Single Christian Lady Bristol "Screw As I Say, Not As I Screw" Palin is Pregnant Again

http://www.thestranger.com/blogs/slog/2015/06/25/22452038/bristol-palin-is-pregnant

This will be Bristol Palin's second child. This one is either by her second ex-fiance or some poor man to be named later. There's more from Bristol here, if you're so inclined and you have a high tolerance for platitudes (I'm not and I don't), and here are three things I gotta get off my chest...

1. If Bristol Palin's last name was "Obama" the whole Hee Haw gang at Fox News would spend half of every day for the next nine months telling us that Bristol Obama has terrible parents—"Maybe Michelle should be less concerned with what your kids are eating and more concerned with what her kids are doing!"—and the other half of the day pretending to fret over the terrible example that Bristol Obama was setting for other African American women and girls. But unplanned pregnancies and kids in fatherless homes and two different children by two different fathers? IOIYAR.

2. Does anyone remember what Bristol Palin had to say back when Barack Obama endorsed marriage equality for the first time as president? (He had previously endorsed gay marriage back when he was a candidate for state office in Illinois in 1996.) President Obama told ABC News that Sasha and Malia's perspective had informed his own. Both of his daughters had friends with gay and lesbian parents. It didn't "make sense to them," the president said, "that somehow their friends’ parents would be treated differently."...

The irony here? Besides that Bristol Palin opposes same-sex marriage because she believes that kids—other than her own—need to grow up mother/father homes? We now know that Obama's story about Malia and Sasha is bullshit. Both probably have friends with gay and lesbian parents—they live in White House, after all, and they go to Sidwell Friends—but seeing as Obama was for marriage equality all along it was Obama who shaped his daughters' views on marriage equality and not the other way around.

What do you expect from a bunch of carny grifters? My apologies to all carny grifters because comparing you to the Palins is insulting because you guys have more honor than them.

Of course if you actually practice abstinence before marriage rather than just hypocritically preaching it for monetary gain you most likely wont get pregnant but if your going to not practice abstinence before marriage then atleast have the common sense to use birth control especially after you have already gotten pregnant before and had a child under similar circumstances.

Ordinarily, I would say lay off her. Don't engage in slut shaming. But this is a little different. She's out in public, laying out the Jesus rules for good behavior, one of which is no sex outside marriage. Those 15 minutes of fame can be a little uncomfortable sometimes, can't they, Bristol?

...who are out there lecturing the rest of us on morality, specifically abstinence -- and being paid for it -- and I'll be happy to call them out.

Bristol is a very public figure who has been paid to lecture other people about abstinence as the best method of birth control -- and who is now having a second child out of wedlock -- with different fathers, no less.

Sorry, but in this case being female should not shield her from ridicule. IMO of course.

For that cheesy video with that jag off reality show guy. At least he had condoms with him, but of course they had to be magnums.

is her ex-fiancé, and that she broke off the engagement because he was "too controlling." If that's the case, I say good for her. Now she just needs to stop lecturing people about abstinence.

She sounds so very unhappy about the pregnancy, and being in the environment she is, she has no choice but to keep the baby. She talks a lot about how unhappy the people around her will be about this, and not once does she seem joyful about the pregnancy. It is a tragedy, not something to make fun of. Every baby should be wanted, but this one so obviously isn't, and that is sad. It should remind us that it's not just finances that make women want to end a pregnancy.

Yes, she has been a huge anti-choice candidate, but let's not sink to their level. I hope this will make her understand why women want to have abortion available, but I cannot laugh at a baby being born whose mother is so unhappy about her pregnancy. Not even for schadenfreude.

She is a very mixed up young lady but seriously look at her upbringing. The immediate thrusting onto the national stage while a teen and pregnant. Being used as a prop in an election that turned into a three ring circus. I would even venture to guess her out spokeness on abstinence comes from that narcissistic wind bag of a mother she was blessed with. How many decisions in her life so far have been her own my guess is very few.

yeah, her parents are shitty but she is an adult now. she made the decision to have a tv show, go on dancing with the stars, be a spokesperson for abstinence and get paid a lot of money for it. so others will judge her.

if she was some private individual i wouldn't say anything .

but she is like the duggars who all profit from the shit they preach.

and the child comes across Bristol's pregnancy announcement about what a disappointment it was to everyone and how your mom let so many people down with child number 2.

Just think how wanted and loved the child will feel.

Not that I want to lecture someone who doesn't want to be lectured about things she got paid to lecture others about.
