Bristol Palin: abstinence not realistic

Duncan Riley — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:51:03 +0000

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.

Here’s the Bristol Palin Fox News interview:

Bristol Palin, the 18-year-old daughter of Alaska Governor and failed GOP VP Candidate has given birth.

Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston was born on Sunday, weighing 7 pounds, 4 ounces (3.3kg).

Relative Colleen Jones told People Magazine that the baby is fine and Bristol is “doing well.”

Bristol Palin was, at least for a short time America’s most famous pregnant teen, after her mother was forced to disclose the pregnany after accepting the Republican Vice Presidential slot. Her relationship with the child’s father, and their family has continued to remain gossip fodder, particularly after the child’s grandmother was arrested on drugs charges.

Missing your daily dose of Sarah Palin? Fear not — an Alaskan photographer from Palin’s town of Wasilla has created a Sarah Palin calendar for 2009. It’s already topping online sales charts, too.

About the Sarah Palin Calendar 2009

The Sarah Palin calendar, created by Judy Patrick Photography, features more than 50 photos of the Palin family, its Web site boasts. Many of them are described as “never before seen” images (insert “oohs” and “ahhs” here).

The 9 inch by 12 inch calendar is selling for $15.95 and is available through Amazon and AtlasBooks. As of this posting, the calendar is the #1 best-seller in Amazon’s “Office Products” category. (The #2 best-seller, in case you were wondering, is a pair of scissors.)

Early reviewers say the calendar looks promising at a glance, but once you get to really know it, you realize it was definitely the wrong choice.

Sherry Johnston, the mother-in-law to be of Alaska’s favorite pregnant teen Bristol Palin has been arrested on drugs charges.

Bristol Palin, daughter of Alaska Governor and failed Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Parah came to prominence during the 2008 Election after it was disclosed that she was pregnant by her then boyfriend, now fiancee Levi Johnston. Bristol was (and to some extent still is) the center of unconfirmed allegations that she had already had a child, and that Sarah Palin had pretended the child was hers.

Sherry Johnston was arrested after officers served a search warrant on a Wasilla home, and is charged with six felony drug counts. Authorities have not disclosed the drug involved in the charges.

Sherry Johnston was released from jail on $5,000 bail.
