The irony of the moment the world found out that the person promoting abstinence had a pregnant daughter also must have gone right over a few people’s heads from what I read here on FR. Granted, Palin got unfair treatment, but this kind of nonsense didn’t help.
Many of us here a Christians and we promote the good message and it's teachings. But we are still sinning every day. Falling short of an ideal (and in this case it was her daughter, not herself), doesn't make neither her wrong, nor the ideal wrong.
Actually, the issue was handled just fine....except by some of the media. And it was precisely the MEDIA that caused problems with its obvious bias. I also think it was the reaction of our pop culture of death (parroted by that MEDIA) that was in a state of incredulous horror....having found a woman, an authentic feminist with intelligence, governing experience and the ability to communicate ....having found her to LIVE a virtuous LIFE. THAT ALONE disgusted them! The fact that she had a child who made a very human mistake doesn’t seem to penetrated the LOGIC center of their brains. Such people REALLY would have preferred that she and her daughter have abortions. Such people are those who think it good to allow all and any types of sexual encounters, apart from natural and moral law, without having to deal with consequences....AND they want to be APPROVED for so doing.
Good to know you are perfect and everything you do and touch is likewise perfect. Either you are not a parent or you have no clue as to what your children are really doing.
