Bristol Palin: abstinence not realistic

Bristol Palin, daughter of failed GOP VP candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, for a time America’s most famous pregnant teen has given an interview about her pregnancy and life in the spotlight.

The interview aired Monday on Fox News Channel’s “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren” and dare I say it, Bristol Palin actually comes across as more reasonable than her mother.

The best line from the interview was Bristol saying that the abstinence preached by her mother was “not realistic” because teen sex is “more and more accepted.”

On rumors that Sarah Palin forced her to have her baby, she also took full responsibility: “It doesn’t matter what my mom’s views are on it. It was my decision, and I wish people would realize that, too.”

While we doubt Bristol is about to become a spokesperson against the abstinence movement any time soon (the full quote “Everyone should be abstinent, but it’s just not realistic at all”) it’s refreshing to see that even in such a conservative household that Bristol can see reality, and not just Russia from her back window.
