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.”

What people forget is that she was pregnant in 2008...7 yrs ago. I follow her blog and she loves her son dearly and takes fantastic care of the little guy. She found what she thought was a guy who she was going to marry and grow old with and “gasp”...had sex with him. She may have even wanted to get pregnant right away because she was so in love and was going to marry him. Unfortunately something happened(we don’t know what) and she is now pregnant and not getting married. Personally I think it is amazing how well Bristol organized her young life around her son and was probably yearning for a fairy tale ending with her beau. She is not a “slut or a whore” Just a woman who obviously loves her child and wanted to have a family
Amen!!
I've seen offensive language, even here on Free Republic, used to characterize Bristol as a "slut" and her new baby as a "b*st*rd". That's not only unacceptable but so far from reality as to be ridiculous.
The pictures below are a study in contrast showing Bristol Palin as a she really is, a caring and loving mother. Next to her is a genuine slut, the vile (and quite obviously ugly) Sandra Fluke, DemonRAT. The comparison between the two is self-evident.

As I understand, Letterman tried to cover his distasteful mockery by claiming the "joke" was directed at Bristol who was over 18 at the time and not the younger child, Willow. Of course, Governor Palin saw it otherwise.
Either way, Letterman was and is lower than pond scum. The bulk of my points in the post still stand when it comes to the relentless barrage of attacks from the left on all of the Palins.
If you are an adult, as Bristol is, you don't have to avoid it. What if she doesn't want to "avoid" it?
Rich white women doing it doesn't pick my pocket or contribute to the crime epidemic, so its no problem.
Her claim is that it’s impossible and oppressive. I disagree.
The child is born outside of marriage and raised outside of it. That is no fault of his own. A cousin of mine was born to an unwed mother, and he decided that is not how he was going to follow a different route.
OK, disagree. It is oppressive. Even if it is imposed upon oneself. It is still oppressive. Anyway, Bristol is an adult, and I am reasonably confident that her children will never mug me or rob my house or pick my pocket through social welfare programs. So this entire thing is a non-issue.
Who is this “extreme model” friend?
Yeah, well then let’s just agree to disagree. I live my life just fine and I don’t mug or riot either.
Who knows? Bristol tweeted out a pic of them standing by a Winnebago the weekend she dumped the aftermath of her break up on her mother. Poor Sarah Palin was at this barbeque which was supposed to have been the wedding party trying to schmooze with the relatives and guests that had been invited. Talk about embarrassing and her loser daughter was up in Alaska tweeting selfies with this girl who in the article was described as an extreme model. She looked like a slightly pudgy skank. So you be the judge.
First comes love then comes marriage then comes Bristol with the baby carriage. Well I guess not.
Not too bright, is she? She must enjoy the publicity and criticism. I guess “bad” is better than none at all!
“”The pictures below are a study in contrast showing Bristol Palin as a she really is, a caring and loving mother””
You can tell that from a picture of her holding a baby? WHEW! That’s similar to those who said the obozo’s are such grand parents because they have their pictures taken with their girls and they are HOLDING HANDS. And I do believe the same was said about the Clintons...Don’t you really need to see these people up close and personal to make that determination?
That is an Outstanding Post. Congratulations!
Bristol didn’t show up at that party? Are you kidding me? She left others to cover for her?
Ugh
