sometimes you get pregnant. It happens. Plus, her daughter has nothing to do with how she would be in office.

It especially irrates me how they go on "17-year-old unmarried daughter". So what she is unmarried. You don't have to be married. I understand people's concern on her not being married, but either way, a marriage can't hold everything together.

I wish the news would drop it and leave it be. It's no ones buisness.

In your opinion, does hearing of a politcal leader/runner's child being pregnant effect your thoughts on them? Why?

I just can't see how it would.

Answer 1

Why didn't the cable news networks give this much attention to McCain saying at a fundraiser that Chelsea Clinton is ugly? Rush did too. The comment was made in 1998.

Answer 2

It concerns people, because as her mother, people wonder why she wasn't looking out for her daughter more closely and avoiding a) her minor daughter having a child, and b) her minor daughter having a child without being married to a responsible father to help with the child.  Yes, it happens, but no, it is not usually good for a child to have a child, and it certainly makes it more difficult to raise a child by yourself.  A seventeen year old doesn't understand all of the responsibilities, financial and otherwise, that go with having a child, or they wouldn't have one so young.  How can a 17 year old pay for a baby, feed it healthy food, afford doctors, etc.?  This is just the beginning of the list.  So yes, people are concerned.  If she can't keep an eye on her own children, I guess people wonder how she would handle a country.

Answer 3

Just a word of advice?

When you enter the world of politics--Everything is considered fair game.

You see the problem IS, is that Palin calls herself a devout Christian-conservative whom doesn't believe in contraception or women's rights to choose.

So when her kid got pregnant, it basically TORPEDOED Palin's position as a Christian/conservative.

(Because they don't believe in teen pregnancies.)

It illuminates her as a person whom doesn't have a solid belief in the core values of family and morality.

Answer 4

   For advice, contact Bill Clinton.. Barney franks...John Edwards.

Answer 5

YES YES YES

and it should if she is going to stand for a party who is supposed to believe in strong family values and abstinence...the GOP Repulican CONSERVATIVES

Answer 6

Here is the what:  

Palin has advocated "Abstinence only" s*x education which is basically no s*x education.  In should now be painfully obvious to her that is a failed policy that doesn't work.  The real question is will personal experience and a harsh slap from the invisible hand of reality get her to adopt a more realistic approach to s*x education.   A shift of policy that is sorely needed in this country.

Answer 7

This from the party that slams Conservative values down America's throat?  Let me guess, it's okay because the father of the baby is a Conservative fornicator?  You know if this was Obama's daughter, Fixed News would run endless loops of this 24/7.

Answer 8

I think it's pathetic how liberals are using this to their advantage. Did you hear the rumors that Palin's 2 month old baby was actually her 17 year old daughters? I guess those rumors can be dropped now! I heard a girl on TV saying "How could a woman who can't even control her daughter, run the United States." I wanted to jump in the TV and slap her! How ignorant can you be? Barack Hussein Obama has so much more c**p that needs to be looked into, but I NEVER see the media covering it! Or Biden? I haven't heard a word about him and I'm sure he's got some skeletons... Anyway, I think Palin would be a great vice-president, whether she has a new grand-baby or not, and I am definitely voting for the McCain ticket.  

Answer 9

The so what is about the Republican hypocrisy. She advocates no teaching of s*x in schools and is anti-abortion. This demonstrates where her fundamentalist teaching has led her daughter.

Answer 10

It's the irony and hypocrisy of it all, don't you know.

Answer 11

When women have s*x they are supposed to get pregnant.

Palin is the only candidate that supports banning the birth control pill.

It's worth noting that Gov.Palin is a member of "Feminists for Life", an organization with members that openly support outlawing all "non-abortifacient contraception" (anything that stops implantation of the fertilized egg). http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/ff...

Most women do not know that all BC pills kill  babies and here is how.

We may not be able to overturn Roe vs Wade but there is no constitutional right to the birth control pill.

As VP she could break a tie vote in the Senate, and explain this to the men in the Senate.

Since McCain's father did not live to 72 she will probably even be President.

Answer 12

Exactly!  If Palin was a lib we'd be hearing the opposite, so it has nothing to do with be VP.

Answer 13

Honestly, if it was Obama's daughter I wouldn't care either. I really don't know why people are making it out to be a big deal and like its the end for her. Good grief. I don't think her daughter being pregnant makes her look like a bad mother at all. Don't you remember being 17? You're going to do what you want no matter what your parents say, especially when it comes to that. Be realistic people, and try to find a better reason not to like her.

Answer 14

Because Palin is going around preaching "abstinence only" and running on "family values".

Bit hypocritical ain't it?

I know you can't watch your kids 24/7 but perhaps giving them some education and not living in denial about it, the whole situation could of been avoided.
