Remember that teen pregnancy "pledge" from just a few weeks ago?
Where a few teens at the same school got pregnant, and promised to give each other as much support as they could?

The one that had a whole shit load of people freaking out? You remember- people attacking the girls as whores. And the parents as whores. And blaming that movie "Juno." And hip hop music. And the availibility of social services, such as day care. And how girls didn't do that "back when I was a kid." And hell, that was just DUers. Conservatives must have had a shit fit.

Anyhow, you probably don't need to look back far in media archives if you want to expose any given RW pundit as a hypocrite.

1. Or even a more appropriate comparison
Jamie Lynn Spears.

unmarried teen gets pregnant by a reluctant boyfriend. Decides to keep the baby and will not be a burden by going on public assistance (has all the money she will likely need to raise a child). Moved back to her hometown to give the baby a since of normalcy.

And these same right wing blow hards simply eviscerated her for being a slut and the family values and for her setting a bad example and should be removed from public life.

2. Huckabee described the Spears situation as a tragedy
Not this one though.

3. Oh there were much worse, calls for Disney to fire her
blah blah blah... I'm sure you can google for each and every repuke talking head that now praises the Palin girl and who called Spears every evil name in the book.
