Why can we talk about Bristol's pregnancy...because IMO Sarah Palin is directly to blame?

Question

She advocates abstinence ONLY education. She is against birth control even for married couples. So I am sure she has beat the idea that birth control is a SIN into the head of little Bristol. The poor girl didn't stand a chance...teenage hormones will always win out.

So that is why some people see this as a valid issue...Sarah Palin dropped the ball. And now is probably forcing her daughter to get married to make it look "right".

Answer 1

You are only allowed to discuss the personal failings of people and how it relates to their public policy stances if they are liberals.

Answer 2

so what she advocates abstinence only. Alaska teaches s*x-ed.  Obama doesn't believe in in legalizing mary jane. but he did smoke pot. i think he is directly do blame for the all the drug problem we have (this is sarcasm) i also think Bill Clinton is to blame for every husband having an affair ( also sacarsm) stop generalizing teenagers and saying we don't have minds of our own. I'm 18 and a virgin. She's 17 she's almost an adult.  

Answer 3

just how old was Obama's mother when SHE was pregnant and unmarried?

or

is it only ok to mention SOME 17 year old relatives of candidates?

Answer 4

So very many mothers have "dropped the ball".  I don't agree with you.  Teenagers are going to do what ever they want no matter what their parents say.

Answer 5

That, my friend, was nothing more than a statement with a question mark.

Anyone eve heard of the Golden Rule?  Or, people who live in glass houses...or there by the grace of God...??

If so, maybe we all should just SHUT UP about this.  Obama, himself, has asked that his supporters do this.  He seems to be rational about this.  People on this forum are acting like rabid dogs.

Answer 6

Another liberal lie machine!

Answer 7

Let's not foget that we wouldn't even be talking about her unwed pregnant teenage daughter if Sarah Palin hadn't told the media.

Sarah Palin is also against abortion even if the mother was raped. She would force the mother to carry a rapists baby to full term, that's just sick.

Answer 8

So since Obama okays abortion at what age will we see them walking into a clinic?

Answer 9

The issue is not only the pregnancy but also the complete lack of AIDS awareness.

Answer 10

Sarah hasn't been home enough.

She should NOT move to Washington, DC.

This is our choice.  She is a public servant.

No longer needed and should not be in the public eye.

Go home, Sarah.  Your family needs you.

Answer 11

Show me a link where she states all this.

Answer 12

I agree and now she is paying the price. Do you think she actually thought no one would be talking about this?

Answer 13

Hmmm, it seems biologically impossible that she's DIRECTLY to blame. Unless she performed some kind of IVF procedure.

That sounds a little unseemly doesn't it?

Yes, it does, the whole topic is. Political mileage out of cancer or teen pregnancy or religion...they just don't matter, and add nothing of value.

The more it spreads, the less inclined I am to believe you really care about what's going on.

Answer 14

Governor Palin's daughter and her boyfriend made the choice to have s*x.  Governor Palin didn't make her do it.

I don't believe she's forcing her daughter to get married.  Of course if she's not, you'd criticize that also.

Young Ms Palin is very fortunate to have her family supporting her in the manner they have.  My parents would not have been so supportive.  They would have told me that I made a choice to do what I did, and that I also chose to accept the consequences and responsibilities of those choices.  They then would have told me I was on my own and would not be welcomed back until I could support my child and its mother.

By the way...abstinence IS 100% effective in preventing pregnancies.

Answer 15

She certainly did drop the ball. She'll be gone soon.  

Answer 16

Because NOBAMA has FORBIDDEN YOU!!  And you know, if you do something AGAINST NOBAMA, he will chase you down with his attorneys and SUE!!

Answer 17

You have made the PERFECT POINT here.  She is to blame, although I would argue with the word "directly", but clearly she should have known better, considering that she was a knocked up bride herself.

My 2 daughters were raised with the knowledge of life and thus were never in this situation.  Marriage on the part of her daughter now, after the fact, doesn't change the facts.  She goes back to work 3 days after giving birth (maybe) and we wonder about her mothering - big stretch!

