Speaking of New Mommy Bristol Palin...

This just came down the pike as I was sending the last post...

Sarah Palin's daughter warns against teenage pregnancy

In a statement issued by the family, Bristol said she "obviously discourages" teen pregnancy and understood her previous plans had now been changed forever.

"Teenagers need to prevent pregnancy to begin with – this isn't ideal," she said.

"But I'm fortunate to have a supportive family which is dealing with this together. Tripp is so perfectly precious; we love him with all our hearts. I can't imagine life without him now."


Hm. Now it occurs to those two crazy kids that maybe unprotected sex wasn't such a hot idea.

Better late than never, I suppose.

I have to preface this next statement by adding that I have in fact no idea what sort of sex ed Bristol and new daddy Levi got in their respective homes and/or their schools (or lack thereof), so I'm only speculating.

However...

In light of the fact that for most of the neo-cons and Holy Terrors out there, premarital sex is just bad, bad, bad, bad...

made even worse by the fact that preventing pregnancy as a rule is just bad, bad, bad, bad...

worse still by the notion that EDUCATING teens about AVOIDING unexpected pregnancies is just bad, bad, bad, bad...

Small wonder these two crazy kids had this happy little "accident"...

And I echo Bristol's sentiments in the above quote. She's lucky to have such a supportive family. Not all the girls in her situation are quite so lucky.

But again, better late than never when it comes to unexpected pregnancies, right?
