Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol, had her baby in December. Shortly after, she and her fiance broke up. Then in February, the single 18-year-old did an interview for Fox in which she said that abstinence is "not realistic at all". Granted the statement was made in passing.
Not that she's different from most other teens. And not that teen-pregnancy is such a great catastrophe. What gives me that sensation of the being narrowly missed by an out-of-control semi truck is her mother's incompetency, the depths of which we still apparently have not discovered, as demonstrated in her inability to pass on her ultra-right-wing worldview to her closest family members. And John McCain's inexcusable, uncritical, highest-possible-stakes gamble in selecting her for a running mate.
