Isn’t it ironic that the Democratic Party is the one upset most about Sarah Palin’s 17-year old daughter being pregnant (she’ll be 18 in October)? Isn’t this the party that promotes Women and Women’s rights the most? Over 55% of the Democratic Party is Women. This is the party that supports a Woman’s right to choose. This is the party that says Women CAN juggle work and family successfully. This is the party that says Women don’t have to be married to raise a family. This is the party that demands equal pay for Women. Would these pro-choice Democrats prefer that she had an abortion a few months ago or wait a couple of more months to jam a tube in its head during birth and suck its brains out? Militant Pro-choicers do tend to forget that LIFE is one of the choices.
Are they saying that Sarah Palin is a bad parent because she couldn’t manage to control a teenage girl 100% of the time? Even parents who are home all the time become pre-mature grandparents. Are they aware there’s are over 750,000 pregnant teenagers in America right now? Are they ALL the product of bad parenting? Are these teenagers not responsible at all for their own actions? With parents, schools, and even TV shows promoting safe sex is it really safe to assume there’s even one pregnant teenage girl who had absolutely no idea pregnancy was possible?
To insinuate she’s a bad parent because of her daughter’s personal actions is irresponsible. I’m sure when Ted Bundy got into the University of Washington his friends and family congratulated his parents for doing such a good job of raising this intelligent well-behaved young man. At what point did THEY become bad parents? Teenagers are going to be teenagers. All a parent can do is teach them what they can. If a teenager chooses to ignore the warnings then that’s not the parents fault. That’s where personal responsibility comes into play.
