You brought it here knowing exactly what would happen. You went looking for dirt and found an eRumor then posted that there was an eRumor. You knew that by posting it someone would go searching for it. It just happened to be me this time.
WRONG!
The original rumor was that Sarah Palin was actually raising her daughters child and had not been pregnant herself. How is that even close to the truth that Sarah Palin was in fact pregnant and gave birth to a boy with down syndrome? The fact that her daughter did turn out to be pregnant is a different story entirely since Sarah didn't cover up anything.
Abstinence can work and in fact is the only fool proof form of birth control if it is followed. Other forms of birth control work quite well also, but they have to actually be used as well. The fault isn't with the mother's teachings, it is with the child not following the teachings of her parent.
First off I didn't go looking for dirt anywhere.. it was posted on a webmaster forum I vist, so I dug around a bit to verify that there was some substance behind it prior to posting it here. I found reason to believe it was true and after that I posted there was a eRumor floating around. Given the info that was out there, it was very reasonable to suspect that the youngest baby was the daughters.
Actually if you want the current eRumors is it's still possible that the the youngest baby is still the daughters. The timing is still right for that daughter to have gotten pregnant a second time. Women are very fertile right after they have a kid, so the daughter could have very easily been ripe for a second one.
Then there is the eRumor that the daughters baby daddy is a 26 year old black man named Levi.. (now wouldn't that be funny)
Then of course there is the Dad has a DUI eRumor floating around, must have been partying with Jr Bush.
Now do I believe those eRumors lol well no, but hey you are crying about me posting rumors but at least I dug around and confirmed that it had some substance. I didn't just post some dumb rumor off a blog with out looking for facts myself.
On the last part... sure abstinence "can" work, but it sure as hell didn't work in this case now did it? This is the entire point, the mom don't want sex ed taught in school, she thinks a "abstinence only" policy should be taught in "public" schools along with the intelligent design BS. The very fact that her own daughter couldn't even manage to stay abstinent just proves how wrong her ideas for schools are.
