so what about other teenage mothers?

so Bristol will be fine, that's great.

what about other teenage mothers in AK, who aren't so lucky? maybe their parents kicked them out when they heard the news?

well, those teenagers can just suck it, according to Palin:



By Paul Kane
ST. PAUL -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee who revealed Monday that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, earlier this year used her line-item veto to slash funding for a state program benefiting teen mothers in need of a place to live.

After the legislature passed a spending bill in April, Palin went through the measure reducing and eliminating funds for programs she opposed. Inking her initials on the legislation -- "SP" -- Palin reduced funding for Covenant House Alaska by more than 20 percent, cutting funds from $5 million to $3.9 million. Covenant House is a mix of programs and shelters for troubled youths, including Passage House, which is a transitional home for teenage mothers.

According to Passage House's web site, its purpose is to provide "young mothers a place to live with their babies for up to eighteen months while they gain the necessary skills and resources to change their lives" and help teen moms "become productive, successful, independent adults who create and provide a stable environment for themselves and their families."

Palin's own daughter, Bristol, is five months pregnant and has plans to wed.

"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family," Palin said in a statement released by the McCain campaign. "We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi's privacy, as has always been the tradition of children of candidates."

Earlier today the Associated Press reported that Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, opposed funding to prevent teen pregnancies, a position that Palin also took as governor. "The explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support," she wrote in a 2006 questionnaire distributed among gubernatorial candidates.

Reporters asked McCain in November 2007 whether he supported grants for sex education in the United States, whether such programs should include directions for using contraceptives and whether he supports President Bush's policy of promoting abstinence.

"Ahhh, I think I support the president's policy," McCain said.

so, no, "my friends", it's not about personal issues. it's about blatant hypocrisy and a lack of basic compassion. THAT'S why Sarah Palin is wrong for this country.

these are the things that Obama and Biden need to underscore in their debates and interviews.

We should show Bristol sympathy, and yet if she were a poor woman on the southside of Chicago, the story would be different.

Has anyone else noticed that when you rearrange the letters of Sarah's last name they spel "Plain" ????

also, "in lap"

I assume Palin taught her daughter about abstinence.

So either abstinence doesn't work, or Palin's a poor mother.

Also, "Palin" is the root of "Palindrome". Same forwards as backwards; in other words, no progress at all.

i'm serious here. wtf was she thinking to cut this agency's funding? i'm sure that AK is not exactly a treasure trove of nonprofit funding opportunities.

More like an aerial-hunting-with-assault-rifles kind of wedding.

I'm sorry, but this should not be an issue. This is tabloid stuff.
