You know there used to be a time when Freerepublic actually frowned upon teen pregnancy, but as Freepers continue to abandon their conservative principles to swallow anything the GOP regurgitates, let us go back to a thread a long, long time ago June 29, 2008.
And let’s see what freepers had to say about teen mothers....

But now that a Republican has a pregnant Teenager, we don’t dare question what type of values she’s teaching her kids.
We’ve always been at war with Eastasia.
“But now that a Republican has a pregnant Teenager, we don’t dare question what type of values she’s teaching her kids.”
Perhaps your mother should have taught you better Christian values.
Possibly, your father could have taught you better common sense and logic.
Anybody who believes that a youth will act exactly as they are taught lacks common sense. A person who would make accusations about another person’s values based on such a little glimpse into their life, could be served by opening ub a Bible a little more diligently.
But I do believe your post deserves a response. So here it is:
Teens have one foot in the adult world and one foot in the child's world. They're still developing, and their minds are incapable of grasping the unforgiving nature of hard logic. In other words, they make mistakes. And they act irresponsibly and do irresponsible things -- regardless of how well they may have been raised.
You, however, seem to be unaware of this. You also question the values that this teenage girl was instilled with.
On what evidence do you make this judgment? Are the Palins unlike all other human beings? Should a different standard apply to them?
This has nothing to do with support of teenage pregnancy. You are just like the MSM — assuming that a teenage girl who makes a mistake and actually does the RIGHT thing is to somehow be vilified. You show absolutely NO understanding of Christian values and morals whatsoever.
Peddle your accusations about FReepers abandoning their principles elsewhere. God forbid you ever have your own children, and that they ever make a mistake - the way you make it sound you would rather abandon them instead of helping them deal with the consequences of their actions. You are holding a parent responsible for every single action that a near-adult child is making. Were you never a teenager? Have you NEVER made a mistake in your life?
As God-fearing, Christian parents we try to teach our kids the proper path, but no person is perfect - far from it. At some point out children go out into the world and make their own decisions - sometimes with disastrous results despite having the BEST most LOVING and morally instructive parents in the world. It is then our responsibility to support them so that they can deal with the consequences in an appropriate way, and that is EXACTLY what the Palin family is doing. If you can’t see that then I feel sorry for you...
HOWEVER, let us get back to the REAL topic at hand here shall we? You have assumed, and made statements to the effect that the libelous accusations against Palin about book banning are the truth. These libelous accusations have been repeatedly debunked not only on this thread already, but by a large number of MSM news agencies, as well as the librarian in question HERSELF. Why have you chosen to ignore these FACTS and instead use these lies to further your agenda of vilifying FReepers, and conservatives in general.
I have serious doubts that you are even a conservative, because in reading your posts you sound more like a sly liberal agitator. Your history shows that your comments are thinly veiled attacks not only against the GOP and Republicans, but against Conservatives in general. There is an obvious tone of sarcasm in all of your posts, and you just can’t resist getting a jab in against your “fellow” Conservatives.
You may be fooling some people with your tripe, but count me out of that number... As I said before — go back to DU. I can tell sarcasm and agitprop when I see it. Others may not wish to confront these things, but I for one am not afraid to call it as I see it... You are nothing more than a troll.
Every time a lefty attempts to tell me how consevatives think, I'm reminded of many conversations with my daughter. She wasn't very gifted at telling me what I thought, either.
