EXACTLY RIGHT! I'm getting tired of Freepers who should know better, fall into the media trap, and spread this stuff. I think I'm seeing 10 times the anti-Palin stories here than over on the DU.
Uh. No.
You, once again are misrepresenting my position.
I believe I had to post 5 or 6 times that, given their evident unwillingness to marry, they should have given the baby to a married couple to adopt as soon as possible, rather than fooling themselves and others that they “needed time to establish their careers” or whatever excuse they were offering at the moment for their unwillingness to provide the child committed parents.
Darn flaming straights ruining the nuclear family...
In all seriousness, this doesn’t reflect on our Sarah at all. No parent can guarantee that her child will make wise choices. The important part is that parents try their best and play an active role in the lives of their children.
>>Sorry, you are crazy. So you recommend giving away your kid even INSTEAD of marrying!? Hello? <<
The conversation was about marrying for the baby. I.e. shotgun.
Indeed.
It seems facts are not your strong suit.
I have said repeatedly that the correct move was to find committed parents, not to pretend to be anything other than irresponsible kids who got in way over the heads.
Save your judgements for yourself. Bristol sinned and is suffering the consequences for her actions, but it us her child and she knows what us best for him, not us.
Do you have an idea how many marriages are due to out-of-wedlock pregancies?
I can go get the thread if you’d like. You clearly were not happy they did not get married.
>>There is a complete family. The Palins.<<
That’s the baby’s Grandparents.
So this baby will do fine. Great. But how many other teen moms will we cheer as they present their offspring for Grandparents to raise?
The Baby isn't being abused, the baby has a home, the baby has two parents, the baby has two sets of grandparents. The baby is loved, cared for and has a bright future.
So take this baby away and put it in a completely foreign environment for a complete family ???
That makes a lot of sense
Granted, it's unfortunate the couple split up, but it would be even more unfortunate to do what you suggest
Forgot about them. It must be truly sad to look back on your life and see you have given nothing to anyone except yourself. Not everyone can have children, but they have the gift of mothering and fathering others. I personally hope my husband always makes more than me, I can work part- time and be home with the teens. Time flies so fast and I feel like they need me as much now as when they were two.
Ha! Oh yeah...that’s it.... I’m outta bullets....how could I possibly argue with your brilliant analysis that this 18 year old, PRO-LIFE young woman (from a wonderful, loving family) be treated like a “perp” < /sarcasm >
Please go back and follow the conversation. You are taking this out of context.
So you’re saying that when my husband died I should have given up my son to another “family” with a mother and dad because I didn’t have a husband anymore? You sound very bitter.
>>Save your judgements for yourself. Bristol sinned and is suffering the consequences for her actions, but it us her child and she knows what us best for him, not us.<<
She is being told what is best by a screwed up society.
You are simply mistaken. Go get the thread, and/or admit your error.
Given that they did not marry immediately, it was clear that a shotgun marriage was not going to make things better.
I was repeatedly attacked for implying that they were not marriage material.
If my mom were still alive I'd pass on your BRILLIANT advice and ask her why she didn't do what you are advocating..........
There are rare occasions where I am just plain ashamed to admit that I am a conservative and your statement has created such a moment..........
I agree with you.
If childless couples want to adopt, they should stop waiting around for babies and set their sights on toddlers and older children who are desperate for loving families.
And the desire to remove child from a single parent is a bit draconian. Actually, it is damn weird unless there are extenuating circumstances...like abuse, neglect or other dire circumstances.
