The REAL Christians in these threads are walking in forgiveness and compassion...
and are happy that Bristol did not abort the CHILD...
The rest are have a feeding frenzy...
A REAL Christian is one who has accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. It has nothing to do with personal opinions.
I for one need to show more of each.

Dr. James C. Dobson of Focus on the Family issued the following statement:
"In the 32-year history of Focus on the Family, we have offered prayer, counseling and resource assistance to tens of thousands of parents and children in the same situation the Palins are now facing. We have always encouraged the parents to love and support their children and always advised the girls to see their pregnancies through, even though there will of course be challenges along the way. That is what the Palins are doing, and they should be commended once again for not just talking about their pro-life and pro-family values, but living them out even in the midst of trying circumstances.
"Being a Christian does not mean you're perfect. Nor does it mean your children are perfect. But it does mean there is forgiveness and restoration when we confess our imperfections to the Lord. I've been the beneficiary of that forgiveness and restoration in my own life countless times, as I'm sure the Palins have.
"The media are already trying to spin this as evidence Gov. Palin is a 'hypocrite,' but all it really means is that she and her family are human. They are in my prayers and those of millions of Americans."
Some people say it is OK for an unwed teen to have a baby and some people say it is not OK.
The fact it happened to the daughter of a person running for VP on the Republican ticket seems to be the issue for everyone. It’s not unlike Dick Cheney having a lesbian daughter.
