I totally agree with you that Davis is a piece of work, and I’m glad she’s been exposed.

But anyone who can get into Harvard Law can afford it—even if entirely through loans and she would have got a substantial scholarship without her husband’s income anyway—because of elite earning power upon graduation.

Punishing a teen mother by depriving her of a wished-for education is a sad approach indeed, and I find it unfortunate that you are suggesting as much. What’s best for her son? Surely growing up in an intellectual environment with a demonstrated commitment to education would be better for such a son of a single mom.

Bristol was thrust into the public eye in 2008—and she’s worked hard to keep herself there since.

I just don’t think she’s one who should be passing such judgments on personal life decisions like that.

She is not being punished she is accepting responsibility.

I know this is a rare thing these day when some people are willing ready to push their kids off on someone else so they can "have their dream" but there are a few left with this thing that used to be called character.

Surely growing up in an intellectual environment with a demonstrated commitment to education would be better for such a son of a single mom.

Probably not.

I just don’t think she’s one who should be passing such judgments on personal life decisions like that.

Why not?

Bristol planned to get married, got pregnant, realized that the father of her child was not the person she thought he was and became an adult.

Wendy never has taken responsibility or become an adult. A druggie drunk con woman is worthy of criticism.

As an abstinence spokeswoman and a pro-life spokeswoman, this is pretty much what she was doing for years, as far as I know it still might be here job.

As conservatives, we do want her to continue her good conservative work, she needed to speak out on this.

I don't think that you should be passing judgement on pro-life, conservative activists, especially when they are pointing out the negatives of a pro-abortion activist running for Governor.
