Despite all that you can do, or all that you can want, there comes a time when the child will do what he wants. I have two children, both grown now, and I know what I'm talking about.

Don't blame the mother. Blame the system instead. And hopefully, despite her very conservative values, Palin will support her daughter, get her through the pregnancy, and accept the baby as a part of the family. And if she becomes Vice President, then I imagine the father will be having some nice, long chats with the Secret Service!


No you can't blame the parent for the behavior of a sexualy active teen BUT you can support sex education in school which Palin strongly opposes

What bother me most on this is Palin is a Conservative Republican and the Religious Right accecpts th fact the Bristol at 17 ans unmarried and pregnant is going to marry the babies father, however if this situation involved a DEMOCRATIC Candidate the Religious Right would be all over them
Paretns need to pratice what they preach or not preach

So muc for family values
