Never saw Chelsea Clinton have kids out of wedlock. Heck even the Bush girls managed to get married first before popping out kids and I don't think either of those girls were spokeswomen for Abstinence-Only programs. And you know if either of Obama's girls were pregnant they would be ruthlesses trashed in the media.
I'm no saint and I'm not one to judge. But I have alway pushed for sex education with our children and a smart family planning program like Planned Parenthood that ensured anyone would have access to reliable, safe birth control. I feel a combination of these 2 things means the number of abortions would naturally decline.
But Sarah Palin and her ilk have no problem passing moral judgement on other people and their kids who have children out of wedlock. They mock minorities who are single mothers trying to make ends meet raising their kids and deny these women any options such as affordable or even free birth control.
Bristol Palin is an adult. She is the dummy who made that first twitter calling her current condition a 'huge disappointment'. Perhap the smartest thing that Ms. Palin could do is shut down her social media account, resign from whatever spokesperson roles she might have and just raise her babies in privacy. If she choose to do that then I would respect it and stay out of it. But she invited us in so she needs to realize that she may get people showing up she doesn't want.
