Turns out that Governor Sarah Palin’s 17 year old daughter Bristol is in fact pregnant.

The Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has announced that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child.

Bristol Palin, one of Palin’s five children with her husband, Todd, is about five months pregnant and is going to keep the child and marry the father, the Palins said in a statement released by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

Bristol Palin made the decision on her own to keep the baby, McCain aides said.

“We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us,” the Palins’ statement said.

“Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support,” the Palins said.

The Palins asked the news media to respect the young couple’s privacy.

The Palins are about a nanosecond from seeing what the news media calls “respect”.

Jonn added: Michelle Malkin makes a good point;

One ticket sees this as a blessing. The other sees it as a curse. Could the core differences between the two be any starker?

McCain knew about Bristol being pregnant. She’s keeping the baby and her and the father will be getting married. I wish them luck as they’re going to need it being so young and becoming parents.

So they’re a real family, probably just like one each of knows of. Poor Bristol having to go through all this in the press.

But I’m sure nothing like this has EVER happened to a Democrat family, bec. they’re so much better than all the rest of us.

I have been down this road myself. The only difference was my daughter was 19 and on her own. My granddaughter is 7&1/2 now and simply amazing.
There was absolutely no thought what so ever of abortion, period.
I know that Governor Palin and her family are going to catch an incredible amount of flak over this one. To those on the left, I say: Golf-Mike-Yankee-Oscar-Foxtrot-Bravo.
It ain’t easy being a parent these days, so you do the best you can and play the hand that God deals you. I’m sure the lefties that may read this may go bonkers on that one.
Just read the name on this comment, including the USN RET part. Better than them? That I am.

Frankly Opinionated

Michelle Obama’s daughters don’t need this. Their daddy said that if they should “have an accident” that they’d have abortion available for them. This is just another of the many ways that Republicans use to be better than others. “Our” children, will have family support, while lib children will have abortion, (if they live that long, or don’t). Sheesh, you would think that they would at least consult with the Obamessiah before deciding to keep the baby. Have they no idea of how great he is?

Didn’t you hear the heads exploding across the country? Palin’s daughter is 5 months Pg so it’s impossible that the 4 month old Palin baby belongs to the daughter. Democrats never learn to check before they leap off a bridge, sometimes there in no water in the river. But they do love a lie and spread it fast.
