Bristol Palin Discusses Teen Pregnancy and Motherhood on the Today Show

[sweetsweatyfeet]

Like it or not, teens will have sex because they are sexual beings with normal healthy biological urges. NOT teaching them effective contraception is the worst thing to do if you want to avoid pregnancy.

[TornTesticle]

Fucking brilliant! Let's have hoes like her running around making money sharing the tale of how she fucked up. There are millions of "Baby's Mommas" out there. People know how to fuck up, it's the easiest thing to do.

Why not showcase kids that fore·go fucking off and graduate medical school or something similar? The world needs more PSAs covering successes rather than failures.

Oh well, fuck it, drama pays the bills I suppose....

[erictheactorsactor]

she's as dumb as her mother, but definitely smarter than her brother, although he is much stronger than both of them.

[lewis22tk]

What does Levi Johnston thinks about this? 

[bluepinkyellogreen]

Did you even read my last message? How dare she tell other girls the same message she was told (abstinence only) when IT DOES NOT WORK. Originally she said that abstinence was UNREALISTIC. I think that is being hypocritical. And i agree. REAL people do learn form their mistakes. BY telling other girls to do EXACTLY the same thing she was told to do that got her pregnant ISN'T learning from your mistakes.

[05mjdubb]

@bluepinkyellogreen - She can dare tell people whatever she wants b/c it's HER opinion and ad campaign. She has been through a difficult experience, learned a lesson from it, and changed her views. What's wrong with that? Absolutely nothing. If she were STILL having sex and ended up with a second baby THEN she would be a hypocrite, but she apparently won't. She simply changed her ways b/c of a lesson learned. Very mature and strong on her part. You don't understand the word hypocrite.

[bluepinkyellogreen]

@05mjdubb I say how dare she because no matter how much i dislike it people look up to her... She is a role model to young girls. She has a platform, shes on reality T.V shes been in gossip magazines. She says to be abstinent and is preaching abstinence only and saying its the right thing to do, when after she herself was blasted with that message she went of and had sex and got pregnant. Also she SAID that abstinence only is UNREALISTIC originally, even she admitted it.

[bluepinkyellogreen]

@05mjdubb Secondly "05mjdubb" i am honestly sick of this argument. Lets just agree to disagree shall we? I have better things to do with my time then argue with you. Also i don't see why u had to make this thing an attack on me calling me a "twat" sayings i'm immature and i don't understand the meaning of basic words. Go find someone else to annoy. If u enjoy these little internet debates i suggest in future you keep it about the issue, not the person ur having the debate with. hmmm?

[05mjdubb]

@bluepinkyellogreen - Who said this was an argument? I'm simply stating the truth. =)

[bluepinkyellogreen]

I am sorry. She is being TOTALLLLLLY hypocritical. She says that shes going to choose to be abstinent until marriage. . . well TOO late. She is pushing a message that dosen't work and she is LIVING proof of it. Abstinence only education doesn't decrease the the teen pregnancy rate, infact in areas where abstinence only edu is taught the birth the rate is higher then areas with more comprehensive sex edu programs

[05mjdubb]

@bluepinkyellogreen - So people can't learn from their mistakes? You sound very judgemental and young. Real adults learn from their mistakes and change their lives for the better. Maybe you should try it. What a judgemental twat.

[bluepinkyellogreen]

@05mjdubb I'm not saying that SHE cannot choose to be abstinent, but the fact that she telling others to be abstinent is hypocritical. Originally she even came out saying that abstinence only was 'unrealistic'. And i'm judgmental and immature. . . Atleast i never called anyone a twat. . .

[05mjdubb]

@bluepinkyellogreen - I have to call it like I see it. You're acting like a judgmental, immature twat. Sorry. Real people learn from their mistakes and do something different the next time. It's a sign of maturity. To dwell on things she did in the past and call her a hypocrit makes it seem as if you're just looking for something dramatic to say. What's wrong with saying "Look I did this, I messed up, don't do it." That seems like a very adult way of conveying a lesson learned to me.

[threepercenter03]

It must be difficult to live in ur little worlds where all you have is hate and spite for others... it's sad, but in an embarrassing way, not a pity-filled way. Bloggers with nothing but anger for those who've never crossed paths with you and yet you talk as if you're scorned. Cancer will eventually clear the Earth of ppl like u.

[ddd1902]

Bristol made a choice. She now realizes it wasn't the correct choice, however she loves her son like there's no tomorrow and would, like any parent, lay down her life for her son. She, however, wishes she could have waited 5 or so more years, so, like she said in teh video, she could have had a stable job and relationship. She is speaking out so that other teens don't make the same mistake that she did. Not to be a hypocrite.

[itsmebiotch1000]

This bitch pisses me off. I wish she was here so I could kick her ass.

[goshockrohit]

its a shame how shes using her son in her photo shoots to get more limelight....i mean its like ur treating ur son/daughter as a trend or fashion of the week or something....bitches like these dont deserve to represent woman....

