Bristol and Sarah Palin: Not Exactly Role Models
See here
Not every teenage mom has a wealthy and famous parent to bail them out of their self induced situation. Just as Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich, with their six combined marraiges, have no right to lecture Americans about family values, the Palin's should not hold themselves up as examples of what is right and moral.
How many young women will be having children before they are ready, using the justification that "the Palins did it, why can't I?"
The fallacy of abstinence education is self evident, but the wealth of the Palin family gives young Bristol plenty of bucks to fall back on as she begins her path through motherhood (without the father of the baby).
Role models? Hardly.
