    One more question for the social conservatives...

    I'm trying hard to understand this situation and once more I beg your indulgence in deciphering this moral dilemma.

    Bristol Palin's pregnancy is apparently something that should be celebrated, she is after all going to be on the stage at the RNC along with her sperm donor.

    And yet, Britney Spear's younger sister was berated rather harshly by social conservatives for what appears to me to be essentially the same condition.

    Now I am positive that there must be some essential difference between these two young ladies that leads to the difference in the way their delicate errr.... condition is being treated but I'm unable to put my finger on just what that that difference might be. Could someone with a far more nuanced sense of morality than my own obviously damaged one please help me out here?
