You said that social conservatives believe that:
"Bristol Palin's pregnancy is apparently something that should be celebrated."
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.
I know that taking responsibility for one's decisions is not something the left believes in. If they did, they might not invest so much of their time and effort killing the innocent for their parents 'crime' while, at the same time, sparing the convicted for horrible crimes they did in fact commit.
