The pregnant teenage girl and the boy responsible get married. You will _rarely_ find criticism when that happens.

That has *always* been the conservative position in America. It recognizes the regrettable situation and supports the solution that is the best for all concerned. If the girl and boy don’t do that, they can expect to encounter disapproval and criticism.

The pointed criticism is always towards single teenagers who have babies and then don’t do the responsible thing, by getting married. (It’s often the boy’s fault, who has no intention of restricting his harem-scarum ways in the local neighborhood. I suspect the blame is not fairly divided.)

Many of those girls come from broken families themselves, which makes the situation even more desperate for her and the child or children.

‘There was an article citing white privilege as being why Sarah Palin’s daughter is defended by conservatives while at the same time conservatives frown upon teenage pregnancy amongst blacks.’

I don’t think she is being defended by conservatives for getting pregnant out of wedlock – she is being defended for her decision to have the child instead of aborting it. There is no priviledge – of any race – in becoming a parent in high school.

Jawats/Jonathan:

About halfway down Book’s main page, to the right, is a small search text dialog.
You can enter, say, abortion, and do a search. If you ignore those results that are suffixed with “comments”, you’ll see links for each of Book’s posts that reference abortion.

This is a recent one that explains a lot more about the traditional Jewish thought on abortion that Book has mentioned in the post above.

Ms. Bookworm,

I’ve recently stumbled upon your website, and look forwards to reading it. I am especially curious about your stance on abortion, and hope you will post more so that I can learn about it.

Sincerely,

Jonathan

If conservatives want to go around castigating out of wedlock conceptions, that’s more than half the country right there.

Jacksonians don’t particularly care when you give birth, so long as the father is around and a good sort.

There was an article citing white privilege as being why Sarah Palin’s daughter is defended by conservatives while at the same time conservatives frown upon teenage pregnancy amongst blacks.

Course, the fact that teenage pregnancy amongst blacks equals single motherhood, which is bad, economically for the mother and child as well as the moral upbringing of the child, doesn’t count.

Gkong3 – I’m sorry that you read condemnation in my words – especially since my last words were ‘been there and done that.’

Marguerite;

While I believe it is a mistake to celebrate an out-of-wedlock, teenage pregnancy

I agree most vehemently! Unless it was the Immaculate Conception, or the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ, I completely agree!

And when you find evidence that anybody from the right, or even the Palins themselves, have done such a thing anywhere, anytime, feel free to add my condemnation to yours.

Until then, you might wanna keep that thought in reserve…

The mask is slipping. We can see inside ourselves with incredible detail, and the empty arguments of 50+ year old bitter hags and their ilk only highlight the problem with this particular ‘choice.’

The vitriol just ooozes like hot lava out of this loathesome man. While hatred is an equal opportunity emotion, I never see this level of bile from the right and I needed to respond. I think people on the left want and like to believe that pro-life people are mean and narrow and it drives them to distraction that their image has been proven false. While I believe it is a mistake to celebrate an out-of-wedlock, teenage pregnancy, the Palins are certainly to be commended for sticking together as a family and choosing to love and support their daughter in a difficult time. Been there and done that.
