Your name should be heartLESS.
Please google “Candies shoe ads” (do NOT do this at work) and tell me if you think those people have any interest whatsoever in promoting teen abstinence. They are laughing themselves silly in the boardroom.
Please consider Hollywood and tell me if you think there are many people there who have any interest whatsoever in the good of one of Sarah Palin’s children.
They have taken this interest in Bristol Palin exactly because she did have a baby before she was married. To them, she represents an embarrassment to the Palin family and the conservative movement and Christian teaching. They give her exposure exactly because she embodies what I call a contradiction and some see as hypocrisy.
She did drop the Hollywood locale for a reality show, which was wise. There are many people who would like to see her fall into the party life and get chewed up by it.
There’s nothing heartless in wanting her to live at home with her parents’ guidance. She is still very young, my older daughter’s age. There’s nothing heartless in not wanting other girls to be shown a glamorization of unwed motherhood - and to far too many of them, any sort of fame, any television appearance, IS glamorous and would be the apogee of their lives, no matter what she says. No matter if her son throws up on her and she’s sick herself, or he has a tantrum in the store, or she gets no sleep or she has no time to date. She’s famous and that’s what matters.
