Bristol Palin announces pregnancy

[gmboy95]

I have no problem if Bristol likes to fly her freak flag.....but the least she could do is stow the BS about abstinence and practice some sound family planning!

 

[DanceswithDisney]

I find it shameful that she wants her privacy now. Sorry honey, but you cannot have it both ways. You want to prance your fanny around on TV in Dancing with the Stars and plug your blog and tours to promote abstinence...you have to listen to everyone who wants to call you out for the strumpet hussy hypocrite you are.

It seems the easiest way to have sex is to go on an abstinence tour!

 

[TLSnell1981]

Bristol had the courage to NOT take the easy way out. She chose the life of her unborn child. She's made mistakes, but has her priorities straight.

 

[WowLookAtThat]

All hypocritical aspects aside, I think it was messed up for her to publicly state "I know this has been, and will be, a huge disappointment to my family, to my close friends, and to many of you" in an announcement. It just seems wrong and no matter how she may feel about being pregnant in her circumstances, there is no reason to say that.

Every child is indeed a miracle and a blessing.

Sometimes I feel sorry for Bristol. I think she is probably a nice girl, but very misguided.

I don't see why it's messed up to state she knows her behavior will be a disappointment based on the belief system she claims. She seems to be addressing exactly what many people are saying here. Her family and close friends may be disappointed, many here are calling her names so seem downright offended by her choices. She knows and is acknowledging this will be the case. I think it would be way weirder not to acknowledge that this wasn't her ideal plan. I agree with TLSnell that she showed courage in addressing it outright. Many others in her situation would make another choice.

I don't think fame means you have to listen to everyone's opinions, even when you mess up. You know they'll have opinions, but how would listening to them help? Dances with Disney, do you think she is a strumpet because she had sex outside of marriage or because she had the goal of abstinence but had sex anyway? I know nothing about her other than she was pregnant before and is kind of a famous unwed mother and is now having another child. I don't really understand why you think she should be publicly flogged. ????

JK!!!

Bristol goes back on her word, says this "huge disappointment" is now a planned pregnancy.

Looks like she got a stern talking to since her previous comments about the "huge disappointment" are now gone. At least they're being reported as gone. I haven't personally sought them out either way.

Ramp up the PR machine. LOL.

Maybe it's just the pregnancy hormones making her say all those cray cray things. It makes NO sense whatsoever to preach abstinence and then claim that your pregnancy was "planned." Right. Sure. I believe that.

 

[hereyago]

Yes, it was planned: anytime you do not take measures to prevent pregnancy, or don't use those measures properly, then you are planning for something to happen. You may hope it doesn't, but you set the wheels in motion.

 

[bcla]

I believe the relevant phrase to describe this is "self serving".

Bristol said, they planned this pregnancy. Unfortunately, the relationship ended abruptly and the wedding was called off. Making her, once again, an unwed mother. I understand THAT is her big disappointment. It's not an ideal situation, but I'm sure all will be fine. The baby will be well cared for and loved.

So she PLANNED an out-of-wedlock pregnancy? It's not like they got married and got divorced. They never married. If he is the father, then they clearly had sex prior to the fact.

I'm certainly not against out-of-wedlock kids. In my opinion, who cares, but it seems like this is just her response to backlash over her basically saying she was disappointed to be having this kid.

They were getting married. She didn't PLAN on being unwed. She called off the wedding, just days before the event. I don't know, what happened, but it must've been a doozy.

Sorry. I understand you, maybe I didn't make it clear that I am criticizing HER choices, not your comment. As an abstinence-only gal, I think it's silly for her to essentially be saying "well, we were CLOSE ENOUGH!" And get pregnant before they got married. She also said in this most recent statement that there's a difference between being in your teens and being in your 20's. Don't 20-somethings need to understand safe sex too? Or it is ok to have unprotected sex and get pregnant as long as they can hurry up and marry soon?

Meh. Getting too political. Bottom line is she is full of it and just spinning her wheels now.

 

[sonnyjane]

I'll also add I REALLLLLY want to see a paternity test! Tabloids say they called off the wedding because she found out he had been married before. Since announcing the pregnancy he hasn't had much to say other than people should focus on more important things happening in the world.

If there was ever an argument for forced sterilization...

Wow judgmental

 

[disneyjunkie]

She had a right to choose the life she prefers. Between child support from the dads and the extra cash every year from Alaska (will be x 3) she will get by. Not sure why she's news.
I hope she's doesn't end up on TLC. It wouldn't be good for her, her children, or the viewers.

Funny how getting a job and supporting herself and her kids wasn't mentioned. CS is intended to HELP support the kids, not the mother.

Two kids and two baby daddies.

My post was mildly sarcastic. I probably should have included a DIS eyeroll...
I agree about the purpose of child support. A real job and a commitment to co-parenting would probably be a good life goal at this point.

Meh. Abstinence only (which is what Ms. Bristol Palin preaches for everyone else) means "don't have sex before marriage" period (this is what SHE preaches, not what I believe). Sorry, Ms. Bristol Palin....I STILL think you are a hypocrite of the highest order. Stop preaching to other people about what "they" should do and follow your own damn rules. And, keep yourself out of everyone else's business and maybe (just maybe) this world would be a better place.
