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.”

OK, she’s a slut. they come in all stripes.

Thank God you posted this. Why, we’ve not had another Bristol is pregnant thread in - hours.

[GeronL]

Liberals HATE single mothers!!!!

Well!

This is simply tabloid trash and in these perilous times is a non-story. More to the point, it in no way, shape or form reflects adversely on Patriot Sarah Palin! Governor Palin remains the Republic’s leading, steadfast voice for pro-God Conservatism.

She doesn't want a lecture...

but, a reality show and maybe a book deal will be OK.

The good thing about Bristol is that, suddenly, the feminists don’t think slut-shaming is such a bad thing.

I am sorry, but I disagree with Bristol on this one, with honest effort, it is very much possible to avoid pre-marital sex.

[Morpheus2009]

She’s an adult now, so she has her own responsibility to answer for.

It did not derail Sarah in 08. McCain derailed her along with that harpy Nicole Wallace and that Frankenstein-looking guy - Steve Schmidt?

The good thing about Bristol is that, suddenly, the feminists don’t think slut-shaming is such a bad thing.

Lots of FReepers are on board with that sentiment too.

There is no defense for her “progressive” family structure; she has ended any political aspirations her mother ever had (unless Sarah wants to run as a Democrat).

[right way right]

Does she know what causes this?

For some reason I feel compelled to post “I don’t give a damn”, just like some people can’t refrain from posting “I don’t watch TV”.

Still no birth control use? Where does she live-Alaska? ;-)

[DJ MacWoW]

For PDSer's anything ends Palins political career. The truth is she has become a pundit and is comfortable where she is.

And Patty Davis, Ronnie's daughter, posing nude did his memory a great deal of damage, right?

[kearnyirish2]

I don’t even remember Reagan’s daughter.

I supported and voted for Sarah Palin; this isn’t helping. She looks like a crappy parent who didn’t instill much in her daughter.

I was going to wait if/when Sarah comment on this to Ping her list, But This is The Sixth(?) Thread, Good Lord Ping.

You'd think this was a slow news day.

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. >:(

[DJ MacWoW]

You can blame the parent or the adult child making choices. Again, Reagan has a fairy for a son and a liberal tramp for a daughter. Do you think he was a lousy parent?
