It is commendable that Bristol will be taking responsibility for the situation that she is in; however, is the father of the child willing to take responsibility and marry her or is he being forced and pressured into this union? This is interesting, in light of the Governor’s alleged brute force tactics with the ex-husband of her sister. Someone should tract how long this marriage will last…
Further, it is the height of hypocrisy for the social conservatives to be so thrilled with this anti abortion VP nominee but gloss over the fact that her daughter is pregnant - at 17 years of age and is unmarried. What did Jesus say about premarital sex? It is a downright sin is what the Christian right will say...I wonder at their reaction now? How will they "spin" this? Who can they blame…the liberal media?
The beauty of the liberal view is that government has no place in legislating morality or the sex lives of individuals or the choices that people make with their bodies! However, the conservative view is opposed to this notion of liberty and as such, vehemently opposes liberal policies like abortion. The reality is that most of these very conservative people are having sex and having abortions and are enjoying having sex!!! If they are not, how do we end up with young women pregnant at 17, even when their parents are so socially in tune with the virtuous values of the right? Who are the numerous people who are accessing abortion services? Are the liberal leaning citizens the only ones who fall into this category? I think not!!!
It is just the bigotry that surrounds the conservative view on these issues that is appalling....
