OlderBristol 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.

I feel bad fr the daughter to get dragged into all of this. I think it’s best for Palin to withdraw.
Ha! This family is a joke! What is wrong with the mother, having kid after kid, most recently, a child in April, while her 17-year old is getting knocked up also?? Something isn’t right there!
You don’t have to be pro-abortion to believe in contraception! Condoms, people, condoms……

This news just secured every vote of PRO-LIFE voters!
I think the true face of Obama and his fanatic supporters is starting to show. Attacking a mother/child bond is not exactly going to help their campaign, and focusing on something as trivial as a personal pregnancy issue when there are far more important things going on in our country is …..well, just plain stupid.
I mean really, smear her for some issue you oppose her on BUT THIS???!! Furthermore, before all the “but she lied” cr*p starts (which personally I think Sarah IS Trig’s biological mother) please don’t forget that it is basically in the genetic makeup for a politician to lie….
OBAMA IS NOT GOD people, he is just more adept at hiding his skeletons.
I think that this was something that they are dealing with as a family. I don’t think Sarah needed to tell everyone about the pregnancy. Parents don’t hold press conferences about there teens pregnancies.
But the rumors about the baby being Bristol’s that’s just wrong. But now I know why she was holding the baby(to cover the baby bump). Big deal about her being 17. Most teen pregnancies are around 16+ in America anyways. Wake up America she choose life! The real pressure is on the baby’s father, he better marry this girl out of love not out of guilt. You don’t marry someone just because your going to have a baby together, you marry because you want to. You can have a baby together and show the baby love without marriage as well.
I had my first child at the ripe old age of 18. I didn’t marry the father until 3 years later. But when the time is right that’s when you do it. CT LOVES YOU PALIN FAMILY, JUST DON’T LIE TO US. We are mothers or we are teens, we can be very understanding if your honest.
FISHY!!! if the girl is really pregnant its probably her second, and that pic that is suppose to refute is so not from 2006, the little kids did not grow in 2 years? give me a ******* break! I pity the fools!!
Nice! Interesting. Well, guess what? This doesn’t help them with pro-lifers all THAT much because at least some % of them are going to be appalled that her teen daughter is unmarried and pregnant and was hiding it in the first place.
Second of all, she’s “five months pregnant” and due in “late December.” If true, the other rumors are false!
But if she delivers “prematurely” by a month or two, who’s to say good ol’ Bristol didn’t have that other baby and get pregnant again???
So far, so good.
Hopefully, the media will keep looking into that mysterious birthing pattern.
Again another example of America not facing the facts that teen are having sex. We need to discuss with our children the consequences of sex, and provide them with protection. We in this society want children to act like adults, want to give them so much freedom, want to be their best friends instead of their parents. I hope society opens it’s eyes, and realize that our children are dumb when it comes to sex, and what can result from it. The Palins are lucky in a way that all she got was pregnant. She could have had AIDS> NOW this so call joy about her getting married and raising a family when she can’t raise herself. I hate that the statement makes it sound so Fairy tale. Most teen girls are not given the choice of marriage, The boys walks away and the girl is left to raise the child on her own, or like so often the grandparent(s) are raising the children. I see this scenario everyday in my job. I know that the conservative line is keep the baby and get married. But a 17 year old is too young. She is lucky that her parents and probably the boys will help out. But for most girls in this society that is not the real world. She will not become and example of how easy life can be when you are pregnant. Remember Jamie Lynn.
I’m still curious about the other child Trig. Who is the real parent, and what is the real deal. I see a lot of drama on the horizon for Mrs. Palin. John McCain should have done his homework. I wonder if he knew this when he picked her. I won’t be surprised if she backs off the ticket. Time will tell. Al truths come to the surface eventually. Keep your seat belts on, This is looking like a bumpy ride ahead.
Although a very common and accepted issue in this country, teen pregnancy is still a very touchy subject.
Of course she is going to come out and say it, if not, the media would eat them up.
saying that she feels blessed is simply a pro-life statement. The fact that she is not fetile, and can have children is a blessing, but in my opinion, having a child at 17yrs old, is not a blessing, it’s a responsibility.
When your seventeen year old daughter is having unprotected sex, causing her to have a baby when she is still technically a child, there is a bit of a communication problem between parent and child.
Sorry Sheryl, those pictures don’t debunk anything for me. If she’s noticeably pregnant in February 2008 but NO ONE in her office knew she was pregnant when she announced her pregnancy in March 2008, not even noticed her belly big, SOMETHING ISN’T RIGHT.
Again if the rumor isn’t true, so be it. Now she has to answer for ALL of the neglectful things she’s done while pregnant with Trig. Either way, McCain needs to pick another VP.
so much for the republican’s continuos scream of ‘family values’
Hilarious. I am laughing at all the Holier than thou comments…How Palin should withdraw blah blah…It never ceases to amaze me that the very people who think today’s world is so behind the times in America and now they think because her daughter is preg the woman is no good. I tell ya…this is so humorous and so ridiculous…Obama’s mama was a young White woman who became pregnant by a Kenyan who wanted nothing to do with them….Should he withdraw? HAHAH!
Family values, for those uninformed, is a family sticking together when times are tough. That’s what this family is doing. As soon as this woman become the VP nomination the dirt, orchestrated by the liberal media, began.
I’d like to see the attempt made to poke around and really report the skeltons in the Obamas closests. Racism would be called any everything dropped.
But when it comes to sexism against Hillary or Sarah, no one says a word.
That’s why the most unprepared guy will become president and then the problems will begin.
If you’re going to argue that all rumors about conservative candidates are circulated by Obama then the same can be said about the vicious rumors regarding Obama’s religion, alliance with the Middle East, etc were circulated by McCain. The Republicans have been the ones doing the Swift Boat campaigning here.

Also Palin is against sex education in schools- and Ladies and gentlemen we all see where that gets you- BRISTOL PALIN- BLESS HER HEART.
This Palin woman is laughable. So typical: it’s always the most conservative people whos kids get knocked up at a way too young age. Palin should be ashamed of herself!
I bet like h ell they are going to get married, shot gun wedding anyone.
THE AMERICANS WANT TO VOTE FOR OBAMA AND BIDEN
BECAUSE THEY LOVE OSAMA BIN LADEN!!!!!!
LOL. OBAMA AND BIDEN SOUNDS LIKE OSAMA BIN LADEN!!
AMERICA WILL BECOME THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE REST OF THE WORLD WHEN OBAMA BIN BIDEN BECOMES THEIR LEADER!
World, look out, here comes another Jamie Lynn Spears.
As a mom, the more I think about it, the madder this makes me. Why on freakin’ earth did Sarah Palin accept the nomination and put her family in the national spotlight if she knew about this? To me, that’s child abuse - to make your child be the center of national attention at a time like this. I don’t condemn Sarah or her daughter for the pregnancy - just for putting ambition before motherhood. You can spout all the family values in the world - but returning to work 3 days after having a baby is NOTHING to be proud of. Putting your child in the national spotlight when she’s obviously pregnant and making her the center of speculation - that’s just totally WRONG.
Glad I’m a DEMOCRAT! :D
