   Yes.

   Apparently, as you point out, not getting an abortion but having an out of wedlock child with two jobless teenagers as parents is now “courageous and brave.”

   Look for the welfare roles to swell as teens all over America follow these two role models.

   Oh, oh, I forgot to mention that all is forgiven if they just get married. Aww, isn’t it precious and just heartwarming to know you’ll be paying for teens to breed?

   Apparently dems are showing their true colors. They can’t stand a female as VP so they viciously attack her family. Obviously they don’t care about family values at all. Apparently Palins daughter marrying the babies father is wrong as the repeated absurd questions show very clearly.

   It may be as long as the family stands behind the offending teen. It is just very sad. Her life is over at 17 because the child is the center. I hope it’s not glamorized because there is nothing glamorous about it.

   edit: I don’t think badly of the teen. It’s the parents’ responsibility. It really is. There are plenty of teenagers that don’t become pregnant. It’s hard work being parents. There are plenty of young parents and even older ones that haven’t gotten partying out of their system and the children pay the price for it.

   edit: How does she know what she wants at 17? Yes, it’s possible that she wanted it just like those Gloucester teens. She dropped out of high school. That’s just great, isn’t it? I’m guessing that you live in fairy tale land where everything is fine and wonderful. I’m not worried about Bristol. I’m worried about the others. If you aren’t then I suggest that you are very naive.

   edit: How do people make such outrageous leaps and claims? I am not in favor of unwed pregnant teens. I am in favor of prevention and education. I am in favor of opportunities for all. There is so much we don’t know with respect to Bristol. It’s not about her because she has family support. She’s lucky. Not everyone is like Bristol. Not everyone has a strong family. There are troubled teens out there. There are teens that romanticize the idea of being a young mother. Do you realize or get that?

   edit: What about Kaylee and others like her? Mom and Dad leave them to go partying. What happens?

   oh, that’s right! he’s trying to hide it….i wonder why?

   and all the brilliant work he’s done since he got to the senate….please.

   tos answer: no.

   sincerly, illinois-the biggest liberal disaster ever.

   sahara-do you KNOW she didn’t want a baby…maybe she’s REALLY HAPPY? but that’s not possible in the liberal world, now is it?
   “her life is over”—wow! that’s narrow minded. my life didn’t end when i had kids. how tolerant and inclusive of you.

   Unwed teen pregnancies have ALWAYS been a family value for democrats.
   I love it how the liberals try to paint themselves as progressives, which is basically the same thing.

   Conservatives are OK with it because Levis “seed” wasn’t wasted on a blue dress.

    No, unwed teen pregnancy has been an accepted part of the American family ever since I can remember.

    And I’m not overlooking the Keating 5. I’m also not overlooking the fact that McCain introduced a bill alongside the likes of Russ Feingold that was about campaign finance reform when the Keating 5 was about campaign finance shenanigans.

    I’m voting for McCain because all that pales in comparison to voting for someone who hates me because of the color of my skin.

    You don’t get it, do you?
    When Jamie-Lynn Spears (or whatever her name is) does it, it’s ‘liberal promiscuity’, but when Bristol Palin does the same thing, it’s ‘BUILDING THE NATION”.
