Bristol Palin is Pregnant!

Bristol Palin is Pregnant!

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin announced that her 17-year-old daughter Bristol Palin is five months pregnant and is going to marry the father.

Sarah and husband Todd Palin released this statement via the John McCain campaign:

“We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us. Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.”

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. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi’s privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates.”

Reuters news service, which first reported the news, says this news is “intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for [Bristol].” Trig was born this past April with Down Syndrome.

Can you imagine if Chelsea Clinton, a Stanford graduate, with a masters from Oxford University in international relations, were to get pregnant out of wedlock, can you imagine the blistering from the right wing?!?!

Such hypocrites.

This has nothing to do with a crazy, little-known blog and it’s wacko ideas. This is the reality — you have a candidate chosen to pander to fundamentalists, and racists who just wanted a woman. Now, you reap what you sow.

OK, so Trig was Sarah Palin’s baby. I must say, it was weird, her flying 8 hours back to Alaska and driving 45 minutes to her doctor AFTER her waters had broke when you are 44 years old and this being a high risk pregnancy because of her age.

As for abstinence only for teenagers and no birth control?

It doesn’t work.

BTW, remind me again What people said about Lynne Spears when Jamie got pregnant at 16??

THE ONLY THING MISSING NOW IS HER SON COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET AS GAY!!!

Liberals are so judgmental. It is truly reprehensible to delight in other people’s children’s misfortunes. How exactly does a parent “allow” or not “allow” their 17 year old to get pregnant? I guess an abortion would just make everything so much easier. But the harder path shows their character.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You know, I’m pro choice but I myself will probably never choose abortion. It would personally destroy me.

But between abstinence and abortion there is such a thing called BIRTH CONTROL. The pill which changed the world. There is such a thing called sex education which doesn’t begin and end with the message “DON’T HAVE SEX”.

when you leave Birth Control out of the equation you are basically asking teenagers, at their biologically most horny age to refrain from doing something MOTHER Nature and God had designed teenagers to do - go forth and multiply.

But presumably God allows birth control beyond abstinence just as God allows conception in a test tube. God is Beyond Great and we should never put God in the strait jacket of human expectations. To do so would be a sin.

This is a common everyday occurence. I wonder how many of you pointing the finger have yourselves or have others in your own family , friends, or neighbors who went out and had an abortion. That is what everyone should be p’d off about.

OBAMA SAYS PALIN’S FAMILY IS OFF LIMITS.
NOTE: OBAMA’S MOM WAS 18 WHEN SHE GAVE BIRTH TO BARACK

MONROE, Michigan (CNN) — Sen. Barack Obama said firmly that families are off-limits in the campaign for president, reacting to news that GOP running mate Sarah Palin’s 17-year-old daughter is pregnant.

“Let me be as clear as possible,” Obama said. “I think people’s families are off-limits, and people’s children are especially off-limits. This shouldn’t be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin’s performance as governor or her potential performance as a vice president.”

Obama said reporters should “back off these kinds of stories” and noted that he was born to an 18-year-old mother.

“How a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn’t be the topic of our politics, and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that’s off-limits.”

MCCAiN iS A ****** FOOL FOR CHOOSiNG A DUMB ***** TO BE VP.

ITS dosent matter smith. this article aint about obama’s momma

They chose LIFE and that is what counts, they did not take the easy way out! I admire them for that.

MCCAIN PALIN 2008!

This site contains incriminating evidence that suggests that Bristol is the mother. It includes captions with her boyfriend’s sister holding the baby, etc.

In Wasilla, Pregnancy Was No Secret

That’s about the only thing that I didn’t know about Bristol Palin’s pregnancy. The rest of the details I picked up almost without trying, while talking about other things with townsfolk — some who know the governor and her family well, some who don’t. It was, more or less, an open secret. And everyone was saying the same thing: the governor’s 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, the father is her boyfriend, and it’s really nobody’s business beyond that.

I was looking at some photos from the conferance and there is definitely a connection with Bristol & Trig. She is holding Trig as a mother would hold her new baby and Sarah holds him with total disconnect.

Also, I am beginning to believe that this baby do not have downs syndrom. In all the photos the baby is facing away from the camera and from looking at him he seems normal. Could the DS story be a cover to make it more believable that she gave birth to the child because of her age???

I think she needs to come clean or resign. I am just waiting for the mysterious the baby was miscarried or died in the womb story to finish out the finally.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maybe the Down’s Syndrome story is because the Father is a Native American or part-native.

It is horrible the way that Obama’s supporters are attacking this young girl. I have many friends that this has also happened to and they chose to support and love their daughter/sons. This happens to many families across the USA . Perez Hilton on his blog was calling this girl a ***** and ****. Of all people to be judgmental someone who has probably been promiscious and with many partners since he was probably 11. Mr. Hilton should know what hatred and prejudice are all about since he is gay, but why is he now preaching the thing he most speaks against towards the Palin family?

BAD mother!!! @ 09/01/2008 at 8:36 pm

For someone who espouses “family-values” Sarah Palin, was reckless with her newborn by flying in labor, not seeking immediate medical attention while leaking amniotic fluid and leaving him to go back to work three days after his birth. Than she accepts the VP nom. after her teen daughter confides in her she’s pregnant. Palin knew full well the kind of media scrutiny her daughter would be subjected to, I’ve read at least a dozens posts here calling Bristol a s-l-u-t. I think a mother who put her kids first would have said thanks but no thanks to the nom. SHe’s young (44) if she is really ambitious she coulda waited till 2012 to put herself in the national political arena. BUT NO! Shes power hungry and would subject her kids to this, wonder what she’d do to your kids, if she got to the oval office. *shudder*.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I hesitate to call anyone a bad mother even with the FACTS which you laid out.