Answer 18

And you know this because.... you are a personal friend of the Palin's and have sat with them at the dinner table and discussed these items?  No? Oh, you are regurgitating information that liberal media has surmised without complete verification and are making it up as they go.... I thought so.

Answer 19

Practice what you preach is my motto.Don't throw stone if you live in Glass house!Dig on ditch you better dig 2 because the trap you set just might be for you!

Obama/Biden 2008!

Ebony & Ivory Presidency!

Obamas life is an open book accused of guilt by association and Obama still refuses to play the "Dirty" Game True to his word!

Answer 20

Gov Sarah Palin had no choice to confirm that her daughter  is FIVE MONTHS pregnant.

CNN announced that a "blog" that surface the internet that read Gov. Palin's four months bady wasn't hers but her little Bristol.  McCain office recieves sooooooooo many calls so Gov. Palin result to drop the BOMBSHELL!!

McCain knew about this when he annouce her as his VP.  McCain spoke at Washington, PA this past Saturday without mentioning the BOMBSHELL.  He announced Gov. Palin with impressing details about her and her children.  Guess what,  little Bristol wasn't even on stage but inside the train with the little baby.  Now we know why?

What other Bombshells are Hidden in McCain's camp?  Remember that McCain's camp is taking RISKS by selecting Gov. Palin...My eyebrows are RAISE.

Answer 21

Is Sarah Palin (the 4-month old child) Trigg's mother or grandmother?

Answer 22

Actually Palin supports birth control. You need to investigate your information a little closer before making accusations. As far as her daughter goes, 17 year olds have babies all the time. I am just proud to hear that Bristol will be supported and not ostracized.

Answer 23

I've researched Mrs. Palin's positions and she is very seriously Pro-Life in every aspect, including contraception, s*x ed in schools, Roe vs. Wade and installing more funded programs for young women having children.

For the stance of abstinence only in schools, well that has shown itself to be a useless waste of large amounts of money long before this news of Mrs. Palin's daughter came out.

Teens are run away hormone machines and sometimes no matter what is drilled in their minds, things happen.

Honestly, I agree that Mrs. Palin did drop the ball by ever accepting the position of McCain's VP.

Her daughter's health needs to be kept up, not running all around the country with her mother. She has a infant son, two other young daughters and a husband.  I think her family needs her far more than Senator McCain does....

This speaks to me of decision making processes all across the board.....from Senator McCain's to Mrs. Palin's.  

Answer 24

Since democrats are spamming this section with cheap shots on Palin's daughter, I am now going to use their questions to rack up points. Even sadder, the same people are asking the same questions over and over again. The questions they are asking have already been answered repeatedly.

2 POINTS, THANK YOU

Answer 25

No its cool...Obama himself says only a sleezy lowlife would talk about such things.....and I've had one person all ready tell me they won't vote for Obama now cause a Obamabot wnet too far and pissed them off... so knock yourself out.

People with kids who s***w up vote to...

food for thought.

Answer 26

Dude you know nothing about her daughter or her relationship with her daughter. your an idiot shut up

Answer 27

Don't you think that Bristol did this (1) to get her mother's attention and (2) because she wanted out of the house so badly she would've done anything?  Getting pregnant is a great way to say that your fundamentalist right wing mother is full of it.  

I think Sarah Palin sucks--but if Bristol is unhappy I'm really sorry.  How do you have that as a mother and NOT want to be outta there?

I did love the comment about Palin possibly having to make decisions in case of national crisis:  "The last time someone woke her up at 3 AM it was because a moose had gotten in someone's trash".

Answer 28

s*x education would not help.  Bristol knew s*x caused babies.  She didn't need a course in school.

Answer 29

see, she taught her daughter to do the right thing. How do you know this baby won't be something special?

Also, she and her husband meet and feel in love at the same age. How do YOU know this is not the same situation.

I find it very funny when democrats judge people for having a baby.

Answer 30

Just b/c those are Sarah's views doesnt mean her daughter feels the same. I'm sure you were a virgin on your wedding day too right? Yeah I bet not get off your high horse
