We&#8217;re proud of Bristol&#8217;s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.<br \/>\nBristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I keep coming across comments such as <a href=\"http:\/\/thesuperficial.com\/2008\/09\/sarah_palins_17yearold_daughte.php\">these<\/a> (I quote <i>The Superficial<\/i> because it&#8217;s not as if I read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/\"><i>The Daily Kos<\/i><\/a>, or any other such stomach turning website):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I know the knee-jerk reaction will be to point out the hypocrisy of Governor Palin&#8217;s faith-based public views on supporting abstinence-only education and overturning <i>Roe v. Wade<\/i>. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So what&#8217;s hypocritical exactly? Do we know for a fact that Bristol only attended abstinence-only schools and only associated with people who attended abstinence only schools, from families with the same values? Somehow from the tone for her boyfriend, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nypost.com\/seven\/09022008\/news\/nationalnews\/palin_teen_has_baby_on_board_127096.htm\">truly doubt it<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> Johnston, 17, who is entering his senior year at Wasilla HS, plays on the school hockey team and was once teammates on a youth squad with Palin&#8217;s older brother, Track, 19, now in the Army.<br \/>\nDespite suffering a cracked bone in his shin last season, Johnston scored 24 goals in 24 games.<br \/>\n&#8220;We don&#8217;t want to talk about this,&#8221; said a woman who answered the phone at the Johnston home.<br \/>\nOn a MySpace page subsequently taken down, Johnston boasts, &#8220;I&#8217;m a f &#8211; &#8211; -in&#8217; redneck&#8221; who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes.<br \/>\n&#8220;But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s- &#8211; &#8211; and just f &#8211; &#8211; -in&#8217; chillin&#8217; I guess.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Ya f &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; with me I&#8217;ll kick [your] ass,&#8221; he added.<br \/>\nHe also claims to be &#8220;in a relationship,&#8221; but states, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want kids.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As horrible as it is to state, speaking from experience, this sounds like the same Mr. Wonderful that have been getting 17-year old girls in trouble since the advent of high school. Which is the reason <i>why<\/i> we still need abstinence-only education. Cassanova doesn&#8217;t get, if he doesn&#8217;t want kids, don&#8217;t have sex. 12 years of school, somewhere he missed that lesson. Besides is the guarantee of abstinence-only education simply that no teen will ever make a mistake again? So are we trying to claim the traditional PP sponsored sex ed programs are so effective?<br \/>\nAlso, what is hypocritical about Sarah Palin being pro-life, and her daughter keeping the baby?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jill Stanek Has excellent commentary surrounding the announcement of Bristol Palin&#8217;s pregnancy: The announcement was wonderful, in sharp contrast to Obama&#8217;s thought of his own grandchild who might be conceived in a similar situation: Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/moss-place.stblogs.org\/index.php\/2008\/09\/annoying\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Annoying<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,2,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","category-life-issues","category-the-christian-life","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/moss-place.stblogs.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2176","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/moss-place.stblogs.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/moss-place.stblogs.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moss-place.stblogs.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moss-place.stblogs.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2176"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/moss-place.stblogs.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2176\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/moss-place.stblogs.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2176"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moss-place.stblogs.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2176"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moss-place.stblogs.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
