In November 2006, then gubernatorial candidate Sarah Palin declared that she would not support an abortion for her own daughter even if she had been raped.

Granting exceptions only if the mother's life was in danger, Palin said that when it came to her daughter, "I would choose life."

At the time, her daughter was 14 years old. Moreover, Alaska's rape rate was an abysmal 2.2 times above the national average and 25 percent of all rapes resulted in unwanted pregnancies. But Palin's position was palatable within the state's largely Republican political circles.

This lady is a total whack job......NEM

Well let's just hope that Bristol was not raped. I'm very serious about that.

That girl is going to have MASSIVE therapy bills.

She and her boyfriend need to get together with people like Maya Keyes, King-of-Public-Homophobia Alan Keyes' daughter, who got kicked out of the house for being queer.

Grown-up Children of Fundies, unite! You have nothing to lose but your whacko rightwing extremist parental units!

It's unfortunate how many of them go into the same family business.

That's very true. But those of us who escape do so with a massive, unstoppable vengeance.

I'm betting something completely unprovable, which is that Bristol may have done like so many conservative-raised kids before her and "had to get married" on purpose, to get out of the house.

I would not blame her, at all. Conservative families are a living hell.
