Feb 17 2009Bristol Palin shoots down abstinence-only education

0217_bristol_palin_rnc_00.JPG

Bristol Palin, everyone's favorite unwed teenage mom (Jamie Lynn who?), sat down with FOX News last night and dropped two major bombs. Governor Palin's daughter made Rupert Murdoch's head explode by saying sexual abstinence is unrealistic and that every woman should have the right to choose. NY Daily News reports:

Stopping teen sex? Ain't gonna happen.
So says Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's 18-year-old daughter, Bristol, who told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren Monday night that the abstinence her mom preaches is "not realistic at all."
Bristol Palin, who gave birth in late December, described the rigors of being a teen mom, and while she wouldn't go into detail why it isn't realistic for guys and gals her age not to have sex, she did say it isn't smart to get knocked up.
"Everyone should wait 10 years," Palin said. "I hope people learn from my story. It's so much easier if you're married, have a house and career. It's not a situation you want to strive for."
She denied that her mother's anti-abortion views were the reason she went ahead with the pregnancy.
"It was my choice to have the baby," she said. "It doesn't matter what my mom's views are on it. It was my decision."

Jesus. Giving an interview with logical, effectively communicated answers? At this point Bristol Palin might as well have peed on the Bible then joined PETA because she's out of the family. They're probably dog-sledding her out to an igloo as we speak. Facts based on real-world scenarios. Ha! Adorable.

Good for her for somehow managing to not inherit her mother's sense of crazy.

Rawr!

Meh.
Abstinence is only realistic if you can't get some.

[ 40 P L U S S E E K I N G . C 0 M ] is really a funny and interesting place to meet 40 plus and attractive women or hot men. Many hottie photos at this site, you can enjoy latest interesting photos or talk about hot topic with other friends. I've met many thoughtful 40plus singles who were trying to find true love.

I like the Palins. And her mom is not crazy, just because you disagree with her views. If thats the case, everyones crazy cause no one person has the exact same viewpoints on everything.
BTW, Bristol has some gigantic baby feeders there, its prob very happy.

BRISTOL 4 PREZ!!!!

Something of a stretch to read Bristol saying "every woman has a right to choose" from her quote there. But, whatever advances your agenda.

She is allowed to have viewpoints that are a 180 from her Mom's.

I just like how Democrats were suddenly outraged by teen pregnancy when they found Bristol was knocked up.

Her man is a hottie

Her man is a hottie

@9
They weren't outraged. It's called irony. You know, like Larry Craig blowing men in a toilet stall. That kind of thing?

A sense a collective gasp hit the middle of the country last night.

How come Fox News isn't reporting on this bombshell?

Oh, nevermind. Their lead story right now is "Vicious Chimp Attack". Atta boys

I like how the republicans who point out when democrats are outraged about something are super pissed that Obama is the president and that he's high fiving terrorists and drinking 40's. All while their raptor riding-wolf shootin-go get um palin's daughter is high fiving terrorists and drinking 40s.

and your right her moms not crazy she just believes that a jewish zombie rode raptors and that god would make her the vice president if people prayed enough.

@12... Sure, sure.

Btw, its actually a Fox News interview being quoted, so no, they aren't ignoring the story.

Wow, who knew she is already twice as smart as her mother? At least there is one Palin who isn't a raving idiot (just a horny teenager).

Is this picture before or after she had the baby? She's fat. No wonder her mother wants nothing to do with her. Sarah is a saint and her daughter is a fat little devil. Don't worry Sarah. we'll make sure you're president in 2012 and then you can outlaw these fat little girls from getting pregnant.

#1 ... from whom did you inherit stupidity?


#12....didn't you read the story? It WAS on Fox news .... No signs of intelligence from you either.

It's amazing how little people know about a subject yet are willing to form closed minded opinions on the subject.

It's great to know that Bristol has some realistic smarts about her when it comes to teenagers today. Pleasure is an experience that one should not deny themselves.

#9: You dipshit, it's not teen pregnancy that upset the Democrats. It was the blatant hipocricy of those mouth-breathing bible-thumping "morally superior" phoneys and their idiotic family values. I could give a fuck about teen pregnancy; what bothers me is the idea of living in a theocracy run by racist cripples and beauty queens.
Well said #13.

