Being an advocate for special needs children when you are not a parent of one sends a different message.

Justthisguy: so who pays Governor Palin's salary to support her kid who didn't practice the abstinence mama preaches? Dude, she IS the G-D government! I do feel sorry for the kids and grandkid to be: it is a NIGHTMARE to be related to a politician these days. God bless them all, every one. CS: Amen!

Life is complex. People's lives are at stake. For instance, Gov. Palin slashed the budget this year to help unwed, homeless teen mothers. A program that was meant to give them a little stability to allow them to complete school, get an education and hopefully be able to be employed. Not every baby is born to a teen daughter of a governor. You can punish the parents all you want, but in the end, your punishing that baby, a baby that was perhaps conceived by two irresponsible teens. The mainstream values I support is not one where we leave the disadvantaged to twist in the wind, but give them help, like the governor's daughter is getting. Justthisguy,

Circumstances alter cases. Hard cases make bad law. Chill, dude! On the shotgun wedding: Yup, it's better that bride's daddy (or mommy) enforce child-support than that the God-Damned State do so!

On the shotgun wedding: Yup, it’s better that bride’s daddy (or mommy) enforce child-support than that the God-Damned State do so!

The guy said he didn't want any kids. what happens in the case of a rape victim. Palin wants to outlaw abortion even if the fetus results from a rape. If that victim is poor or say disabled either before or after the rape, will you blame her as wanting the state to act as "daddy". Is that part of your mainstream values?

They're complaining about single mothers using the State as "Daddy", while the actual male progenitor may well be never seen again. Levi is obviously going to marry and support Bristol and the kid, or else. (Sarah's a good shot.) Oh, Barack's Mom was 17 when she bore him, I believe, while his male progenitor was married to somebody else. It’s not hypocrisy.

However the date of the picture and Trig's birth would have meant Trig's gestation period was elephantine. I've also seen posts stating that Palin's intelligence is suspect because she decided to have Trig despite knowing of his condition. Certainly with his mother as VP, Trig would have access to the best services. There are often associated heart defects where these services might be useful The capabilities of Down's syndrome bearers varies widely. We have no idea how or to what degree it will affect Trig.
