Bristol Palin Pregnant Again

[LyndyLoo]

True. My brothers and I were all unplanned and my mom says she couldn't do without us now!!

But in seriousness, the difference was my parents were committed to one another each time they got pregnant (married), after the first one (ha ha!), had actually used birth control in order to try to choose the size of their family themselves, something apparently Bristol has been taught is wrong, and they didn't go around lecturing others about their personal lives.

This is is why Bristol should be ashamed- hypocrisy and judgment.

It seems to me with the long history of the Conservative movement in the evangelical portion anyway..that historically preaching the shaming of single mothers, lecture about sanctity of marriage ( as if bearing a child is only allowed within wedlock)..preaching abstinence, then spend the last half decade+ passing laws that refuse women's HC care facilities ( Planned Parenthood Clinic systemic forced closures) right down to withholding Birth control to their Insurance coverages if employer doesn't believe in BC..

Bristol is just proving one thing..Talk is Cheap ! Next, If anyone preaches to anyone..but is unable to follower her own lectures but condemns those who end up like herself kind of spotlights just why people are being Critical of her. Course she is just another mouthpiece for the "Principles " that her section of Political advocates..and sure she was pushed into it..Momma Grizzly no doubt had a hand in that too!! $$$$$ trumps reality every time IMO

Unfortunately for Bristol, and her children, they are in the public eye, through no fault of their own, and they will be judged harshly for their actions. Sure, she shouldn't have put herself out there and promoted something she obviously couldn't do herself, but has it says in John 8:7 'And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”

As it relates to this issue, Bristol was not in the public eye "through no fault of her own." She never had to go on the record as being pro-abstinence, but made a conscious choice to do so not only from the sidelines, but in an official capacity.

That said, the only thing I "judge her" for is not so much the hypocrisy, but the fact that she is clearly a slow learner. The unprotected sex part of this whole story is what makes her behavior seem really lacking in intelligence imo. It's natural to have sexual urges; I think most of us understand a young, beautiful woman desiring to act on those urges with someone she cared about. Many of us can understand her succumbing to them even while being the official mouthpiece for abstinence. But COME ON, by now she should understand the concepts of safe sex, STDs, and how to prevent an unwanted pregnancy while engaging in a sexual relationship.

It's her mother's sanctimonious attitude that really burns. And yet in the same week as her daughter announces her pregnancy, she is spouting off about how gay marriage will erode the moral social fabric...

It brings back the saying "Do as I say NOT what I DO" that I have heard since a youngin'. It spread from there right into school, workplace, church leaders and NOW basically coming out of the mouth's of politicians.
How many politicians/church leaders have preached something and only to get outed as themselves to be that object of hate or sinners as Evangelical folk spew? It only proves they cannot walk THEIR TALK!

 

[Donjeta]

Bristol didn't want any lectures but she's been reading online comments anyway and noted that people didn't take the negativity about the baby kindly:

http://www.tmz.com/2015/06/28/bristol-palin-pregnancy-out-of-wedlock-regrets/

Britstol just posted what looks squarely inconsistent with what she wrote when she announced her pregnancy. She says, "This pregnancy was actually planned."

Let’s get another thing straight, because I can’t tolerate all the talk on this subject. I have never been paid as an “abstinence spokesperson.”

At age 18, Bristol Palin announced that she was abstaining from sex before marriage after giving birth to her son Tripp in high school.
...
"I'm not going to have sex until I'm married," Bristol told In Touch magazine. "I can guarantee it."
...
Bristol said she didn't think she was setting herself up to fail. "It's a realistic goal for myself," Bristol added.

The moral of the story: don't give teenagers a public platform because they will say silly stuff.

 

[DairyGirl]

It is very possible that her and her partner wanted to get pregnant, especially if they were planning on getting married soon, they may have discontinued birth control intentionally not expecting it to happen that soon.
Still not saying she isn't a hypocrite or whatever but the pregnancy may not have been unplanned or unwanted initially.
I know that my partner and I wanted to get pregnant and discontinued birth control, also planning on marriage. Big mistake in hindsight but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
People in love sometimes make foolish choices without thinking things through. I wouldn't change a thing though. My daughter is the best thing to happen to me and I wouldn't have it any other way.

But apparently using birth control is wrong when unmarried.

 

[Donjeta]

I think she seems terribly young, still... I know she's not a teen mom any longer, but something radiates slightly immature vibes here. She is awfully concerned about online comments and haterz and is saying how she doesn't give a fig about what anybody thinks about her, but she does... both blogs are pretty much all about "oh what do people think of me". But apparently she never thought of what people would think before she planned to get pregnant before marriage. You'd think if you're that worried about your image and made a huge show about your intentions not to have sex until married, you'd wait for the wedding until leaving off the birth control because short of leaking a sex tape, getting pregnant is the only way people are going to be sure that you broke your promise. Then she says things like she wasn't paid to be an abstinence spokeswoman when she's on record saying that's what she's going to do, go around talking to teens about abstinence http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=7515119
Like she doesn't understand that some of this information in the news sticks around, and if you've got haterz they're going to dig it up when you lie or don't practice what you preach and solemnly swore to practice, and then they'll have more things to mock you about.

