Well, my FIRST choice would have been that she abstained, particularly considering the boy she was with. Talk about dating to disoblige the family, this is a girl who aggressively went out and did everything against what her family stood for.

Birth control would have been a distant second choice.

But happily, it all turned out well. Sarah's credibility as a parent and a leader was shot full of holes, and now she is a political pundit and her daughter is doing B-list celebrity stunts and making a name for herself on Dancing with the fricking Stars. I'm glad that you're glad.

Bristol Palin was pregnant before her mother's "opportunity" presented itself. Do you honestly believe that Sarah Palin didn't know that? Do you think she didn't weigh all the ramifications in her decision? You talk as if the whole world threw itself at Sarah's feet, and then eeeeevil no-good Bristol went out and "got herself pregnant" for the sole purpose of gaining attention. I don't know who you think you're preaching to, but it isn't FReepers. You need to stop now before you do irreparable harm to yourself here.
