You don't get to do that. You can't 'leave me to His judgment'. You have no say in the matter.
The POINT of righteous criticism is to help someone change. It is not to punish them. That is not our job. She already admits her wrong.
Bullshit. This is her statement:
wanted you guys to be the first to know that I am pregnant. ... I know this has been, and will be, a huge disappointment to my family, to my close friends, and to many of you. But please respect Tripp’s and my privacy during this time. I do not want any lectures and I do not want any sympathy. My little family always has, and always will come first. Tripp, this new baby, and I will all be fine, because God is merciful.She does NOT acknowledge that she is wrong. She, instead, tells us she wants no lectures, and that she wants privacy. The closest she comes to even mentioning this MIGHT be wrong is when she says it will be a disappointment to some people.
She's unrepentant.
So we shall rightously criticize her until she *does* want to change.
And someone should righteously criticize you for your self-righteous harshness and cruelty. But I am tired of it.
As for leaving you to His judgment: I have no say, but neither do you. We are ALL left to His judgment. If you don’t believe that then you are only a pretend Christian. When I say “I will leave you to His judgment” it is a passive statement that acknowledges the truth that we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. He is Lord of the Universe and there is no escaping His judgment for anyone. I do not ACTIVELY leave you It just meant I am leaving the discussion but He still rules over both of us. He will judge Bristol, you and me.
See? You get a Greyhound ticket to hell if you don't fawn over Bristol for getting pregnant the second time. Nope.

And if she doesn't, she'll likely end up with a third fatherless child. Well, I'm not going to pretend that the absence of a father in the lives of children is negligible.
Bristol's conduct is actually pretty funny. Having fights with people on Facebook, making a grand announcement of pregnancy, and demanding her privacy.
