Bristol Palin, a spokesperson for abstinence-only sex education, recently announced on her Patheos blog (which somehow wound up in the Family section) that she was pregnant. The post was not a happy one; her tone was more one of defeatist resignation than one of excitement.
It was also a post that invited criticism. After all, it was Palin’s second pregnancy, and she’s still unwed. The word “hypocrisy” springs to mind.
But Palin wants you to know that’s not so. In a blog post dated to June 28, the daughter of the Stupidest Woman in Alaska and one-time half-term governor put all of us in our place by telling us that the pregnancy was “planned.”
There was a point behind most of the criticism, and it had a clearance of easily thirty-thousand feet as it sailed over her head.
Like mother like daughter
Palin announced on June 28 that she got her previous post wrong.
“I made a mistake, but it’s not the mistake all these giddy a$$holes have loved to assume,” Palin said. She elucidated:
This pregnancy was actually planned.
Palin then lost herself in the twin maze of the English language and her own thoughts:
Everyone knows I wanted more kids, to have a bigger family. Believing I was heading that way, I got ahead of myself. Things didn’t go as planned, but life keeps going. Life moves on.
But I do not regret this baby. This baby is not a disappointment, and I cannot wait to be a mom times two. Tripp is going to make the best big brother!!
She concluded by noting:
I am pregnant. This is not the ideal situation, but life is important even if it’s not in the most absolute ideal circumstance. This is more confirmation on what I’ve always stood for. I’ve always been pro-life and I am standing for life now.
Palin, also attempting to deflect the criticism leveled at her for being an abstinence-only advocate, said:
Let’s get another thing straight, because I can’t tolerate all the talk on this subject. I have never been paid as an ‘abstinence spokesperson.’ I was employed by the great people at The Candies Foundation.
History, of course, proves her wrong. She even made $262,500 from the Candie’s Foundation as an “abstinence ambassador,” according to the Daily Beast. But you won’t hear that from her, because it puts her in an indefensible position.
And this, of course, is the primary thrust of the criticisms and accusations of hypocrisy. Whether the pregnancy was “planned” — which she claims it was, in the broadest possible sense of the word — is immaterial to the discussion.

Yeah, SHE planned it, but the Medal of Honor winner probably didn’t! I venture to say that HE is the one who left HER at the altar instead of the other way around!
I’m waiting to see how this pans out..Popcorn anyone!!
I’m betting the MOH winner is not the baby daddy and she sort of had to tell him she is with child and since he hadn’t slept with her knew it was not his child.
yup. very possible. She is crazycakes!
She is a total liar mouth. Rewrites history to suit her situation.
remember also her mom started having a baby in texas and flew to alaska to deliver it. roflmao
So she was “employed by the great people at The Candies Foundation” to do WHAT, exactly? Did she think all those people asking her questions about abstinence was some sort of weird coincidence? Or does she think she was being employed simply because she was the daughter of a failed governor and loser VP candidate?
Don’t forget that they’re all failed reality TV “stars”.
BOY LOOKIE HERE ……………………. SEE Abstinence Works.She planned this and had an immaculate conception.
I just want to point out that this alleged
“news source” “addicting info” is spewing hatred under the
guise of information. It is another example of free speech protecting racist,
biased, hateful and untrue rantings. It is so busy degrading and bashing the
other side that it is doing what it is blasting the other side for doing. Just
because you have the right to do something, does not mean you should.
Intelligence, wisdom, Common Sense and general good manners are definitely
absent from this source and its contributors.
What do you read?
Do you whine when Faux does this too or is it only wrong when “liberals” do it?
And here you are wasting your breath, time and energy like an idiot. No one here cares about your stilted opinions.
Non government sources are not what the first amendment is about. Bristol is in the clear with her hypocritical abstinence only advocacy. So are those who call her on her ‘do as I say, not as I do’ message.
May I say recommend preparation h for that butthurt?
It appears that she is not getting an abortion, something any good Liberal would do.
Fun Fact: Liberals account for nearly 50% of the population. Maybe we should outlaw abortion so we can outnumber the conservatives
No, Liberals love killing their children because they demonstrate no morals or self control.
You just LOVE posting that kind of hysterical stuff, don’t you? Gives you a weird and perverted thrill to post “liberals love killing their children” because at the bottom of your fat-slabbed creaky little conservative rotten walnut heart you’re SCARED of liberals. This is like running up and slapping a liberal’s doorbell for you, you slobbering mass of ignorance and bigotry.
Typical Liberal Name calling comments. Nothing new to see here folks.
Comments like this are why nobody with a brain votes Conservative.
Must have been a lot of no brainers in November last year then.
That’s the thing: Conservatives tend to be older people who can drop what they’re doing and go vote. Liberals tend to be younger people who are tied up with jobs/school/general life and can’t just take the day off to go wait in a line.
And that’s before you factor in anti-voting measures that the Right has constructed.
What a bunch of excuses and blather.
That’s a pretty common conservative response to hearing facts they don’t like.
My above comment was for you ^^ ,”Another Thought”
As a tree-hugging, pro-choice, flaming liberal, gleeful supporter of marriage equality, believer in climate change, (are you frothing at the mouth with hate and rage yet?) Oh, I forgot, I believe in evolution too, AND I think the bible is a nice collection of fairy tales, AND I really wish Elizabeth Warren would run for president! I’m also a mother of five wonderful, loved, children. I’ve managed somehow not to have killed any of them! They all work hard, and have gifted our family with four beautiful, loved, wanted grandchildren. I’ve also learned over the years that there is always “poor sorry souls” who as my grandmother always said “have to put others down, criticize others, and spew hate on people that they disagree with so they can feel superior”. I fell sorry for you. You sound very unhappy and bitter. I hope your outlook and life improve!
Thanks for describing the Actions of the Left so eloquently with their constant attacks on Conservatives. Some how your family must have seen the light at some point. Tell them welcome to the real world.
Science tells us that Conservatives are mentally ill and are more likely to also be racist. Thanks for stopping by so that we all can identify your smell now.
Must be Liberal Science because the stench from the White House is over bearing.
Unlike Rethuglicans which simply starve and deprive the infant until it is dead.
You are so full of it.
yeah and the medal of honor is not thefather
Bristol baby, know body doubt what you are saying is the truth, why are you defending yourself. Its not your job that mattered its the hypocritical reality of it all. Im aware people get pregnant everyday out of WEDLOCK and who is to say whats right or wrong or is it traditional to be married. We all, those who believe in god will have to answer for some of the sins we commit on a daily basis but in the end, god gets all the glory…
