Maybe she is totally against abortion, maybe she thought that she could provide the child with a loving home, etc. But when it comes to the "sex talk" with her children, I can assure you that her "17" year old had this talk, but she is a soon to be adult, maybe her birth control failed, maybe the condom broke, we dont know... but I can assure you the mother (or parents) did not fail her despite what you may think. Unfortunately a parent cant be with the daughter 24/7 days a week, its impossible, trust me. The daughter and Levi had intended on marrying with or without them being pregnant.
who cares if she knew it was going to have down syndrome? point being i wouldn't want a child with such. you do know they are called SPECIAL NEEDS children for a reason? it is b/c they require more time/attention. so again i propose who is going to be watching the DS baby while she is globe trotting? obviously not her or her husband b/c they couldn't instill enough in their 17 yr old not to get preggers.

I further want to ask how on earth you think a 17 is an adult. I'm sorry but 17, 18, 21, etc are not adults. You know what makes you an adult... being able to support yourself and others. Their daughter if far from doing that. I'm sure she is real grown up. Most schools in metro areas don't even allow teen pregnancy, but I'm sure being in the po-dunk town of Wasilla there is probably only one HS.

Republicans always whine about democrats crying over sh!t - on this issue i've never heard such back pedaling. "oh atleast she is keeping the baby", "oh they are gonna get married" - WTF do you know how dumb that sh!t sounds? this jerry springer BS does not need to be running our country.
