Default Just my concern....as a Mom!

I know that some of you may think this is just one more attack on McCain and Palin...but I just learned something that truly worries me!
I know that families all have issues...that we all have things that should be kept private...however she is running for VP of the USA and I am concerned of the way it may appear to our children!

I just read that on of Sara Palin's daughters is pregnant. She is 17 years old and still in High School. The media and moms everywhere went nuts when we found out about certain tv stars that were pregnant at such a young age! They have handled it very well as a family and are not hiding anything....however I just don't think that in this day and age that our VP's 17 year old daughter should be "ok" about having a baby.

I am not even discussing the family values campaigns....about the "unmarried" pregnancy....not my point and I don't care personally....BUT she is only 17!!

This is something that we are trying to curb in HS across America! Safe sex, birth control, abstinence....

I am not judging Sara P...nor am I judging her daughter....this is a family issue for them to deal with in whatever way they see fit...

HOWEVER....I do not think that the children that are learning to follow this campaign and pay attention to both sides should have to hear that the possible VP's 17 year old daughter is pregnant, in HS and will be getting married!!

Again this is NOT a personal attack on the campaign...this is a concern from a mom....

I do not want my soon to be teenage daughter to think it is ok for a teenager to be get pregnant!!! I know I can teach her that...but our politicians should be examples. We have a hard enough time sheltering our children/grandchildren from the inappropriate things our politicians do themselves....
