Yes. A lot of families force the daughter to have an abortion so as not to “embarrass” the family. They can force the child because abortion is legal, and young scared pregnant girls are easily influenced by their authority figures.
And if she had an abortion, there would be no “story”, and nobody would be sniffing around to learn it.
I pray that I have taught my children better. I know good christian families who have had to deal with this issue.
I certainly don’t think this is a good situation, but it has nothing to do with Sarah Palin. It seems a bit sexist to blame her for her daughter’s actions, in a way we’d never blame her father.
She made a mistake.
She is doing the right thing.
The misguided folks here castigating her are perilously close to the Pharisees, as though there were such a thing as a sinless candidate with a sinless family.
They are not helping at all.
They only aid the libs in their attempts to charge "Hypocrisy!"
