Ok let's forget about sex for a minute, hard as that may be for both of us.
Explain to me the rationale behind setting the bar to something easily obtainable. I would venture that by doing so, one would ensure mediocrity.
Depends on what you consider easily obtainable. I'd say set the bar at something realistic and go from there.
I'm a teenager who is about to become a adult in a few months when I turn 18.
I have never smoked, never done any kind of drugs, never have had any alcohol, and never had sex.
However, I can not say the same about more probably then 1/2 of my classmates if not more.
I'm not saying don't set the bar low, just don't expect perfection out of these kids.
And that is what the GOP does expect in many aspects. Especially with the Abstinence creed but saying that kids shouldn't have sex before marriage is alright in my eyes.
It's when you make that the only option and leave no help for the ones who don't choose to follow is what irks me.
We don't know if Bristol Palin was using birth control pills or whatever and we'll probably never know.
However, I would assume it would be pretty difficult to attain such things by yourself considering your the governor's daughter.
And we don't know how she feels about having the kid or getting married to Levi.
What if she doesn't want both? She doesn't have a choice because you can imagine the backlash if Sarah Palin allowed her daughter to have a abortion with a baby that wasn't threatening her life.
