While I do not support 90% of Sarah Palin's views, I do not think her daughter being pregnant has anything to do with her running for VP. There may be arguments that if she cannot run her family, how can she run a country but teenagers do what teenagers want to do in the best of households. Bristol Palin is not running for office. She has a long and hard future, though likely not as hard as her present! Imagine being 17 and going through a pregnancy never mind the whole world now knowing.
The rumours about Palin have been flying since the announcement of her being chosen by McCain for his running mate. He did not chose the 17 year old daughter! He chose Sarah. Should she turn out to be an unwise choice, so be it. Leave the kids alone, especially leave the vulnerable 17 year old alone.
The irony of the movie "Juno" and now this eh? I do realize Juno was the pregnant teenager's name and not the city, Juneau, in Alaska but now it does seem a tad prophetic no?
I do, however, think that perhaps this shows that preaching birth control by abstinence may NOT be the wisest choice?
