Dr. James C. Dobson of Focus on the Family issued the following statement:
"In the 32-year history of Focus on the Family, we have offered prayer, counseling and resource assistance to tens of thousands of parents and children in the same situation the Palins are now facing. We have always encouraged the parents to love and support their children and always advised the girls to see their pregnancies through, even though there will of course be challenges along the way. That is what the Palins are doing, and they should be commended once again for not just talking about their pro-life and pro-family values, but living them out even in the midst of trying circumstances.
"Being a Christian does not mean you're perfect. Nor does it mean your children are perfect. But it does mean there is forgiveness and restoration when we confess our imperfections to the Lord. I've been the beneficiary of that forgiveness and restoration in my own life countless times, as I'm sure the Palins have.
"The media are already trying to spin this as evidence Gov. Palin is a 'hypocrite,' but all it really means is that she and her family are human. They are in my prayers and those of millions of Americans."

Yeah....let the media get all “caught up” on the John Edwards and his pecker drifting from his cancerous wife...to a bar fly...and then the other little matter called a bastard child who is being flown all over the world on campaign funds...after they get caught up on THAT news....I will be interested in what the Palin’s 17 year old may be doing with HER life, that at this time isn’t causing PAIN to a dying spouse, or to anyone for that matter...and isn’t having her “baby” managed by “campaign funds”.

and then the other little matter called a bastard child I take issue with that, There is no such thing as a illegitimate child, there are only illegitimate parents.

Hey Ultra! I posted this on another thread today:
Fortunately a great many true conservative voters are Christians. Few people understand what that means.
Our God is the God of second chances. Most of us are in His Grace because of His loving policy of second chances. And as Christians, we are to emulate Him. Amen!

I've only heard of Dr. James C. Dobson 2 days ago, never heard of him before, how important and who does he represent?

In all fairness... I think the father of Bristol Palin’s child probably has the most to fear. Could you imagine having Mr. Palin be angry with you?