Are all of you 12? This girl is retarded. Ain't? Wow. Just wow. I am not listening to anyone who uses the word ain't considering ain't isn't a word. She is a high school drop out and people think she is intelligent. Wow. As for abstinence not being possible as a teen? Some of the hottest girls I've met at college are still virgins. Ok then. What a backward hick. That family deserves to live in the middle of nowhere because they are retarded. For the record, I am a democrat but wanted McCain to win. So this isn't me spewing hate towards a republican family for being republican. I don't like Obama at all. He accomplished nothing as a senator and I don't believe he'll accomplish anything as a president. Also.... the stimulus bill that was just passed already has 1.6billion that has turned up missing. Great president... just awesome.

Also, Bristol the size of Tennessee Palin has the nastiest legs I've ever seen. Look like freaking trees. Sick.

#20. The "ain't" is from the Daily News article, not a quote. Who's retarded now?

Also, nice pretending to be a Democrat. Wow, nobody's ever tried that on the Internet before. Jackass.

Haha. Palin got Owned by her daughter. You can't sit there and try and push your tightassed backwards conservative rhetoric on everyone else if your own daughter throws that shit right out the window.

I suspect her dislike for abstinence only education has just as much to do with her aversion to education as her enthusiasm for penis. Thank god we didn't end up with this unwed, unemployed teenage mother freeloading in the white house.

Numerous people are discussing her on ____MillionaireLoving. C O M____. So interesting! Join us. Add your peculiar comments.

@14 and 17

No shit. What I meant is if she actually supported abstinence only, it would be fucking plastered all over their webpage this morning.

Since she spoke out about it, there's hardly any mention of it.

#20 - Link to an article explaining the missing money, there seems to be a missing article showing this to be even something thats being talked about. the only thing related to 1.6 billion and stimulus was the amount of jobs it could create.

Okay. So who really gives a shit what SHE thinks about anything?! She is obviously too stupid or imature to even USE birth control properly.

Shes looks like a shit I took this morning.

She seems pretty clear on her views on abstinence, but I'm not sure I read her comments as pro-choice. I do think she wants to make clear that she isn't just blindly doing whatever her mother orders, whether that's true or not (I have no way of knowing).

How she'll reconcile her conclusion that being a teen mom "isn't smart" with her view on teen abstinence is something I'm intrigued to see work out. Even the Pill ain't 100% effective.

Ain't it funny when people have nothing to say but comments on other people's grammar and/or spelling?

#20: "Ain't" is in the dictionary. Tard.

Yet another example of how America dodged a bullet with the McCain/Palin thing. Yikes!

It was particularly difficult for her to remain abstinent because all the teen guys wanted to close their eyes and pretend they were fucking her mom.

She speaks reasonably well and doesn't say jaw-droppingly retarded things, so clearly she takes after her dad. Trig, on the other hand, clearly takes after his mom.

You are such a tool.

As the economy recovers over the next 2 years, and Obama gets the credit even though government intervention likely will slow down the recovery, Palin will shift all of her positions to stay in the national spotlight. Her strategy is old-school for women: 1) find the guy with the most power; 2) suck his dick; 3) make other guys believe they'll get a blowjob too if they support you. Just watch, before the year's over she'll do an interview where she lists all the things "I always really liked and admired" about Obama. Zip...suck...suck...suck...suck...suck...glug.

#26 ... because it's nothing more than tabloid news ... who really cares? The press makes such a mockery of simplicity and fools get all ramped up about things that really don't matter very much.

Boo!

She didn't get an abortion because in Alaska the procedure involves dropping a walrus on the pregnant woman and crushing the baby out of her.....true story.

Hmmm,some girls learn it the hardway.Who's she anyway?

Sometime's this chick looks like such Trig.

People..people..we need to stop the political fighting. Our love of party is trumping love of country. Both parties are the same..spending us to death, taking away rights and distracting us with propaganda. All the while they increase their power and wealth. I used to be a Repub but have come to see the light. All you dems keep watching, don't be hypocrites and please stay objective. I predict we will all come together soon.

Typical American family, parents preaching all this goodie goodie shit and their daughter is a complete whore that didn't even have the good sense to make her hick boyfriend wrap it up.

I like how news about Sarah Palin and her daughter gets put on T.V. before things that you should really know. Just another tactic to stupify the American public with meaningless, unimportant news.

Oh yeah, Bristol really "owned" her mom that time. Oh wait, Bristol's the one who got knocked up at 17 and had a baby out of wedlock. Yeah, you sure showed them! You showed the WORLD! How logical and well-spoken she is! She's like some kind of superhero!

She's only saying abstinence is unrealistic because she obviously doesn't know how to keep her legs shut. Of COURSE she thinks it's unrealistic; what else is she going to say? Just because she's sexually irresponsible doesn't mean everyone else humps anything that moves without thinking. Personally I've had plenty of offers thrown my way and happily turned them all down because I'm not a complete moron and don't want to take the risk of STDs or an unintentional pregnancy. So yes, abstinence is unrealistic... if you don't have any self-control.

#46, you only know to criticize the girl, as if the guy who knocked up girls had no responsibility for the mess at all. Of course ugly girls have more self-control, because they are less desirable. Plus, you don't get pregnant because you have sex, you get pregnant because you don't know how to protect yourself during sex.

#20 jmac Do us all a favor and kill yourself now. I can't stand to listen to your whining. When Obama fucks the country up to the point where martial law is declared and ALL the "hicks" have guns and you don't, one of US is going to kill you anyway.

P.S. NONE of the "hottest chicks" at your college are virgins, they have to tell you that so you'll go back to your Star Trek convention or your video games.

#46 Teaching abstinence only - and not teaching sex ed and birth control - is unrealistic and downright stupid when idiot kids younger than 15 are having sex. While it's really nice you're so sensible, most immature adolescents don't have self control, so you better weld their pants on or educate them. Thinking that if you keep kids ignorant you'll also keep them innocent only worked for the Victorians. That concept is woefully out of date now unless you don't have a TV, phone or computer - or allow your kids outside of the compound to interact with the Godless around them.

I hate Bristol. She is a bitch. She pretty told the whole world "no i don't want my kid". i feel sorry for that kid. more than that though, she has just made every teenage mom struggling to make a life feel like an idot and set us back about 100 years. yeah. thanks bitch. if i could say something to her it would be: "unlike you Bristol some of the teen moms out there relize that life is hard with or without a child. some of us have gone on the become great people but none of us are famous and as for you wanting to "set an example" fuck off i hope my children and yours grow up to hate you. thanks for you time."

yes i am aware that i cannot spell and that i did not use correct grammar. screw it.

love,
a teen mom who voted obama!

Really nice couple!!
Have seen many beautiful couples on === Agelessmate.c o m === the place where hot cougars and sexy young men;and handsome old folks with sensual chicks meet and mingle! You may wanna check it out!LOL

She didn't say that she was pro choice (at least not in the excerpt you included). She said that it was her choice to have the baby. That means her mom didn't pressure into keeping it... she is still probably pro life.

She's right. Good for her. Teens will always have sex and no-one can stop it.
Finally someone that speaks out and does not give a damn about what the media says.

#51 Save your hatred for her obtusely ignorant mother. By reducing funds allocated for Covenant House Palin put off for several years programs and the building of a facility where teenage moms can live while completing their HS educations and get some sort of job training. She saved each taxpayer $14. Yay.

Unless they're fortunate enough to get a safety net like this, over 30% of teenage single moms live their lives below the poverty line - which usually means on welfare, aka your tax dollars at work, and that handout costs us all a shitload more than $14 a year. Since pregnancy among 15-19 year old girls is now increasing, I'd say abstinence-only isn't working too well. It's nice that Bristol's family can take care of her and her kid, but not everyone has that. When Palin's abstinence-only-no-birth-control/no-graphic-sex-education system fails, and if abortion isn't readily available, the drain of dead-end-job teenage moms and kids they choose to keep just never ends. Sarah can't do the math any more than she can give a coherent interview.

If abstinence worked we would have seen a decline in the last 6-8 since Bush made it the only allowable birth control method to be taught in school. Instead there' s been an increase in teen pregnancies that hasn't been seen in decades. Kids who are taught abstinence are more likely to not use protection when they end up actually having sex. And if you don't believe me, just do a search online.

Well, right to lifers do want kids and women having lots of sex and lots of babies. Its all about reproduction and gods will essentially.

Why the hell do people bring up Fox News in this thread? I swear, it's like their lives revolve around that news station. Seriously, grow the fuck up already. And that's the truth.

That is one lucky baby to be born into that family.

Bristol is a far better person than those people who are trashing her.

Compared to Sarah, Bristol is Shakespeare. Here's part of what Sarah babbled about in the same interview: "...I"m proud about her wanting to take on an advocacy role and, you know, just let other girls know that this is — it's not the most ideal situation, but certainly, make the most of it." Huh?

Now how come this article didn't "like" truly "like" quote her intelligent interview?
---
"It's just, like, I'm not living for myself anymore. It's, like, for another person, so it's different,"
---
Like mother like daughter. No IQ points lost in that family. Can't lose what you don't have...

She is cute though.

No trying to stop teen sex is not going to work but use some damn birth control!
If you're not able to walk into a store and get condoms or get on the pill, you have no right having sex!
It blows my mind that people have sex without a damn thing between them these days! I realize that birth control can fail.
Not just are teen pregnancy rates up, but STD's are through the roof!

