ST. PAUL -- The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said on Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child.

There is another thread of a Time article that says that Palin is not an abstinence-only preacher. But maybe you have better information.
Yep - just like most traditional families and we seem to get by just fine. While VPOTUS and POTUS are demanding jobs, there actually are jobs even more so. Not that I have one of them though... LOL
How is that sand?
Mandatory preschool and “small class sizes” are another way the unions try to expand their ranks.
Is that a question? If so, your sentence should contain a question mark.
Any intelligent conservative will be concerned about parents' responses to situations beyond their control.
Liberal parents would most likely encourage an abortion in the case of a teen pregnancy.
We know the Palins are pro-life and that Sarah is anti-abortion in cases of rape and incest. That's as pro-life as one can be.
She respects and honors the human being her daughter is carrying. She is giving her daughter support and encouraging her to cary the baby to term.
Your concerns are witless.
You figure it out.
Now there is a fallacious straw-man argument for all to see! I never wrote that Reagan Man or anyone else doesn't "have the right to bring up the good points and concerns". What I did question was to ask him which of my remarks were "over the top, out of line, or dead wrong" since he hadn't even attempted to respond or refute any of them. Those attacking the Palin's on this thread seem to avoiding any real debate on the issues, instead relying only on repeated attack mantras. Their troll-like tactics on this issue topic are becoming increasingly obvious. I am beginning to think that this is less about Bristol's unfortunate pregnancy and more about a bunch of disaffected Ronpaulians, Romneyites, and Obamanics attempting to hurt the McCain campaign.
I’m not sure what to think. For a second there I thought the world was not coming to an end and human beings weren’t killing their children.
It was too good to be true. Liberals not killing their offspring like rats.
You can’t blame me for thinking people would get it. I even read some threads on DU and Daily Kos where people were disputing the gorebull warning nonsense. They’re not all stupid. Just 97% of them.
For those upset regarding this matter, if you have young children, may they never disappoint you. If you have not had a child, may God give you the patience, love, and wisdom to understand that which you have not experience yet. From an older woman blessed with many grandchildren, some already grown. A little pearl of been there done that. We raise our children to live right and pray they will heed our words of wisdom. We build a strong foundation that even though some may waver, eventually they always return back to their roots. No matter how you try to guide them, some has to do it their own way.
God Bless the Palin family for standing behind their daughter. God Bless the Palin family for not pushing their daughter into an abortion.
If anything this has shown me that our future Vice President has a strong character and lives the walk.
Yes, well, my math was wrong. The other poster has been here 11 months longer than him.
I was called a nOOb the other day LOL. Member since 2000.
EVERY argument the left uses for sex education, abortion, homosexuality, etc. has ALWAYS been a straw man.
RE: “Big deal. Millions of kids get pregnant every year. A parent can not control everything a child does when the child is not in their presence.”
Agree. What can you do? Kids will be kids and I know of several right now who are in the same situation, and for the record, they are NOT from poor/immigrant/welfare families or similar, nor are they “celebrities” who think nothing of this scenario. “Good” parents like the Palins cannot prevent things like this from happening. It’s just plain impossible.
What on earth does this have to do with the election? The pregnant girl is not running for office — I’d say the John Edwards affair and baby mess was a lot meatier than this; let’s dredge that one up again!
Excellent point; concur
There are stark foreign and domestic policy differences between the two campaigns that will affect all of our lives, as well as the lives of those around the world. These are the issues that matter most in this election.
The world is already dangerous. It becomes more dangerous if Obama is Commander in Chief of US Armed Forces, as he will make us a soft, weak target through his policy decisions which will in turn be supported and confirmed by a Democrat Congress and the liberal judges he will appoint and they will confirm. We need McCain/Palin to win and the Republicans to hold the Congress to as close to no net loss as possible.
I wasn’t old enough to vote for Reagan. My first vote was cast in 1992.
Would you have cast your vote for Reagan? Aren't you glad enough of us did?
Sarah Palin will make a great VP.
I was talking about James Dobson. Never mentioned McCain.
You need to keep your emotions in check. You sound like a fool.
No, I don’t think they do.
I would be happier if the child was being put up for adoption to two adults in a stable happy marriage.
Oh sure. That’s exactly what her plan was from the very beginning. I guess I should send her a thankyou note.
Nice try.
