Sarah Palin to be a Grandmother (Again): Another Palin Pregnancy Scandal
One grandchild out-of-wedlock? We'll buy it. Two grandchildren?
Move over, Bristol! There’s another Palin family pregnancy scandal afoot and - dare I say it? - it’s going to create more waves than yours did.
Two months ago, 22 year-old Track Palin, eldest child of Sarah and Todd, married 21 year-old Britta Hanson in an intimate family gathering. Fast forward to the present day when pictures surfaced on Facebook of Britta surrounded by gifts at her baby shower, looking to be firmly in her third trimester of pregnancy. How good are you guys at math?
So, since the Palin family continues to ignore the elephant in the room, I’ll go ahead and throw it out there: How well is this whole abstinence-only thing workin' for ya?
There’s nothing wrong with choosing to be abstinent until marriage. I’d also argue that there’s nothing wrong with choosing to be sexually active before marriage, as long as you and your partner are well-versed on the various methods of pregnancy prevention and understand how to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases. Both, let me emphasize, are personal opinions.
But it seems that, while other advocates might have more luck, Sarah Palin has shot herself in the foot big time, and won’t be able to back out of this one so easily. One of your children has a child out of wedlock? That’s a fluke! Two of your children? That’s more like a pattern. And if the biggest piece of evidence you have that abstinence-only education is a good idea is that not one, but two, of your children conceived babies while unmarried? Well, that’s what we young people would call an “epic fail.”
