Teen Pregnancy: the new little black dress

We've all heard the news that Bristol Palin, the 17-year old daughter of the (shudder) Republican candidate for VP, is with child. Clearly, the Alaskan uterus is hardy and robust (probably hunts moose, too) and even the strongest evangelical upbringing is powerless to stop it in its quest to spawn. 

Senator Obama and many fellow liberal elites have taken a strong stance against going after Sarah Palin's children, in particular the new Mommy-to-be.  It would be cruel and pointless for the Elitist to mock Bristol or her parents for this particular episode. After all, it's not like this doesn't happen every day. Teenagers have sex and get pregnant. And I'm sure Govenor Palin and her family appreciate that we live in the kind of free society where every young woman has the opportunity to choose whether to terminate the pregnancy or...maybe not so much?

The Elitist would just like to leave you this out-of-context quote found on a comment board at a Focus on the Family blog.

When it comes to teen pregnancy, if they show all the negative downers, more people will want abortions. If they show the cute beautiful babies, fewer abortions may happen, but perhaps more teens will be less paranoid about unwed pregnancy, and less careful about their sins.

Make it look good, ladies. Teen Pregnancy is the new little black dress.