However, I agree with your opinion that Sarah Palin is very ambitious to accept the VP role when she has young children, including a SPECIAL NEEDS baby who is only 4 months old, a teenage daughter who is obviously in need of significantly MORE guidance then what her mother has time to give her.

When you become a mother you make choices. Many of us have to work for financial reasons. However, many many women choose to work part time, or choose to go on the MOMMY TRACK, thereby sacrificing our careers so that we can give our families the TIME. I know of many women who gave up jobs which their talents could take them just because, it required too much travel and time away from the family. Sarah Palin, if she becomes a VP will have to travel almost every day.

I really question Sarah Palin’s choices and if you are a mother, with 5 children, one of whom is a troubled teenager, one of whom is a 4 months old special needs baby, you must do the same, whatever your political persuasion.

Sure, you can say, Sarah Palin has a husband who would be Mr Mom. Perhaps that is true. But there are some things, even Mr Mom’s can’t do. They can’t breast feed and they can’t always talk to teenage daughters.

I was just watching a cable newshow where it said that there were possibly people from McCain’s camp in Alaska doing further vetting of this woman. Isn’t that something he should have done thoroughly before nominating her? This has more twists and turns than a soap Opera. Next thing you know they’ll be on the Maury Povich show trying to find out who the daddy is.

I agree that we shouldn’t attack the children.

However, please make a distinction between attacking Bristol for getting pregnant and attacking Sarah Palin and Todd Palin for the way they raise their family and the way they are handling their family and how it reflects upon them.

Bristol is in effect, still a child. She is a minor. She isn’t fully responsible for her actions especially if she is not fully educated about how to prevent a pregnancy.

Sarah and Todd Palin are adults. They chose to take up the nomination for VP. They chose NOT to educate their daughter on Birth Control. They chose the way they raise their daughter. Sarah chose to fly back to Alaska to have Trig. She chose to go back tow work within 3 days of having a special needs baby. If you were NOT A republican, if you were to encounter this in an ordinary woman, would you not say that some of her choices SUCKED? Would you not query the WISDOM of a woman who chose an ambitious job, which required her to fly all over the US when she had just delivered a special needs baby? Would you not say, hey, she needs to slow down just a little bit and spend some time bonding with her youngest child.

Should Sarah and Todd’s parenting skills be scrutinised?? Should Sarah’s choices not be scrutinised as a REFLECTION OF HER TRUE VALUES?

ABSOLUTELY YES.

I think Sarah Palin’s baby isr really her OLDEST SON’S Baby. I think he had a kid outb of wedlock and when the girl found out it was downs Syndrome she wanted an abortion but Sarah agreed to take the kid if she would carry it to trem. So the baby IS her grandchild, but it is from her son’s baby momma. That is why he is getting ready to go to the war. Out of sight, out of mind. These people are terrible role models. What a bunch of hypocrites. They talk about family values, and judge other people. They use their kids to promote this fake image and then they are mjust trashy. I bet if this was Obama’s 17 year old daughter they would be frying him and Michelle. That Sarah Palin needs to take her butt back to Alaska and practice what she preaches. She’s got opinions about what other people should do, she needs to go home.

You retards Obama’s camp has nothing to do with this, they are far too intelligent to scoop to the level of the Mccrazies and the neo cons!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This woman can not be trusted shows you the bad judgement on mccrazy , he will do anything to win this woman is not qualified to run a whole country let alone foreign policy, in this world today. WTF was he thinking , win at all costs to satisfy a few neo cons, most replblicans are moderates and not crazy like Hannity o riley rush, these men are tools and get paid a good amount of money to promote the neo con agenda, wake up America!!!!! Retards, they are laughing all the way to the bank while scaring you right wingers shitless,Wake up dummies!!!!! God forbid mccrazy wins and croaks this woman is nuts now imagine when she goes through menopause she will push that button and we will all ************. At least Hillary went past all the craziness with the menopause and don’t call me sexist i’m a woman who has fam’ members and friends who went through hell after menopause so don’t berate me fools all women know about this **** and how crazy some women get i see Palin going nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

XX’s post #286 has thrown me for a loop!
Why would a busy Governor bring her newborn baby round to her daughters boyfriend’s to meet the his sister?

Sarah I admire your courage. However, this VP job is way beyond what you can handle at this time. Why don’t you raise your children first, specifically your last born? You are still young…and can always run for presidency even ten years from now. If family values really matter to you…your children need you at this time.

Is this election real?
Look Dem and Repubs, leave Gov. Palin’s daughter and her fiance out of it.
We have enough to sort through without this girl’s private life.
Dems. Obama and Biden
Repubs. McCain and Palin
lets bring on the debates. Let us citizens research and study the issues.
Facts or surprises I should say, unbelievable, but true
Hurricane Gustav took the sail out of McCain and Palin as quickly as they gained some interest with their big story. Their convention is shortened. Palin is someone no one knows. Obama did not select Clinton. Biden is well know. Whew!

Republicans are saying Obama is behind this, because they are IDIOTS and are trying to pass of McCains serious lapse in judgement as a smear campaign.
The liberals didn’t “cook this up” it was circulating around AK since Trig was born, anybody with internet could have found it.
Y’all are just mad becuase McCain is shown for what he is- a poor judge of character and a sellout to the fundies. Shoulda stuck to your guns MAC and gone with Libermann, but your fundie backers don’t like his pro-choice stance and Jewish last name.

Before the libs start celebrating about a new scandal, they should know that the conservatives are rallying for the Palins. They are glad that Bristol is taking responsibility and so is the baby daddy.

Just to show you how people in Alaska are taking it, here is a link:
