It has everything to do with her policy making abilities. Don’t tell someone to do something if you can’t do it yourselves. The daughter was not being responsible it was being reactionary. Being responsible would be educating yourself about sex and using contraceptives. By marrying this man she could make her life worse and worse for the child. I never said all people who choose abstinence fall to the same destinies that Palin’s daughter has. I just believe that you live in 2008 do you really think that the only way to protect yourself is to forget about it? To actually teach abstinence is to say that yes sex exists but you don’t have to have it until you are married. People are going to be curious you must acknowledge that there are ways to protect yourself.

 

The book banning was proven true look it up.

 

Actually the book banning idea was derived from a quote made by a man who worked on a campaign for another man who Palin beat, so he’s not exactly an unbiased source now is he?

 

But let me get this straight, you are basing most of your dislike of Palin on the fact that her daughter is pregnant? You know even Obama wouldn’t touch that one? Because he rightfully acknowledged that his own mother was unmarried. I mean if Palin’s daughter shouldn’t have kept her baby, then do you think Obama’s mother should have? Or what about contraception for Obama? Think about it. I don’t think that you can be a teenager today in America and not know what a condom does. And maybe she was using a condom and it broke? You can’t seriously tell me that she didn’t know the consequences when she had sex.

 

But what does this all have to do about Palin? Is she unqualified to be vp because she believes in abstinence? Is your opinion that abstinence is such a stupid idea that anyone who believes it is stupid as well? So many people in the media and elsewhere have tried to proclaim Palin as unintelligent and thus unqualified.

 

I mean if you want to disqualify candidates by what their children do, every person with the last name of Kennedy should resign.
