Some perspective on Bristol Palin's pregnancy

Her pregnancy is a reflection on her mothers views thats why the attacks. Has nothing to do with Bristols mistake.

If mom wants those views for us all she better enforce them at home.

you really can't say that it's a reflection of her mother's views. Perhaps more a rebellion against her mother's views?

Or, how about it's completely normal for teens to have sex? Can't we just say that?

or, how about mom said abstinence but school said its ok, but use a condom, and the condom failed?
hmmmm

How about mom said abstinence, school said contraception and her daughter said " Thank you --now I will make my own CHOICE !

Gee this whole slant is strange, I admit I thought I had seen everything on the internet but the amount of bizarre ideas coming out of the woodwork, from various groups, on this issue, was something I wouldn't have expected.

Personally, I was pregnant before marriage. I was 29 at the time and attaining an advanced degree so it's a little different.

My husband's mom had her first child as a teen, and that child had her first child as a teen, and I am not sure if either were married but I think both were high school sweetheart types.

I am pretty open minded, I plan to vote Obama/Biden, I don't find this pregnancy scandalous AT ALL. What the??? I expect there is as good a chance my daughters will accidentally become pregnant as that they won't - and why would that be a problem? If I am around to help I certainly will.

It's just bizarre to me that this story has any legs at all. There were lots of girls getting preggers in HS back in the day, and it hasn't changed.

Condoms are a good idea because of STD. They also prevent pregnancy, most of the time. Sex, well, I don't want my kids to have it today but I hope they are having it as young adults. 17? I think I expect it, though of course I guess I'd rather they waited.

I just don't get the scandal here. I don't expect the schools to teach my kids about condoms. In fact, the more open parents are with their kids about sex ed, the less need there is for ballot initiatives requiring parental notification for abortions, which I oppose for a variety of reasons, surrounding personal liberty. The best way to reduce abortion is to reduce poverty.

I always thought ballot initiatives requiring parental notification were bizarre, I expect there will be another this fall. A healthy family and society would have frank and open conversations about sex, and parental notification would happen as a matter of course. My kids have always been able to talk about 'body stuff' with me and we've broached birth control already.

Palin's family is her own business. The reason she shouldn't be VP of the US is because she would be a heartbeat away from being commander in chief of the most powerful military in the world, and she doesn't sound as though she knows much about foreign affairs.

Her views on sex-ed are beside the point. Whether it gets taught in school or not is silly. Nothing keeps me and my kids from continuing our frank and open discussions about these things. Put her in charge of a nuclear arsenal, on the other hand, and I'm a little more concerned about the country.

Or, how about it's completely normal for teens to have sex? Can't we just say that?
