Factor,

Your post is so remarkably devoid of knowledge I felt it necessary to respond.

How can you say with any sort of certainty that Bristol Palin was engaging in unprotected sex? Were you there? Do you have, dare I say it, intimate knowledge of the time Brisol spent with Levi?

You’ve got some nerve to make such judgments and assumptions about people you know nothing about.

Since you like to post statistics, why don’t you post the effectiveness statistics for various forms of birth control versus the effectiveness of abstinence.

Abstinence works every time it’s tried.

Lost Cause,

What an appropriate moniker.

By the way, nice shoes.

Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor.

Sarah is simply typical Republican!

#38, the odds of a woman 25 and under having a baby with Downs Syndrome is 1 in 1400. The odds of a woman 40 and older increase to 1 in 100.

Really, it is her business what she does in her spare time and it shouldn’t be our business what her family does. Yes, the cognitive dissonance of the “Republican family” is quite evident in the multiple failures… in her having to “decide” to keep the baby (no decision needs to be made if you are staunchly anti-abortion), her daughter having unprotected sex at an early age (perhaps she benefited from abstinence-only education?).

If you have teenage daughters you can talk to them about all of the types of birth control in the world and that will not keep them from getting pregnant. Sarah Palin did not ‘LET’ her daughter get pregnant. I doubt if she was with her daughter when she got pregnant. If she was that would be a another story. Bristol is not the first teenager to get pregnant, nor will she be the last. It is great that her family is standing by her and a shame that what would normally be a private family event is plastered all over the news.

What’s a MOBY?

:: Hangs head…answers sheepishly ::

A Moby is a troll.

Your screen name is a new one and with the massive infestation of new names we’ve had since Friday I’m afraid I may have sprung to an incorrect conclusion about you.

He wasn’t really clear to my mind.

What’s a MOBY?

Perhaps you can clarify your position for me AW.

If you feel, as I do, that every baby is a blessing and a gift from God, then why do you scold Scott for those same views?

Sorry Aye C- The only Moby I know is Dick.
I don’t see how I have contra”dicked”ed myself on my post.
Enlighten me.

Thanks

Look everyone, another Moby!

We’ve had so many here the last couple of days, it’s almost looks like someone kicked the top off of an ant hill.

AW seems confused though.

She contradicts herself in her post.

I do hope that she will come back and clarify it for us.

I really, really do.

Just like I hope Sky55110 / Real American Patriot will come back and talk to us some more too.

Scott Malensek said:
This REALLY takes abortion off the debate topic list. Sarah kept her baby knowing it would have Downs Syrndome. Now her daughter is keeping her baby despite her youth. I believe Sen Obama had an interesting, opposite acceptance of his girls having a baby, IS A PUNISHMENT!!!!!!!

And then had the “Audacity”- if you will pardon the pun- to upload Obama’s statements about his belief that he wouldn’t want HIS daughters “PUNISHED with a baby.”

First of all Scott, a baby is a blessing and a gift from God.
Second- you are a man and have NO IDEA what a woman- or GIRL- has to go through with a pregnancy. Or raising a child.

Until you change the universe and grow a uteris, you have no right to make a judgement like this.

In Alaska, the 18 yr old father of Palin’s baby is clear of statutory rape charges on by a whisker - it’s statutory rape to have sex with someone under 17, but you get a pass if the age differenc is less than three years.

Wrong, Alaska law states the age of consent is 16. What the law states in Idaho has no bearing on anything. They didn't live in Idaho, and there is no Federal law that overrides the state laws on this subject.

In my browser, it does scroll off the bottom.

Use a browser other then IE6, this theme has a problem with that browser or click the theme changer on the sidebar and use classic or default.

First, nice design for this blog page, much better than the bland format seen elsewhere. Maybe it will keep a few trolls off. In my browser, it does scroll off the bottom.
I have a few random obzervations and comments:
“Probably over half of the people on this board parents were knocked up before they were born” — wow, this is a pretty happening bunch! —
— No one I know has parents who delivered less than 9 months after marriage, but then again they are all over 60 now, it was a different era.
Ways to look at this. Outside the blogosphere, many people are going to think ” The Palins sound like a lot of folks”. But how should this behaviour be treated? One way is by the same standards applied by similar believers to others. In Alaska, the 18 yr old father of Palin’s baby is clear of statutory rape charges on by a whisker – it’s statutory rape to have sex with someone under 17, but you get a pass if the age differenc is less than three years. Sort of Clintonian, saying essentially “it’s a crime to have sex with your neighbor’s wife, unless they live so close it’s convenient” — BC would be OK with that .
So back to topic. In Alaska the boy is (just) clear of the law, but in 11 states he’d be a sex offender. Given that Palin runs on a platform espousing strict views on this matter, and to a lesser extent that she’s looking to be VP (and maybe President) of all 50 states, the more conservative standard should apply. Age of consent in Idaho, for example, is 18 so let’s go with that. This business started when Bristol was 16, so the guy (and possibly Bristol) are sex offenders. Let’s spare them jail time, but they both will have to register as sex offenders likely to do it again (teens are just slighly more randy than, say, their parents). Heck, the teen football player in Georgia was sent to jail and there wasn’t even a pregnancy involved (last name was Wilson, first name escapes me). I didn’t hear Dobson et al asking to overturn the conviction.
So let’s hold off the usual special treatment for celebrities and the well connected. We can still vote for McCain/Palin, and they will have a small bit of experience of what it’s like to be Joe Average.

Edit: I should have said “16″ regarding Alaska’s age of consent. To be clear: legally, the guy is in the clear. My point is that conservatives should live by conservative laws, while the Alaska law has a little Clintonian influence.

(pradon any typos, I can’t see what I’m typing).

frogcatcher912: “The risk of giving birth to a baby with Down’s Syndrome is extremely high in women over 40 (and even higher when the father is also over 40).”

Nice. That’s just another false line of attack from those who would like top portray her as a “bad mother”. While the incidence of Down Syndrome does increase after age 40, it is by no means “extremely high.” I have done no research on this beyond following your own link, but the “extemely high” incidence rate you seem to think should have kept Gov Palin from having a child is stated as 60 in 10,000 or 0.6%. Perhaps a few women over 40 would like to chime in here…

I’m amazed that after first defending psychopathic State Troopers who abuse their wives and families Dems are now suggesting that women should stay home and raise the children. Will we now see another category of Americans announced on the Obama web site: “Barefoot and pregnant for Obama?”

Father of Bristol Palin’s Baby:

Bristol Palin’s pregnancy was an open secret back home

He’s a superhunky bad-boy ice hockey player from cold country; she’s a chestnut-haired beauty and popular high school senior.

The all-American teen twosome will make GOP vice presidential pick and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin a grandma at age 44 – just in time for Christmas.

Doe-eyed Bristol Palin, 17, and ruggedly handsome Levi Johnston, an 18-year-old self-described “f—in’ redneck,” have been dating a year, locals in Wasilla, Alaska, told the Daily News.

And the pregnancy? An open secret in the close-knit town of 9,780.

Bristol Palin, now a senior, was frequently seen cheering her young beau from the stands. Levi is also a senior.

P.S. I like this “Evil Otto” guy. He nails Fit Fit and the other lefty loons in one phrase or less! That’s got to be a record.
