What do you think of Sarah Palin's stance on abstinence only education, given her daughter's pregnancy?

Question

Do you think she will change her opinon?

Answer 1

unrealistic.

Answer 2

smear smear smear away at her family, angry liberals!  We understand what you're like now!

Answer 3

I hope so, I think she's on the wrong side of this.

Answer 4

I think while parents want abstinence, teens will do what they want. Bristol is no different from many other teens in the U.S. s*x ed in school can only do so much. Then it's up to the kids. I think this is a very unfair question.

Answer 5

ALOHA....YOU DEMOCRATS  MAKE ME EVEN MORE PROUD OF SARAH PALIN... AT LEAST SARAH PALIN DOES NOT ABORT=MURDER HER CHILD....BUT YOU DEMOCRAT LIVE TO KILL YOUR CHILD AS A WAY OF "BIRTH CONTROL"!!!...YOU DEMOCRATS EVERY TIME YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH YOU MAKE A FOOL OUT OF YOUR SELF IT NEVER FELLS!

Answer 6

I feel like I am in a valley hereing the same echo over and over again.  Hey down there watch who you are calling trailer trash, I'll drop a coconut on your head.

Answer 7

No I don't think she'll change her opinion.  Part of her appeal to McCain is her staunch conservative, pro-life views.  If she changed her mind about that she'd be a laughing stock.  

There are many things she stands for I don't agree with but I have to say that we don't know her real family dynamics.  You can preach and plead with your children to do the right thing,..don't drink, don't drive fast, don't do drugs, don't have s*x...then they get out on their own and do exactly what they choose to do.  All we can do as parents is teach them and hope that they make good decisions.  So I don't fault Mrs. Palin for what her daughter did.  Nor do I think it has any merit in her being chosen as McCain's running mate.  I will not vote for them because they do not have the same political opinions as I do.

Answer 8

lmao, where does it even say this is her "stance", another ASSumption by the liberals

Answer 9

do you think obama will finally convert? why has he never converted and still claims that he is a christian and not a muslim, even though it is quite clear to anyone that barack hussein obama cannot have been born a christian, and in ISLAM you are born a muslim if your father was one.

Answer 10

A fairly stupid one! However, it does not make her, trash, a hillbilly or any of the other things I expect to pop up here.

It just makes her very ill informed about a common sense issue.  A condom and some spermicide works wonders. Praying a teenager with raging hormones won't have s*x is childish. Abstinence is 100% effective however, its not 100% followed thus the need to educate the 98% that don't practice it.

Answer 11

i like sarah - and if i vote for mccain, it will be a vote for sarah and not really for mccain

but i do disagree with her on this and a couple of other things.

Answer 12

I think she will flip flop and say that its ok to flip and flop into bed with your boyfriend even if your a 17 year old teenager

Answer 13

Wow your a piece of t**d.  Leave her child alone.

Answer 14

She lives in fantasy world, not real world. Abstinence is not practice by younger generation this is reality. How is 18yr old going to pay for medical bills for the baby. The taxpayers wiil pay.

Answer 15

Well I think abstinence education is good but I think you need to explain about condoms and their purpose and effectiveness rates also.

I dont think you should hand them out at school or anything but it should be explained.

Obviously if Palin's daughter had followed what she was taught she woudlnt be pregnant.  But alot of kids dont listen.  Just as alot of kids wont listen about condoms and stuff either.  But you just have to do the best you can.

Answer 16

just like a GOP

says one thing, and does another

Answer 17

works like a charm..................NOT

Answer 18

No - her daughter isn't perfect nor is anyone else.  Abstinence is the only 100% sure way to prevent pregnancy and STDS.

Answer 19

Key word here is her daughter is pregnant not her. Just because her daughter did it doesn't mean she has to agree with it.  

Answer 20

No she won't change her opinion. Teaching abstinence is a good thing. She just thinks parents should have the responsibility to teach their own children about s*x. Her daughter made her own decision to keep the child, and had already planned to marry Levi. Sarah is a normal mother, who does whatever she can to teach her children what she believes in. However, those little rascals grow up and do their own thing. It happens every day.

Answer 21

I think Sarah Palin better change her position.  I'm assuming she is proud of the morality her family displays.  If abstinence-only education can't keep her daughter from getting pregnant, what expectations can she have for the many American families that don't hold onto moral standards as tightly?  It seems very foolish to me.

Answer 22

WHY...BECAUSE HER DAUGHTERS SUDDENLY DEVELOPED A HEARING IMPAIRMENT?

Answer 23

She is a liar and nothing better then a low class hillbilly and will lead the country to a war. She scares me and she scares alot of people.

Answer 24

Sarah Palin has a policy on something?  I thought her platform consisted of solely:  "Don't vote for that bad, bad black man!"

Answer 25

just proves that she's ignorant trailer trash like her supporters
