Default Re: Joe Biden???

I don't "mind" that the girl is pregnant nor that she is planning to get married right after graduation. It is none of my business. At the same time, if this were my daughter, I would be pushing hard for no marriage at this time.

Cassie, I agree that this isn't the best message to give American kids but there's really not much Palin can do about it. Her daughter is pregnant at 17. We have no idea how many battles there were at home before the parents agreed to a wedding. As I said, the best we can do is use things like this to give life lessons to our sons and daughters (or at least discussions).

What does bother me is that Palin thinks that teaching abstinance is the best sex ed for high schoolers. It seems like her daughter proves that doesn't work. Sarah Palin doesn't want "graphic sex education" in the schools. Personally, I don't want my daughter unmarried, pregnant and having a history of STDs. An abstinance curriculum does not give sufficient information IMO.
