While it would normally appear to be "off limits" to discuss a candidates family, Sarah Palin has made her family a public issue and their values and choices have very real public policy implications and give rise to legitimate questions. There are many, but here are a few:
Does Gov Palin believe that abstinence only birth control educations is effective?
Does Gov Palin intend to continue to have high risk pregnancies into her late forties? If woman with less economic means act in the same manner, who should pay for the care of the offspring if they are unable to do so?
Has the father of Bristol's child agreed to marry her? (if not, then they're lying in saying that they intend to get married).
Does Gov Palin believe that Bristol's right to privacy is Constitutionally protected?
