Bristol Baby: Sarah Palin's Teen Daughter Pregnant!

Posted by Whit Honea

 

Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter Bristol is five months pregnant.  She says that she will marry the father.

According to an aide, Republican Presidential nominee John McCain was aware of the high school senior's pregnancy before making Palin his VP choice.

“Senator McCain knew this and felt in no way did it disqualify her from being vice president,” said the aide. “Families have difficulties sometimes and lucky for her she has a supportive family.”

The aide also stated that the decision to reveal the pregnancy now was based on rumors that Sarah Palin’s four-month-old baby is actually Bristol's.  Guess they showed us.

“In the course of correcting that, we needed to get the truth out,” said the aide.

Sarah and Todd Palin issued a statement saying that they are “proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents” and asked the media to respect their daughters privacy.  I'm guessing that won't happen.

According to CNN,"McCain's aide insisted a key point to keep in mind is that Bristol decided to keep the baby, a decision “supported by her parents.”"

So, keep that in mind.

So the 17-year-old daughter got pregnant when she was sick in bed with mono? I guess it's tougher in Alaska. The dates on all of these Palin baby-making events are making my head spin. Anyone want to make out a Palin Babies Timeline? Or a family tree for the various scenarios that could potentially come out of this.... Sister, Mother, Grandma Palin? I guess it will all be figured out after the election is safely over.

How many more babies do you think Palin will have while she's VP, if the world ends and she's winds up in the White House?

So what kind of mother, and what kind of presidential candidate would subject an unmarried pregnant 17year old to such worldwide media attention . If my  unmarried 17 year old daughter was pregnant I would not want the whole world to know. Palin should have declined the VP offer on grounds she had to deal with a personal family situation.

And saying her daughter has decided to keep the baby. WTH -Satah Palin does not beleive a woman or girl should even have the right to an abortion even after rape and incest.

Republicans have no morals! Palin needs to pay attention to her own family!  McCain is such a moron! God help us if they win this election!

Great, more republican lies.  This is exactly why we don't need another republican president!

I truly believe that Bristol is Trig's Mom (and wtf, Trig? Don't they have baby name books in Alaska? Maybe it's short for "Trigger"?) The hospital has no record of Trig's birth, Bristol had "mono" and was out of school the 4-5 months prior to Trig's birth, which was probably because her pregnancy was starting to show.  Of course Sarah Palin went back to work 4 days after Trig was born, Grandmothers aren't allowed maternity leave!! Duh!

I bet she's really proud of the fact that her daughter didn't wait until she was married to have sex.  Then again, it doesn't seem like Palin practices what she preaches, either.  She had her first baby 8 months after she got married. Do the math, shotgun wedding anyone?

The real question is not whether a teenage girl in the modern world happened to get pregnant.  The real question is:  What kind of mother would parade her under age pregnant child out on the stage in front of the whole world??  Has this woman no shame at all??  It makes you wonder what Conservatives mean by "family values."  Shame on you, Sarah Palin!!!

Hmm... I don't know if Sarah Palins baby really is hers or her teenage daughter? If the baby was born in April and it is her teenage daughters then that means that her daughter would of gotten pregnant right after giving birth to Trig? IF she is really 5 months pregnant? Lets see we are in Sept.... April May June July Aug. Sept. Yeah... IDK timeline doesn't add up? I'm confused!? Anyways... people making a big deal about a political person's daughter being pregnant at the age of 17. I love how the media throws in there... "unmarried 17 year old daughter". I was 17 when I got pregnant for my daughter. Actually my daughter is a special needs child as well. I'm almost 22 and I graduated high school and finished out my senior yr. People these days disgust me.

Life is life, and we all know someone in this situation... I do feel a lot of empathy for the now famous "Bristol Palin" ... it is heart wrenching to think of what she is going through. Whatever she is going through (and I imagine it is a hell I never want to know) is a direct consequence of the "Leadership" she has known.... it is unfortunate that Bristol's life is being paraded around, but that was her "loving" mother's choice, Governor Sarah Palin has made this a public issue, especially when she parades around her other four offspring and "proud, moralistic" lifestyle... it's not any fellow American's right to place judgement on Sarah Palin's family or moral standards, or even life decisions and choices.... but it is our duty as American citizens to at least attempt to elect decent role models for our leadership positions, and as a "Hard-working, educated, American female - I do NOT endorse Sarah Palin and her canidacy...
