Breaking news! http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/01/palins-17-year-old-daughter-pregnant/ Palin's 17-year-old daughter pregnant Posted: 12:35 PM ET ST. PAUL (CNN) - Bristol Palin, the 17 year old daughter of Sarah Palin, is pregnant and will keep the baby and marry the father, a senior McCain aide confirmed to CNN Monday. McCain was aware of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy before he chose her mother for his running mate, the aide said. “Senator McCain knew this and felt in no way did it disqualify her from being vice president,” said the aide. “Families have difficulties sometimes and lucky for her she has a supportive family.” Bristol Palin, a senior in high school, is about 5 months along, in her second trimester, according to the aide. The aide said they decided to reveal this information now because of rampant Internet rumors that Sarah Palin’s four month old baby, who has Down’s Syndrome, was actually Bristol’s. “In the course of correcting that, we needed to get the truth out,” said the McCain aide. In a statement from Sarah and Todd Palin, they said they were “proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents.” They also asked the media to respect their daughter’s privacy. The McCain aide insisted a key point to keep in mind is that Bristol decided to keep the baby, a decision “supported by her parents.”
The celebratory tone of your thread is disgusting. Congrats, the liberal media and Obama supporters successfully humiliated a 17-year old girl. I hope that makes you proud. Will the zealous lust over this story move pro-abortion Obama supporters to chase this baby through the hospital? I hope not.
LOL, this is a completely different story and you know it. It definitely deserves it's own thread. I'm sure the religious right is going to love a teen pregnancy. The liberal media didn't impregnate the daughter of a vice presidential candidate.
You are aware that Obama was the result of a teen pregnancy, right? Oh who am I kidding, there is no way you are aware of that -- that's giving you far too much credit.
I really didn't see any of the "liberal" press pushing this story. It seems like it's more national enquier than anything else. In any case, this is a non-story as far as I am concerned.
Whatever! The character, family values, and motherhood of Sarah Palin was an issue put on the table by John McCain the very minute he announced her candidacy. This is a legitimate issue in the campaign. You can't POW your way out of this pickle.
I don't expect the religious right to vote for Obama. Palin was specifically chosen to garner that vote with her pro-life crap, etc. Good luck with that! TTB
Even if McCain made no mention of that, this rumor would still have come up and that's sad. But spare me all this "it proves the liberal press is slime" nonsense. Sensationalism is party-neutral.
Kudos to Sarah Palin for rebutting the selacious rumors about Trig not being her son. When will Obama come clean on Michelle's racist rant, his own anti-American rant while in Africa, and his faked certificate of live birth? When will Obama admit that he traveled to Pakistan with an Indonesian passport? When will he admit that he worked closely with terrorist Bill Ayers on the Chicago Annenburg project? You libs sure you want to go this negative?
Because Obama and the liberals politicize this and are trying to humiliate a 17-year old girl and her mother.
This post is the online equivalent of peeing your pants. Admit it Jorge, you're scared and angry. Besides, your side went negative LONG ago. Talk about a meaningless threat. Sarah Palin couldn't lead Alaska, couldn't lead Wasilla, and she couldn't lead her family. How can she be trusted to be a heartbeat away from leading this country?!?
According to the Supreme Court, five months is too late for a legal abortion. What is should be an example of is the utter futility of trying to promote abstinence as the option to freedom of choice. To wit, if a good God fearing, executive qualified, mother like Sarah Palin cannot convince her own child not to have unprotected pre-marital sex, perhaps several methods of birth control should be left as available options for a family, their doctor and their clergy.
