Why wouldn’t a father consider his daughter getting pregnant at such a young age to be punishment?

Natural consequences are not ‘punishment’.

If his daughter were to stick her finger in a light socket, getting shocked would not be ‘punishment’, that’s just what happens when you stick your finger in a light socket.

Similarly, screwing some D-average pimple farm and getting pregnant when you’re too young to be having sex is not ‘punishment’. That would be when her father puts the baby up for adoption (she has no business being a mother) and ships her off to an isolated girls’ school until the day she turns 18.

Track Palin has voluntarily served two tours of duty as an infantryman in two different wars. Your “severely conservative” plastic-haired metrosexual idol Teh Mittenz was dodging the draft in a mansion in France when he was Track’s age.

But hey, his sons working on his campaign was equivalent to serving in a war zone or something, right? I guess being shot at is for the little people.

SHE was the ONLY thing McCain got right.

You all can have your Rubios….your Ryans…..your Christies…

…..I’ll take Palin every day, and twice on Sunday…she’s
the best, bar none.

Because the child is your flesh and blood. The grandchild is your flesh and blood. Your embarrassment does not trump that child’s right to be born.

I was at a family gathering over the holidays. One of my husband’s cousins had gotten pregnant in her late teens and kept the child. That beautiful child is such a joy. She’s a good student, happy and talented academically and athletically. Her formerly “teenage” mom leaned over to her own mother, the loving and patient grandmother, and said, “How could we have ever lived without her in our lives?” There wasn’t a dry eye in the place.

No child is a mistake. No child is a punishment.

Blessings on you and your beautiful grandchild.

Sir, I couldn’t have said more or better.

More evidence that some on the Right want to do more than just prevent a Palin presidential candidacy; they want her gone from the public eye completely.
