If that is her political stance, I must conclude that it is her personal belief also. NOW, her daughter too is a statistics in the fact that no sex ed and abstinence only DOES NOT WORK!
BUT, it's all good, cause the kid is keeping her baby. Therefore, it's all GOOD!!

I would find (even more) cause not to vote for McCain & her only on those grounds. If their vision of a better America is many more girls ending up like Bristol Palin - pregnant at 17 and married because of that at that same age - then there is something very wrong. Not every 17-year-old pregnant girl has a mother with a considerable paycheck (as I guess Sarah Palin has) or a boyfriend willing to tie the knot or be there for her. With their politics they can just as soon start scraping for social benefits as a lot of people are going to need them.
Personally, I find it highly amusing that she should be preaching about abstinence, etc. while she has a walking example at home - not just a figure on paper - of something being wrong with that 'system' (or lack thereof).
