It is a shame how Bristol words are being abused and twisted.

She made a mistake and acknowledges it as such. She clearly said that, learning from her mistake, kids should wait, while at the same time acknowedlging the unfortunate reality that in this day and age most kids her age aren't receptive for this message.

So does this mean that we shouldn't teach a good ideal because it is too often disobeyed? No! We should continue to teach good ideals, because they are right. But at the same time we should support those who made mistakes, while making it clear that they have to accept the consequences and responsibilities.

THIS is the essence of her statements.

The left, and their “father” (of lies) want there to be no standards -

do what thou will shall be the whole of the law.

Well said...

I personally know of two good men/dads....one a pastor, the other a headmaster at a Christian school.

Each had more than one child....but one in each family made a moral mistake.

Each (almost adult) child paid the consequences of their actions...

..and the parents kept loving them.

How hard is that to understand by the liberal media...

..It's not hard....they're simply playing Devil's advocate for real.

It’s it in a nutshell.

All one can do is repeat over and over again that abstinence is the only sure way to stay out of trouble.

I watched part of the review – she seems to regret to whole event, but fully acknowledges responsibility. Luckily, she has loving parents and great family to assist her as needed.

The article is just another cheap shot.
