Pregnant Teen Bristol Palin - Photos

Posted by Sassy Smith

 

 

The 17-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin, Bristol, is pregnant - for real this time.  She's being dubbed the 'Jamie Lynn Spears' of the political world,now that her mom has been chosen for John McCain's running mate.  McCain said he was aware of the situation when he decided to choose Palin and obviously Palin herself knew about her daughter's pregnancy, so are they unfairly putting Bristol in the spotlight during this difficult time?

More photos after the jump!

Having a baby as a teen is not easy, even with supportive family to help you through it.  Should Sarah have declined McCain's offer because her daughter is going through a pregnancy and thus putting her daughter out there, in the public eye, or does it matter?

Will any of this hurt their campaign or will anyone really not care that much?  I mean, teens get pregnant all the time, we all make errors in judgement from time to time.  Not many have to go through it in the spotlight, however.

And two kids birthed inside nine months as well? This is cruel and heartless.

And 16 weeks postpartum leaves you capable of making decisions on a global scale?  Not in my reality, that's for damn sure!

I AGREE. COME ON SERIOUSLY. THOUGH I'M A DEMOCRAT THAT WASN'T INTENDING ON VOTING REPUBLICAN ANYWAY, I'M A MOM AND A SINGLE ONE AT THAT. I WAS FAR FROM 17 WHEN I HAD MY SON, HOWEVER, IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST AND ITS GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE....DON'T THROW STONES. DIG INTO YOUR OWN FAMILY AND SEE WHAT YOU HAVE THERE. POSSIBLY WORSE THAN YOUNG, SINGLE MOTHERS. LET GOD JUDGE AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD. THAN I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU!

I think the kids should be off limits.....they didn't choose for their parent(s) to be in the spot light...its not like Bristol will be in the White House.....

On the other hand...why so many discrepicies and lies.....do we really want this woman in a position of power....and why is Bristol always holding Trig....why isn't the Palin's husband....the father (?) holding his son......??

It all feels like McCain is getting a little desperate.  He succeeded in pulling the attention to his own campaign after the Democrat's very successful convention.  But does he really think that women were planning to vote for Hillary solely on the basis of her gender?

I feel for Sarah's kids.  Just like I felt for Chelsea and even the Bush twins.  This can't be any fun.

Part of the problem is that Palin subscribes to abstinence and not using birth control and she's staunchly anti-abortion. She believes that more emphasis should be placed in schools and homes to instill these beliefs. Her abstinence beliefs are obviously not working within her own household so how the hell is she going to convince the nation that it can work in our schools across the country?! I don't think that people are generally blaming Bristol here, but it's easy to question Sarah; what can she do for this nation as a vice president and possible president, because there is a real possibility that McSame won't make it through the term should he get voted in!

Go Obama!
