OK, so the vice presidential candidate for the party of family values has a teenage daughter who is pregnant. She will keep the baby and marry the father. She is a walking example of why abstinence does not work as a message. This young girl got the message from her family, her church, her community and her school. And she still did not listen. Her Mother was the Governor and she did not listen. She had sex, without protection, with her boyfriend.
So why don't we start making sure that people understand that sex without protection creates life long issues. Start understanding that they will have sex. As people get married later and later, they will have sex before marriage.
I need to take the opportunity to make sure my daughter understands the implications. She will be 14. We need her to take care of herself. Teach her self reliance. The babysitting will help. She hates screaming babies. Understanding what is hard about children will help her understand you have to want it. You have to be willing to set everything aside whether you want to or not.
I hope I can help her see that safe sex or no sex is part of taking care of herself. Motherhood isn't for sissies. Kids who want to watch You tube, download i-tunes, carry Coach purses and wear Abercrombie shouldn't play with sex.
And politicians shouldn't play with our children's lives. It is serious. Palin might have considered making her child a poster child for unprotected sex. Why in the word did this Mother put her child knowingly into the spot light nationally for this debate. It is enough when children of political or high profile people have to deal with their personal issues and mistakes in the spot light. DUI, underage drinking, speeding ect. She chose knowing about the issue. How are they going to help this child through at a time when her time will belong to the people of this country if she wins.
It is reason enough for me not to vote for her.
