You think it’s a GOOD thing that underage kids are having children outside of wedlock?
First, weclome to FR.
Now, to answer your question:
Giving birth to, and raising a baby is the preferred alternative to murdering the child in the uterus.
I don’t think anyone is saying it’s a good thing. Were you ever young? Did you ever give in to some temptation? I know I did and I regret some things I did but life goes on and hopefully we learn from our mistakes. It’s the path to maturity. We can’t live our children’s lives for them. We teach them right from wrong and pray for them. And we are there for them when they fail. and they will fail. We all fail. Families are to support and love each other. Our church supports a lot pregnancy center for unwed mothers. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
Hey newbie, I don't think anyone here thinks it's a "good thing" for unmarried teenagers to have babies, but it happens in the best of families. Nevertheless, this is a PRO-LIFE forum and very few of us consider abortion to even be an option.
Bristol Palin and her family are PROVING pro-life principles as we speak, they are not hiding from them, they are demonstrating a level of class and grace that we should all aspire to.
I suppose she could have just slaughtered the baby before anyone new. That would have been the liberal way.
Thank God for conservatism, another child shall see the light of day.
Bristol Palin is not underage. In her homestate of Alaska, the age of consent is 16. Bristol is 17.
Underage kids having children out of wedlock is not a good thing. However, abortion is EVIL. I don't believe the Palin’s should openly celebrate this because that sets a bad precedent IMHO. But, they should certainly be joyous that their daughter is doing the right thing now, despite her lack of good judgement by having premarital sex.
