Wow, for some reason there's a real need here to pile on the Palins. As if there's no shotgun weddings in your family tree?

I'm beginning to suspect seminar trollers.

I’m certainly not piling on (altho I predicted someone would say we were). Listen, you can like Palin, and think she would be great and STILL see that her daughter’s unwed pregnancy is not a thing to celebrate. If you think inner city girls should not be having babies out of wedlock, you can’t then turn around and say it’s ok because we like her Mom. I wish her well, and I think that child will be fine because of the family support system, however I think it has done some harm (unfortunately) to her Mom’s career. It may not be a fatal blow, but it’s awfully hard to preach abstinence education when your own daughter did not practice it. This is NOT a Palin bash, it’s the cold hard facts. And I’m not a troll.

I don't see people piling on the Palins. I think most of the people here hold the Palins in very high regard.

I do see people making comments about a typical airheaded young girl who didn't think about the impact of unprotected pre-marital sex on herself, her family and the baby.

Yes, both parties are guilty but it is easy for the man to walk away. The woman has much more to lose.
The woman is the one that gets left carrying a baby for nine months and then having to raise it without a father.
