This is not a private matter when your mother is the governor and advocates not teaching about or using birth control and when she supports abstinence only education. How far do we have to look for the evidence that this sort of sex education does not work? So she got pregnant. Mom apparently did not teach her how not to get pregnant. If Palin did not advocate certain positions with regard to sex education and women's bodies, then this would not be an issue.
