In 2006 while running for Governor of Alaska, Palin stated on the Governor's Questionnaire that "The Sex-Ed programs will not find my support." Either she's been slapped with karma or the God she's always preaching about is trying to teach her a lesson. Just two years after releasing that statement, Governor Palin had to release another, that her seventeen year old daughter, Bristol is pregnant. I find this ironic and honestly comical not just because of Palin's stance on sexual education and her abstinence only beliefs, but because just seven months after Sarah and Todd Palin were married, their eldest son Track was born...and not prematurely. Apparently shotgun weddings seem to run in the Palin family. Perhaps if Bristol had the opportunity to take a sexual education class, she and Jamie Lynn Spears wouldn't have to enroll at the same day care. Let it be known, Governor Palin, preaching about abstinence isn't going to stop kids from having sex.
What we may never know is whether or not Bristol Palin wanted to have an abortion. Her mother is completely Pro-Life. So much in fact, that she denies Alaskan rape victims the right to have an abortion. Honestly, I applaud Palin for choosing not to abort her son, Trig who was born with Down Syndrome. She had the choice. So should Bristol. So should rape victims. So should all women.
Let your voice be heard this November. VOTE!