I wonder how much of this abstinence campaign was her own idea that she could wholeheartedly stand behind to begin with and how much was forced upon her as a political attempt to save Sarah Palin's Christian family values face. Sarah Palin was with her in the In Touch magazine interview and on Oprah talking about it. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/bristol-palin-sticks-abstinence-pledge/story?id=9636913
http://jezebel.com/5447191/sarah--bristol-palin-push-pro-life-message-in-new-in-touch

If she was told what to say by Sarah and her team, it's no wonder she couldn't or wouldn't live by it forever.



http://jezebel.com/5262498/bristol-palin-says-girls-dont-get-the-consequences-of-sex

In a truly depressing new People magazine cover story, Bristol Palin once again attempts to turn her life into a cautionary tale for other teens.
In order to do so, she must, with the help of People, imply that her life totally sucks.

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20280071,00.html?xid=rss-topheadlines

"Girls need to imagine and picture their life with a screaming newborn baby and then think before they have sex," she tells PEOPLE. "Think about the consequences."

If girls realized the consequences of sex, nobody would be having sex. Trust me. Nobody.

Some of these things she was saying sound like the first baby was a disappointment too. Oh but we're pro-life and all the babies are a gift from God so he's the light of my life. But don't have kids because being a mother sucks big time.

Aargh. I proofread, but I am having eye issues while I go from wearing contacts to bifocals.

Not complaining because I can see, but my eyes are changing . New glasses will be needed but waiting $$$$$$$$$

I think I will apply for her job. But I will do it for $200,000 a year. And if I get PG, it will be a better story than Bristol cuz I am over 60.

Who was she supposedly planning this baby with? She hasn't officially named the father.

 

[Donjeta]

From her blog:

This pregnancy was actually planned.

Everyone knows I wanted more kids, to have a bigger family. Believing I was heading that way, I got ahead of myself. Things didn’t go as planned, but life keeps going. Life moves on.

She doesn't actually come out and say so but seems to imply that it's the fiance she broke up with before the wedding. (If she was planning to get pregnant with somebody she wasn't engaged to her life would be very interesting in a tabloid sort of way...)

Bristol Palin Does Not Regret Getting Pregnant, Says Baby Was Planned—Find Out What Else She Said!

Bristol Palin is firing back at her haters who "mock" and "judge" her over her new pregnancy, saying she had planned on having another child...

[Montjoy]

I don't care at all if the pregnancy was planned or unplanned. I don't care if BP has been with one or one hundred men. I really don't. Personally, I'm pretty happy when anyone can be free of religious or moral strictures when they have sex for pleasure.

I do take issue with anyone who will use their celebrity and its publicity to promote an issue, say, having no sex before marriage, and then act act with indifference to the issue that they've promoted. It's a pretty bad mixed message.

Although she is an adult, her celebrity is due entirely to her mother's fame. And so I have some sympathy here, but not enough to wash away all of the hypocrisy.

Right. And if it were a poor, minority woman or even a teenaged rape victim who was once again a single parent, the Palins and their ilk would be screaming about the disintegration of our moral fabric.

When white princess Bristol has multiple illegitimate kids, people are big ole meanies for pointing out her hypocrisy.

She is now 24, correct? She should practice what she preaches.

And my big shiny bum "planned". Even if it were planned (but seriously LIAR LIAR) she is a hypocrite because she preaches about how sinful sex outside of marriage is.

These people are repugnant.

 

[Donjeta]

And that's not even all she preaches...She has come out judging other celebrities a lot lately, so now she doesn't want to be judged.

And there is a certain rich irony in someone who recently declared, regarding the Duggars, that Lena Dunham “makes me want to puke” because “Liberals in today’s media can do no wrong, while conservatives can do no right” suddenly asking not to be lectured. This is a lady who just earlier this month went on a tear about Miley Cyrus, saying, “Thanks for giving us the best example of what ‘tolerance’ looks like in Hollywood: it looks a lot like contempt,” and groused of Caitlyn Jenner that “Being gay/transgender makes you a hero,” adding tellingly, “We have way too many hypocrites.” All of this, while she all but certainly must already have known she was pregnant. So I confess that my first thought when I heard the news was to think back a few days to the words of Palin’s mother Sarah — “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t laugh … this hard.”

The world would be a lot kinder to her if she just minded her own business and didn't throw so many stones around. So she's pregnant, no big deal. Bristol who?

 

[EllieBee]

Who was she supposedly planning this baby with? She hasn't officially named the father.

And anyway, she wasn't married to him yet. Which matters not one whit to me, but given her rather public judgements of other people, women in particular, it screams hypocrisy to say "well, we were fixin to get married so it's okay for ME to have sex outside of marriage." Again.

It's just sinful for other people.

"And don't judge me!"

"That's my gig."

Exactly. By mouthing off and judging and shaming entire groups of women who have found themselves in the same position as Princess Bristol, she is inviting scrutiny and deservedly so.

How DARE she accuse the press and public of being mean to her?

Just Google the vitriolic spew she has aimed at anyone who doesn't fit her bill of a "true Christian". But she expects kid gloves?

Eff her.

 

[Geminigirl77]

I just don't understand why she didn't learn from her first unplanned pregnancy though?

I will admit I haven't followed Bristol Palin. I find it hard to believe she preaches sex is sinful outside of marriage or that rape victims or a disintegration of our moral fabric. If you have a link supporting these claims I would very much appreciate it. I usually try to google before asking for a link and was surprised my google search led me to the following:
