This would be a good reason why things like birth control and condoms should be used. I find it somewhat humorous that as conservative and religious she is, her daughter just goes and gets knocked up. The daughter plans to marry the dude but I’m a strong believer of not marrying someone because you have a child with them. Things are nice when you are screwing but when the baby pops up, it’s not the same. Then divorce comes it.

Of course, I’m sure in Palin’s delusional mind abortions and birth control shouldn’t exist because her family has the means to raise extra babies meanwhile the majority of the country going through hardships cannot.  Not to mention how many of us struggle just to have simple health insurance.  The Palin family can yes be “happy” because they are blessed with a choice to keep and raise a baby while many who have children and work many hours can still be left homeless and hungry.

I’m sitting here in Maine right now, visiting with my Dad. About 40 years ago, he “offered to marry my Mom” upon discovery of my impending arrival. She declined and raised me on her own.

I could share my thoughts on this topic for hours, but the vital point of my experience is that things worked out well for everyone in this situation. My Dad and I are more like good friends than the typical Father and Son scenario and I have a very unique respect for women that I don’t see in many of my male friends.
