When the heck are they going to get married? Why didn’t they marry before the birth so that the baby could be legitimate? Is she waiting so that she can have a big fancy wedding with a fancy dress? It seems to me that they fact that they haven’t already gotten married is a clear message that they have no respect for traditional, conservative social values.

I like Sarah, but this whole episode is sad.

SHHHHH...Mommy has an (R) after her name, so it's okay.

They are going to marry in summer. If you are going to have a wedding, you want it (and the bride) to be as beautiful as possible, don't you?

clear message that they have no respect for traditional, conservative social values.

Clear message that you have found a pretext to dismiss Palin.

They are making the best of the situation. Sometimes life does not work out exactly as planned. Yes, it would be better if they got married. Yes, it would be better if they didn’t get pregnant at such a young age. Life happens.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones- all those glamorous beautiful people- sold their wedding pictures for megabucks

and waited until the mommy-bride got her figure back to fit her designer wedding dress before having a wedding

Halle Berry, Nicole Richie, Jamie Spears, Angelina Jolie

It's getting harder for the paparazzi to find a glamour babe of any age in hollywood who gets married first. And them that age out- hire a surrogate or adopt, like
Calista Flockhart, Sheryl Crowe, Meg Ryan

This is what is fed to our teenagers on the big screen the small screen, and the checkout stands

If our “culture”, or “society” or “media” really thinks unwed mothers are skanks and bearing babies or raising them without marriage is a bad thing- they need to stop glamourizing it and lionizing the hollywood “stars” who do it

I am sorry you have done everything perfect in your life. The kids had sex (shouldn't have). But it is over and they are doing the right thing.

Sorry some of us fall short of perfection.

Well put. Our agreement with many of Palin's positions seems to have blinded many of us to this incident.

Let's be 100% honest and admit we wouldn't be talking about a Democrat VP parent the way we have about Palin if his/her daughter were in exactly the same position.

I disagree. It seems to me a case of "locking the barn door after the horses got out."

What does it matter WHEN they get married since she was already pregnant? At least this way, it can never be said, "They had to get married."

I think the fact that they are not "Public figures" but are constantly the source of public discussion says as much about our society as all the pregnant teenagers!

Why should teenagers be ashamed of their conduct when adults have no shame?
