Unexpurgated comment from a real mom
as a pro-choice mother of teenage boys, the fundamentalist view being
portrayed nationwide as this teen pregnancy being hailed as a "blessed
event" scares the sh** out of me. i live in a rural area that has one of
the state's highest teen pregnancy rates. this has been discussed openly
in our home because i have witnessed over and over the "joy" little girls
portray as they drop out of school and push their baby carriages around
town. i have seen the young men drop out of school, get a job to buy
diapers just because they had unprotected sex. i have always encouraged my
boys to wait to have sex, but i know there are families out there,just
like the palins, that will throw a big party for the child-mom who
"chooses" to have the baby. i am scared to death of the teen girls who are
watching who are hearing just what they want to hear - go ahead - get
pregnant. my boys have access to condoms, and i sure hope they use them.
and, i can guarantee i keep a closer eye on my boys than sarah palin
apparently kept on her daughter. and, even if this pretty young couple
gets married, i suppose we'll see another chapter of their "normal" family
when they divorce in 3-5 years.
How do we know that you didn't author this little snippet?
I'm not a mom.
