Bristol Palin is pregnant again and doesn’t want a lecture about it

Bristol Palin is pregnant and this is news.

The 24-year-old daughter of former vice presidential candidate and “SNL” punching bag Sarah Palin has spent the last seven years since her mom’s failed bid for the White House making abstinence (and holiness in general) her personal and very profitable cause celeb.

In 2008, 17-year-old Palin’s unplanned teen pregnancy threatened to derail her mom’s White House hopes. But her potentially embarrassing narrative quickly turned to one of resilience and the reality shows followed. Palin appeared on season 11 of “Dancing with the Stars” and in her own Lifetime docu-series, “Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp.”

In 2009, Palin earned $262,500 as The Candie Foundation’s teen pregnancy ambassador but that same year told Fox’s Greta Van Susteren, “everyone should be abstinent or whatever but it’s not realistic at all.”

It was bad enough when only poor black women squatted litters of bastard children. Now we have rich white women doing the same.

Is it any wonder this nation is doomed?

[River Hawk]

Well-said. Our society has changed so much, and in this area, not for the better. sin and temptation have existed since the fall of man, but when your society says it’s ok that makes it even harder.

[conservative98]

Well said.

“Some other threads if anyone is interested in the many comments thereon:”

I’ve never kept up with Bristol. I knew she had one child out of wedlock but as far as what she has done with her life since, I didn’t know. So, now she is pregnant again out of wedlock. These children need a mom and dad but it appears she isn’t thinking of that. I now care even less what she does with her life. I feel sorry for the children.

[Arthur McGowan]

Sarah didn’t hide the fact that her first son was born seven months after her wedding.

All cultures are equally valid.

[The people have spoken]

But you’d better not call Sandra Fluke a slut.

I object to this whole notion that this is a Mistake. A Child is NEVER a Mistake. It was always meant to be this way.

10 years from Now when that child is running and playing in the Sun, I dare you to walk to him/her and tell them it Their Life was a Mistake. I wasn't a Mistake, and neither were you. The Child is all that matters. Talk about being "Pro-Life" I have seen some nasty come out for this unborn baby already.

BTW, let he who is without a situation like this in their family cast the first stone. >:(

To: KC and all the others I pinged in this post:

Those may be some of the finest words ever crafted here on Free Republic, the world's leading forum for pro-God, pro-life activism. Bristol's new child is indeed a Blessing from God and I, for one, am rejoicing that little Tripp will soon have a sibling. God is Great! Now, if she were an atheistic leftist, the child would have been flushed down the toilet, all to the delight of DemonRATs. But thankfully, as a committed Christian, Bristol Palin reject baby-killing and has been a loving and caring mom as this picture so clearly shows:

Moreover, while still only her mid-20s, Bristol has demonstrated financial wisdom far beyond her years. She has invested well the earnings from various sources of income. Thus, it's a certainty that her family will be well-nurtured. Unlike welfare queens who depend on the government to raise their single-parent children, Tripp and his new brother or sister will be provided for by the financially-astute Miss Bristol Palin.

Why is Bristol a “slut” and Sarah a bad parent? Are the men she had sex with sluts? Is Todd a bad parent?

[Zenjitsuman]

Bristol is old enough to do what she wants, and her mistakes at her age are her fault an her actions are her responsibility.

How many Pastors kids do things they know their father and religious principles do not condone.

Sarah cannot be faulted for what transpires in her adult daughters life.

As a parent of four, I understand and support Sarah who tried her best I am sure. You can lead by example just so much.

Libs cruelly will mock Sarah for her daughters life choices. I just laugh that they will at sometime find it comming back to haunt them, since everyone has family issues.

It’s certainly a sin to have sex out of wedlock. That’s not casting stones. That’s simply telling it like it is. And, yeah. We’re all sinners. The distinction is some repent and some don’t. The fact that Bristol Palin “doesn’t want a lecture” sure sounds like she’s not the slightest bit repentant. Again, that’s between her and God, but I sure don’t have to applaud that sort of attitude. I suppose you could say I accept the child, but I don’t accept Bristol’s public example of sin. As an example to others, she’s terrible.

[Marcella]

“Bristol is old enough to do what she wants, and her mistakes at her age are her fault an her actions are her responsibility. Sarah cannot be faulted for what transpires in her adult daughters life.”

I agree with what you say. It’s too bad that family is in the cross hairs of media who pounce on every utterance they make. However, Bristol seems to WANT to live her life in front of media. That is bad for Sarah since the connection is there but that’s the way it is.

[kearnyirish2]

Yes, straight up Hollywood. Don’t you?

[re_nortex]

Does she know what causes this?

I'll weigh in with what I think is a plausible explanation but YMMV. Recall that in June 2009, the evil liberal David Letterman of See-BS uttered these seething words of pure hate:

"Sarah Palin went to a Yankees game yesterday. There was one awkward moment during the seventh-inning stretch: her daughter [Bristol] was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez."

And then the floodgates were opened wide. Liberals of all stripes characterized poor Bristol using offensive terms like "slut", "floozy", "whore", "strumpet" and other such language that decorum prevents me from repeating here on Free Republic, a family forum.

As I see it, the endless torrent of hate may have effected young Bristol Palin, not yet reaching adulthood at that time. She was vilified like no other has ever been and subjected to an unending stream of malicious mockery. Words do indeed have meaning and they can leave scars. While not excusing this particular case of poor decision-making on her part, I believe that knowing the context that led up to this is important. Recall that the left is the enemy and they seek to destroy all that's good and wholesome. In conclusion, I see that Miss Bristol Palin was specifically targeted for attack by the lamestream media, led by the reprehensible David Letterman and she was wounded deeply.

This

Bristol if you don’t want a lecture get out of our faces and stop riding the fading fame of your family name, all honor and respect of which was EARNED by your MOTHER

Who now has to weather another round of scorn and ridicule for YOUR behavior, at the expense of promoting her ideals and values

Some of which you obviously do not support

And you have the gall to whine about not wanting “sympathy”

Honey if you want sympathy hire a therapist and pay for it, maybe you will untangle why sex with losers was more important than a pill diaphragm or implant

Shut up, go away, get a degree, get a life and know someday how you robbed your mother of something very very precious to fill your own selfish impulsive and emotionally questionable sexual needs

[Jane Long]

Welcome Baby Palin....we can’t wait to meet you and love you.

May He keep and bless mama and child (and Gramma and Grandpa, too!).

[re_nortex]

It was bad enough when only poor black women squatted litters of bastard children. Now we have rich white women doing the same.

First of all Bristol Palin's new child is hardly a b*st*rd. He or she is a precious Gift from God. And as for being a rich "white" woman, recall that her heritage includes some Eskimo (Yup'ik) blood and that Bristol, while well-off and quite responsible when it comes to finance, is hardly rich in the league of vile leftists like Michael Moore, Warren Buffett, George Soros and Barbra Streisand.

Miss Bristol Palin will be an exceptional parent to Tripp and his soon-to-be sibling.

[RedMDer]

Very well said.

I hate to say Kalut but she’s 25% Kalut. They are not known for celibacy. Sad but true. Or she’s just too stupid to use birth control. You be the judge. Of course you would think her new best friend the “exteme model” whatever that means (porn star) would have counseled her about it.
