Turn against Palin for having an unmarried, pregnant daughter or praise her for raising that daughter to have enough sense to keep the baby. They have chosen the latter. I never understand what's on evangelical's minds and I won't try this time. But I wonder if this kind of news makes other "abstinence only" parents think about their standpoint.<BR/><BR/>And why does the media give one "girl" a pass and not another? Another mystery.<BR/><BR/>As for McCain, he doesn't have respect for women in general, why would he with this decision?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15732318783762041369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18981789.post-13021750079099773192008-09-02T00:21:00.000-07:002008-09-02T00:21:00.000-07:00With the news that Bristol Palin is pregnant, I ha...With the news that Bristol Palin is pregnant, I have to wonder how it affects her abstinence only sex ed plan. If she feels so strongly about abstinence only, how come her daughter got pregnant at 17 and out of wedlock? Why isn't the media jumping on this? When Jamie Lynn Spears got pregnant, it sparked debates about teenage pregnancy and the media jumped all over it. They claimed the family was "trash" and that this showed it. So why doesn't this view hold for Palin? Does she get a free pass because she's a Republican and white?<BR/>And does McCain think that women are just going to vote for him because he chose Palin as VP? If he thinks that, it is an insult that he would think that women would not look into the issues and only vote based on which ticket has a female.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
