Palin's 17yr old unmarried daughter is pregnant?

[Chimichurri]

Just heard on Thom Hartmann. Anyone else catch that?

[eleny]

1. I heard it, too

Still a rumor but Thom heard it.

[book_worm]

2. Oh no! but she's keeping the baby!! that's all that counts.

[Ichingcarpenter]

3. He had a progressive journalist on from Alaska that had all

the dirt on her. He was ticking off points left and right on her incompetency.

[Barack_America]

And Mika was wondering "How does she do it?", being a career woman and a mom...

Looks like the answer to that is quite simple, she just scraped off the "mom" bit.

[Kool Kitty]

26. Ah, Mika-

the very example of a low-information voter.

[Kool Kitty]

27. Self-delete. Dupe.

4. Hey! Hey! Not Much To Do In Alaska.......nt

8. that doesn't make her a slut.

[smiley_glad_hands]

10. That comment is so not cool.

[prolesunited]

13. Umm, I was unmarried and pregnant

Want to call me a slut to my face?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. idiot. nt

[Chimichurri]

17. I wouldn't say that but, if true, there's the proof that abstinence only

does not work.

Now her daughter won't have the ability to make a choice for herself based on her mother's values.

[ampad]

18. I guess I was an older slut

I got pregnant at 19, STFU!

[Kool Kitty]

31. I did, too.

[ampad]

36. I admit

I was stupid and it could of been avoided. Unfortunately I didn't have the best parents or the best role models growing up; it is what it is.

[Kool Kitty]

38. Hey, I had "great" role models,

it still happened to me. All you need is one unguarded moment. (Of course, my "great" role models tossed me out of the house.)

[redqueen]

19. You ought to be ashamed. You should apologize for that crap. (nt)

[Left Is Write]

22. Edited, because I'd like to behave better than a simple "fuck off."

Your comment is grossly insulting and has no place on this progressive board. No place at all.

[LibraLiz1973]

24. She's NOT a slut

Very, very inappropriate comment there.

[roguevalley]

35. she's a girl with a fundy mom who didn't give her enough attention

and instruction about life.

[LeftishBrit]

28. Wow.

So every pregnant teenager is 'a slut' - very progressive of you!

[redqueen]

6. There goes the fundie vote.

:rofl:

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

7. Rut-Row....fundies don't like that

[truthisfreedom]

9. Is she showing a bit in this picture?

[Fleshdancer]

11. THAT'S who Palin reminds me of: Lynn Spears!

and wasn't Jaimie Lynn only 17 when she had her baby?

[K8-EEE]

32. OMG you're right!!

LOL!

[B2G]

12. It's getting a tad ugly in here

Time for me to log off.

Ta.

14. Is that the one that's going to have to play surrogate mom to the tiny baby?

The one holding the infant at the rally?

While Palin was talking I was watching her older daughter and wondering whether she would grow up resenting her mother for forcing her to take the role of mom to the younger kids. If she's pregnant, I guess there are other, bigger issues affecting the family.

[rucky]

15. I'm starting to think they brought Palin on to make abortion the wedge issue.

[Doremus]

21. Let them try. I rather doubt it will work this time.

No matter how strongly the pro-lifers feel about abortion, they're having the same trouble we are paying the house note, health insurance and car payment.

At the least, I think the knee-jerk response is out; they're going to think twice this time.

[Ganja Ninja]

30. Yup. I was at a store when the announcement was made and

overheard some right winger going on about how she had a downs syndrome child rather than abort it. He seemed pleased as punch with the (Palin VP) choice.

I guess with the record the GOP has over the last 8 years they have to find something, anything to run on besides their record.

[tridim]

34. Hey women, vote for me and Gramps so we can take away your right to choose!

Awesome!

[democrat2thecore]

20. Obama addressed this very thing last night: "Can't we agree we need ro reduce teenage pregnancies?"

[Left Is Write]

25. I think he said "unwanted," not "teenage."

[democrat2thecore]

29. You know - you're absolutely right

I wonder if this pregnancy is "wanted?"

[vaberella]

23. Oh jeez. Teen pregnancy run amok. n/t

[corkhead]

33. Maybe McSame is the father.... Just like in the movie Rosemary's Baby

[B2G]

37. People! Its a RUMOR!

<sigh>

[izzybeans]

39. So?

Why go there? She's a young girl who made the same choices nearly all of us did.

[kwolf68]

40. None of our business

No concern. It's not an issue, it's a private affair.
