Sandy Kerner of La Mesa, California wrote this letter to the San Diego Union Tribune:
"As soon as Sarah Palin allows me the freedom to choose how my family handles reproductive issues, I'll allow her privacy in how she handles hers.
"Until then, it's a fair topic of conversation."
Mat Wahlstrom of San Diego had this to say:
"...[Palin's] 17-year-old daughter... is the same teen they've been making take care of the candidate's own special-needs newborn..."
Blogger's note: I think some teens become pregnant as a cry for help without realizing that having a child is a serious matter. I hope Palin will get some help for her pregnant daughter, who missed five to eight months of school last year due to a case of mononucleosis.
Bristol is clearly not as tough as her mom, who flew in April from Texas to Alaksa, and then drove for several hours more, while being in labor all the while! Apparently Palin's water broke soon after giving a speech in the Longhorn state. It seems Palin didn't trust the obstetricians in Texas, or the ones in Anchorage. She believed she was better off in an airplane, and then a car!
In the light of personal experience, I hope Palin will rethink her stand on abstinence-only sex education and her big budget cuts to funds to support pregnant teens. If we have abstinence-only sex education, we need MORE support for pregnant teens.
