I think it depends on how much money you have....I know some Catholics that would exile their pregnant daughters....especially about 50 years ago.

About 50 years ago, you could probably say that about quite a few religions.

You do realize that Catholics run a ton of crisis pregnancy centers these days, don't you?

As for "exiling" the daughter, I would only do that if her actions subsequent to getting pregnant were also out of keeping with our family's values--i.e., aborting the baby, continuing to fool around with the 'daddy' or live 'la vida loca' without any commitments, etc.

As it is with the Palins, it seems that Bristol has done everything right since her mistake and her family is coming together around her and Levi. Which is exactly what they should do.
