Give it up, Shadowstrike; logic will get you nowhere. After reading through this thread I can only surmise that we are only allowed to criticize young women who've had multiple kids by multiple men out of wedlock when their names are Shaniqua and LaTrina. When their names are Bristol, and we know and love their mothers, we are hateful if we comment. Never mind that the Shaniquas of the world may never have been taught better, are in keeping with their cultural norms and may have even have entered into the world in the very same way themselves; only they should be trashed on this forum when they fall short of God's standards. Free passes for those who grew up knowing better!!

I certainly hope to see Bristol's staunchest supporters here defending Shaniqua and LaTrina on future threads and celebrating their next rounds of out-of-wedlock babies.

Bristol Palin was (maybe still is for all I know) a spokesperson for abstinence. I think this is where she gets mocked since she had two kids out of wedlock and hasn’t married either father. She then became a reality tv personality.

As far as I know (and again I may be wrong), taxpayers aren’t supporting her and her kids. She has a few reality show paychecks and other paychecks for that.

I was raised to believe that a baby is always a blessing and still believe this today. I certainly wouldn’t want my children to have babies as teens or when not married but a baby is always a blessing.

My issue, not really an issue since my kids don’t hold celebrities as role models nor do I, is that she was being held to a standard different than those other celebrities, or people in general depending on their political affiliation.

She’s an adult woman, not a child/teen, who appears on reality tv for all the world to comment.

She was hailed as a spokesperson for abstinence before marriage when she clearly didn’t believe or live it.

But a baby, any baby, is always a blessing.
