Bristol Palin Daughter of Sarah Palin Is Pregnant

Bristol Palin, the 17-year-old daughter of Republican Vice-Presidential pick Sarah Palin, is pregnant!Bristol Palin’s parents, Sarah and Todd Palin, issued the following statement this morning:“Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support. Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi’s privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates.”

Bristol is due in late December, and plans on marrying her boyfriend, Levi, the father of her unborn child.The announcement of Bristol being pregnant was in response to quell the rumors that Bristol was actually the mother of Trig Palin, the 5-month-old son of Sarah and Todd Palin.Senator McCain was made aware of Bristol’s pregnancy before he chose Sarah Palin as his Vice-Presidential nominee last week.Barack Obama was asked about 17-year-old Bristol’s pregnancy, and he told reporters to “back off” this story and children are “off limits”.“It has no relevance to Gov. Palin’s performance as governor, or her potential performance as a vice president.”So fine, the story is out, and we need to move on. Is this really going to have a bearing on how you will vote?
