Actually she would tell them to give the baby up for adoption—which I do think would be a great example for young girls in that situation, but I understand that’s got to be a very hard thing to do. I think she’s doing the next best thing—she’s getting married. Hopefully it will all work out.
When the story broke it was already decided by Bristol Palin that she would continue the pregnancy, marry the father and raise the baby. So, the issue of adoption is off of the table for Schlessinger to comment upon. She can give her two cents, but the issue is settled. I doubt the Palin family needs Dr. Laura’s commentary upon their daughter’s life choices.
