One thing that strikes me on this thread is the amazing acceptance of premarital sex. Why is that? Because of the couple who engaged in it, one is the daughter of one of ours?

Lest I seem to approve of premarital sex, allow me to say something. I’m 48 and grew up during the promiscious 70s. I know from experience how devestating premarital sex can be. I’m not approving of Bristol Palin’s behavior, period— under any circumstances. I’m saying that the Palin family has dealt with a crisis situation showing: responsibility, maturity, forgiveness, and love.
It’s more than what I was offered when I messed up my life.
Bristol Pailn has my empathy. I stand by her family who are tackling a situation of immense religious repercussions with personal responsibility asking nobody for anything. That’s class and it deserves respect. They have mine. They also have my VOTE.
Well said navymom1, well said.
