If you have already had one child out of wedlock and have been paid a substantial salary to campaign for abstinence, finding yourself pregnant should be mildly crushing, wouldn’t you think? And when the news got out you’d likely be a little embarrassed, right? But if the news breaks on the same day that the President of the United States gets the news that the latest and most likely last big court test of his health care program made it through the Supreme Court in fine form, your pregnancy news probably drops off the radar for a few days.
You ought to hope so, anyway. I know it would embarrass me if I’d made nearly a million bucks as an “ambassador of abstinence” and turned up in a family way. But maybe you Palins are made of stronger stuff than I.
I’ve been laughing over this one all morning. She doesn’t want lectures………….who cares, really? Oh wait, those who paid her to preach about abstinence might, I suppose. I wonder if it was coincidence? I would not have thought any of them were smart enough to plan it that way??
I was thinking the same thing – why not wait for the usual Friday news dump? And then SCOTUS came through with a gift for her.
“I know it would embarrass me if I’d made nearly a million bucks as an “ambassador of abstinence” and turned up in a family way.”
There should be an “Again.” at the end of that. After all, the 2008 election cycle was chock full of Sarah preaching about it. And on another note, Bristol Palin is a poster child for birth control education and access. And for legal and safe abortion, for that matter.