Perhaps a better headline would be, "SLUT: ABSTINENCE DOESN'T WORK FOR SLUTS."

wtf is wrong with him he always looks stiff and stoned

No surprise that her views are different than her mother's. After all, it's not like her mother is at the dinner table bonding with her on a nightly basis. Politicians' kids probably see less of their parents than the average kid.

'Giving an interview with logical, effectively communicated answers? ' Ha... ha... just like umhh... read the actual interview, just like, her actual words, just like, umhh.... she's her mom's daughter all right!

"That is one lucky baby to be born into that family.

Nah, she's just a fattie teen whore. And we all know her kid is fucked.


I feel sorry for that poor lady. I saw this guy's personal ad is still available at that millionaire da*ting site "Richromances.com". What happend to this couple?

#67 Such as.
Ironic, isn't it, that the ones who are numb from the neck up are invariably the ones who breed the most?

Dude, your agenda is to further the Democrat party by slandering Bristol Palin by a) Quoting the NY Daily News (no partiality there, huh? Yeah right...) and 2) taking her comments out of context. We all know how happy you personally were when Barack Obama became the new president and how many hard-ons you had on that (now officially "fake" day of inauguration.) So just come out and say you are a Democrat and your agenda includes slandering anyone remotely affiliated with the GOP? At least that way viewers will know what they are getting themselves into when they log onto your website...

It seems you are happy together. But this guy's profile is still active at" C e l e b m i n g l e. C 0 M". You are no longer a single already. Are you looking for only pals over there?

Really nice couple!!
Have seen many beautiful couples on === InbredRepublican.c o m === the place where hot retards and sexy young creationists;and handsome old folks with inbred children meet and mingle! You may wanna check it out!LOL

Wow she should have run for office instead of her brainless mother.

What a bunch of bull. It's more than possible to NOT have teenaged sex. I never had sex as a teen, and never had the desire to do so either. That's just young teenaged girl talk.

#75 Abstinence doesn't count for shit if no one wants to fuck you and you don't have any hormones anyway.

"Everyone should wait 10 years,"
From age 7, evidently.

Yeah yeah yeah #76. How about you morph into someone that actually has something interesting to say?

@13 & 19 You tell 'em! Well said both of you...

What's with the semantics on slang. So what if she says ain't? So does at least 85% of America. Get over it.

Bristol for Pres.!! J/K. Have to say, of the quote in question, she made more sense, and showed more intelligence and rationality, than her mom ever did.

The hypocracy of people never ceases to amaze me...and scare me to death (When they're running for Pres. and VP). But enough politics...

The dude looks scared out of his mind! If her mom hadn't been running for VP, that boy would have been long gone...

zsa

@75 Just because you couldn't find a willing participant.

#80 yeah right, and I have nothing to prove to you. You're too funny.

What do you expect her to say?
#1 She is eighteen and chose not to show restraint. We all have to chose.

#2 The fact is sexual abstinence does work. Show me one baby who was conceived in abstinence. Im waiting...
Now show me how many were conceived with "safe sex". Not always safe is it.

Even in this the media twists words. When did she become the spokeswoman for promiscuous conduct. Check back with her in 5 years.

doesnt surprise me - her mom and her party made the kids say and do a ton of stupid stuff just to try and win the election - failed

My husband and I both waited until we were married to have sex. We were married at 23, and have great sex now. We are both attractive people who dated regularly before meeting each other. Saying teen sex has to happen is like saying anyone under the age of 18 doesn't posses the ability to exercise self discipline,. Maybe you were brain dead at 16 and let your crotch do your decision making but we were smarter then that.. We are pregnant with our first child now and we make 6 figures a year.. couldn't have done that with a baby at 16.

I am waiting until her and the bush twins who have also expressed no parental views become active members of the democratic party. She is right though kids will have sex and it is unrealistic to think we can put that genie back in the bottle. We are reaching a point where I think it will level off in the next 10 or 15 years though. There will be those who exercise that freedom and those that don't and we will come to a societal conclusion that is just how things are and move on to the next issue that is really about parent's own vanity rather than child protection.

Bristol in 2012? Good for her for taking a somewhat difference stance from Mrs. "I can see Russia from my House."


@12 - http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ain't

Hmm. Has she renounced Christianity now? Said Jesus Christ was a deluded fool? What's next?

Look at these two dim-witted fugs. That baby has the deck stacked against it.

@70 - It's true! Intellectuals generally don't have as many children. They must be thinking more than 30 seconds ahead of the moment.
