I am an avid Obama supporter, but this may be one of the few areas, where I strongly disagree that this is a private family matter.
Here is a woman who supports abstinence only education, which obviously doesn't work, as her own family has so duly demonstrated.
Now if this was just your average joe family, I too would agree its a private matter, but you are talking about the woman who wants to VP of the US. She wants to instill the same abstinence education in all our children's schools, as she taught her own daughter. Well then it does become my business and everyone else's for that matter.
If this young girl had proper sex education such as they used to teach in public schools (do they teach sex ed anymore?), perhaps this unfortunate situation could have been avoided.
As far as I can tell, the only one to blame with all of this negative attention being brought onto this young girl, is her mother herself, for selfishly putting her own professional gains above her children's lives.
