Nothing like family values.

The 17-year-old daughter of Gov. Sarah Palin, John McCain’s running mate, is five months pregnant, Senator McCain’s campaign advisers announced today.
Odd how if it were a democrat, they would have been painted as awful parents since they didn't make her daughter take a 'purity vow'.

By way, as has been pointed out, Palin backed abstinence-only education during her 2006 gubernatorial race. In an Eagle Forum Alaska questionnaire, Palin gave this response to the following question:
Will you support funding for abstinence-until-marriage education instead of for explicit sex-education programs, school-based clinics, and the distribution of contraceptives in schools?
Palin: Yes, the explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support.

Oh no! Don’t tell me she is going to be “punished†with a baby!
You know, if Chelsea gave some guy a blowjob, the right would have had it all over the web. I am sure that somehow Palins grandbaby will come back to being Clinton's fault...what with all those liberal polices she was exposed to in elementary school.Oh no! Don’t tell me she is going to be “punished†with a baby!
Obama - I don't want my daughters "punished with a baby"

I don't think condoms work in subzero temps very well. You think this might cost them some of the evangelical votes? Shouldn't she have had her kid take a purity pledge?Mr. Tug McGroin,
I be amazed if the phamacy's in Alaska did not have condoms for sale.

Yeah. I'm sure the Palin family is thrilled with the thought of their unmarried 17 year old daughter being pregnant.
When is the party...
Let's see how much fun Sarah's kid is having at 22 - when all her friends are out doing what 22 year olds do. I do believe she'll feel she's being "punished" because of the baby. There was an old Gallagher routine where he had a boat anchor in a diaper. The gist of it was - your life changes dramatically after a baby - even if you PLANNED the baby. When you're only 17, you'll want to do things that other 18, 19, or 20 year olds do.I think we all know how the Obama family would have handled the situation had it been their daughter in this situation. After all, they wouldn’t want to “punish†their daughter with a baby. Classless.
Furthermore, if the Democrats wish to make an issue of a pregnant 17 year old girl that wishes to continue her pregnancy and marry the father of that child, by all means, be my guest.
Sorry what...but when your stated policy beliefs are that schools should teach "abstinence only", only to have your own kid end up pregnant, then maybe it's time to reevaluate that stance.Life is life at conception and should be welcomed and loved.
No matter the circumstances.
The Palin family is brave and courageous. Walking the talk.
Obviously they are above Obama's pay grade.
And those who are criticizing their private family decision are cowards.
I guess in the perfect, left of center world, children abide and mirror the teachings of their parents. If she were to conform to the values dear to the left, so could just as easily aborted the child and shacked up with the father.
If you had bothered to read anything other than the hate-filled diatribe sanctioned by the left, you would have come to understand the feelings the Palin family has for their daughter.
