Bristol Palin is pregnant and all the liberal blogs and media outlets are going nuts. Such hypocrisy! They shout about the conservatives. Hmph! Kids make mistakes. I don’t know what the ratio is for teen pregnancy but I bet just as many liberal teenagers get pregnant as conservative teenagers.

Here is the statement from Todd and Sarah Palin:



I am curious that McCain would choose Sarah Palin knowing that her 17 year old daughter was pregnant. I presume they found this out in the vetting process and that Britol didn’t just go to her parents this morning and tell then she was five months pregnant.

I don’t think it reflects much on the Palin’s family values that their daughter got pregnant. Had the story been that Bristol had an abortion then the liberals would be justified in shouting hypocrisy. Though it wouldn’t say anything about Sarah or Todd Palins character just that of their daughter who is free to have a different set of values. That said, this is a perfect example for why birth control should be easy to access for teenagers of all political persuasion, without parental permission.
