Sure...Back then the couple was pretty much forced to get married...They weren't in love...They often ended up in divorce...They had animosity against the kid...
In a year or two, this Palin girl will meet and fall in love with some guy and will get married...The kid will be fine...
If you guys are so worried about the kids, why don't you concentrate on the kids in orphanages and foster homes, the ones who have nobody...Quit trying to steal someone else's kids...
And if she doesn’t “meet someone...?”
The divorce rate in 1960 was also tiny compared to what it is today—people generally behaved sexually in a more moral way back then, hard as that may be to wrap our minds around today.
I can both be concerned about foster children AND point out that the way most of them get there is by precisely the sort of thoughtlessness, self-absorbtion and indifference to the importance of marriage by their parents which Bristol has demonstrated to date.
But thanks for your concern about my resources, even if it did just look like an attempt to avoid the issue being discussed.
I hate to argue but having been around in the 60s, women simply got pregnant less before marriage because many did nnot screw around outside marriage.
The pill which was supposed to alleviate that did quite the opposite.
for freeper to sop lightly dismiss current illegitimacy as no big deal is astounding and very misplaced.
illegitimacy has killed the black community and is working it’s same magic on poorer whites as we speak.
