Social conservatives do not celebrate out of wedlock pregnancies. But people sometimes make bad choices. And if that bad choice happens to be out of wedlock sex that results in a fertilized egg and the beginning of a new human life, we will celebrate young women who choose to take responsibility for their mistake rather than compounding their mistake by making that new life pay the price.
Bristol didn't make a 'bad' choice she made an ill informed one. And you are utter hypocrites to pretend that you 'celebrate' the imminent arrival of an unplanned and generally unwanted new life.
You lot don't give a damn for the child except that it now acts as a millstone around a young and ignorant persons neck.
And it hangs there because of the bad choices and mistakes that YOU lot make constantly in the manner in which you rear your young in an atmosphere of wrong headed ignorance. It's YOUR mistakes that the child with child is paying for not her own.
But you lot, stubborn and righteous to the end without a grain of humility in you that might lead to learning and dare I say it evolution is completely missing from both your genes from your heads and above all from your hearts.
If I had my way, I'd have the lot of you put down. You are more trouble than you are worth and further more when ever you get any where near power you are as much lovers of bloodied war as you are of the unborn child.
You think you are the Chosen which leads you all towards the most appalling of the sins - Pride and above all - Spiritual Pride. The sooner your days are over and you are rammed back in the toy box from which you were only prized in order that the likes of Cheney/Rove could for their own purposes jerk your chains and manipulate you the sooner America might start the long road back to some sort of cultural sanity.
