Sarah Palin's daughter IS pregnant, actually

[Sbane]

This is a story maybe only because of Palin's resistance to sex-ed programs. Of course we do not know the circumstances under which Bristol got pregnant, so it could be due to bad BCP's or a broken condom. Yet the real point is that republicans always look like hypocrites when something like this happens because they do not practice what they preach. Why the hell is it so hard to teach kids how to be safe and avoid the exact situation Bristol find herself in today. Please do not think I am trying to bash Bristol since she made a very courageous and right choice in keeping the baby. I have more of a problem with her mommy just because of her political position, one which results in more pregnancies than should happen. Conservatives need to understand that the best way to prevent abortions is by making sure the baby is not concieved in the first place. I know they like to pretend we all live in Disneyland but guess what the world ain't so perfect.

I think I missed where Bristol is a self-identified Republican who preaches sexual abstinence.

It's about her mommy idiot. Did you even read what I wrote? I said Bristol was a very courageous young girl with the decision that she made. But see her mom takes political positions that will lead to more unwanted pregnancies. I know conservatives like to preach abstinence but it just doesn't happen. Sorry but the world is not perfect.

Sarah Palin is a hypocrite because her daughter disobeyed her.  Um, OK.

 I am just saying that her position is wrong and it is a bit ironic that it was her daughter that proved her wrong. Of course Palin's dumbass position on sex-ed will lead to other pregnancies and abortions we will never hear of.

And who says the "culture wars" are dead and dying? 

Ugh they should be. Especially on something like sex-ed when it is stunningly clear it leads to less pregnancies. Of course the beef social cons have with it is that it seems to condone promiscuity. But see personally I would just like less abortions and ruined lives. I guess you can't change religious people's mind though.

Her daughter proved premarital sex is good, not bad?

HUH??? She proved it is bad I guess but what is really bad is not using protection and getting pregnant. Now she is the daughter of a governor and possibly VP so she won't have a lot of problems raising her child. But other girls who are in her situation and choose to have the baby are much more likely to not go to college and thus are screwed for the rest of their lives.

You're busy painting a picture of Palin as some extreme right-wing theocon, but are you aware she is pro-contraceptives and a member of Feminists for Life?

But if you don't teach that to kids it leads to more teenage prenancies. It is just fact. And like I said maybe Bristol's birth control failed or something so I definetly don't want to go personal here.

OK, sbane, that does it. Palin is wrong with her abstinence only sex education ideas, giving my own little secular humanism libertine biases on these small matters of coital satisfaction. I'm voting for Obama. Heck I know what is important, and what isn't. That is why they pay me the big bucks.

Now I would not want to change your vote just based on this. It might push some of those on the fence of course. But hey considering how far Obama is moving to the right on economics, I am pretty sure you can afford to vote for him yeah? I mean you do have to factor in the war in Iran while making these decisions.  That must lead to more "taxes" on your marginal rate. Oh wait inflation doesn't work like that.
