Lots of things are erroneously deemed “hypocrisy” these days, but Bristol Palin blathering on about how much better kids do with a mother AND a father is a giant glowing neon example. Hypocrisy at its worst.

She didn’t marry her son’s father or give him up at birth to be adopted by a married couple.

Now that it’s too late for her to do either of things, she should at least be quiet.

You are making me a little sick. Bristol is the perfect speaker for why it is better to have a mother/father parent pair to raise children. She knows via real life.

I am growing in admiration for this young women. She made a bad life choice and a bad choice in a mate, but she has made lemon-aide as best she can from the sour fruit.

Good for her! I hope she continues to speak out and will run for office someday.

You make a good point which I had not thought about. Thanks for the insight.

I have felt that it was good for her to encourage girls to avoid getting pregnant without marriage, and avoid the involvement with boys which lead to that. But you make a good point, that she neither married that guy, nor gave up the baby for adoption. In that sense, you’re right, she chose to be a single mother, with all of the problems that entails.

To paraphrase a movie I saw about teen pregnancy, out of a garbage dump of a situation of teen pregnancy, adoption gives the adopting family a blessing. Unfortunately, our culture is so accepting of single motherhood, that too few consider the adoption option.