[yoeman45]

@goshockrohit Wow, but it's ok for mother's to send there kids off to act in movies and tv and that's not exploitation by the parent you need to think before you post,and I didn't even use profanity when talking about these mothers using there kids to make money

[goshockrohit]

@yoeman45 hey when parents send their kids, its for THEM..they become famous, the kids.not the parents. she is representative of teen pregnancy prevention and she starts her campaign by photoshooting for vogue with her son!!!!

[GhettoBlaster100]

Maybe they should use a FUCKING CONDOM!

[GhettoBlaster100]

how are you his sole provider? you have your mommy. You betcha

[1BustedMyth]

Geee it must hurt to be so conservative and then have your unmarried, teenage daughter get pregnant TWICE!

God bless em

[yoeman45]

@1BustedMyth  WOW, your ignorance is staggering

[1BustedMyth]

@yoeman45 , Wow, your sooo funny! not

[MirraSyren]

2:52 That baby looks like effing psycho! Shesh, I'm going to have serious nightmares tonight, -gawd, that really freaked me out ::(.

[dsrsp]

Just use a fucking condom you fucking idiots!!! C'mon.. wake up stupid assholes!!

[laurabellbundyfanxox]

Omg, STOP bringing politics in this. Bristol is not talking about them, she's talking about teen pregnancy and her being a mom. not one time does she usually talk about being president or senator or what she wants to change in the usa. if you wanna talk about SARAH palin and not BRISTOL palin go watch a SARAH palin video. you shouldn't judge bristol based on her mom sarah because they're too completely different people/

[sweetamoreee]

i know her. she's an idiot. when she went to my school she partied all the time, same with willow. my friend actually smoked weed with willow like two months ago. family of racist hypocrites

[lestersimmons82]

we both own, not rent a home, and in California! shocked! that's because despite us being liberals, we took responsibility for ourselves and knew that having a kid would cost an arm and a leg, it's not rocket science!!! Instead of changing diapers buying formula taking kid(s) to private school and telling brats to shut the hell up, we're paying off our mortgage and almost debt free! six words, Foreclosure! abstinence or condoms, stay single!

[lestersimmons82]

Obama is still gonna be president 2 more years, regardless of what happens tonight in the midterm election. Come on do you want a president who quit as Alaska governor? How is she gonna handle running a country? I respect Obama, he never quit. Palin in 2012? that is my worst nightmare.

[fauxanarchist]

If this was some Hollywood-Disney Channel stick up the ass, never done wrong role-model preaching, you Libtard ass-clowns would applause her message!! But, it's easier to be a brainless tool of the Hate Palin DNC club!! So, 2012 will be ur biggest let down and ur most obvious down-fall...enjoy this Obamanation float ur riding...it's gonna rain on ur parade soon!!!

[fauxanarchist]

Let's clear up the confusion for all you block-heads!! It's NOT hypocritical to educate others if you have experience!! Take your sour grapes and go watch some more tv and stay off the net.

[Zenicide]

at least shes better at interviews than her mother

[Gyro911]

Thats hypocritical, she was sexually active without protection as a teenager which is irresponsible so she's now telling other not too? Besides she has a rich family to support her so she really has no real struggles in this situation

[msfoxyfoss]

Bristol is an outstanding young adult who is taking responsablity for her actions. We all know having sex as a teenager, or at any age, can result in pregnancy. And regardless of social class or anything else, teens just aren't educated or prepared enough about the issue. American families shun the idea of talking to their children about sex, thinking it's the school system's place to provide the info. I too was a teenage mother and speak from experience. Good job Bristol, let the world know!

[tristaneAlexandria]

I dont understand how she's being a hypocrite. She knows how hard being a teen mother is and wants to help educate teens in preventing from getting in the same situation. May will argue that b/c her family has money and is in politics its not a financial struggle but if youve seen the PSA she mentions thats others arent as fortunate and its hard. So stop judging her!

[Gyro911]

@tristaneAlexandria She's a hypocrite that she comes from a rich well known family that can support her while most other teenage moms in her situation dont. She has no clue about financial stuggles and i bet she has a nanny taking care of her kid while she does Dancing with the stars and all these other high profile media events

[ichelleray]

@tristaneAlexandria she's being a hypocrite because she got knocked up and she has the audacity to tell other girls they should stay abstinent when bristol did the exact opposite. it ISN'T hard for her to raise the kid. thanks to her mom and the fact that she's getting paid an unnecessary amount of money for her hypocritical speeches, she is set for life. compared to other teen moms, she has it easy.

[fauxanarchist]

@ichelleray so, who should tell others about making mistakes? the perfect people?

oh wait, they don't exist!!

[ichelleray]

@fauxanarchist no one said anyone was perfect, but she shouldn't be telling other girls to be abstinent when she wasn't, and for her to uphold those standards on others is unrealistic and she would definitely know that.

[fauxanarchist]

@ichelleray so you want to go back to the old days of nuns teaching our kids about sex ed? a woman who's never known first hand what child bearing is and it's effects on life shouldn't be the only example to our education. I want to hear about life's unfortunate events from those who've "been there, done that"...not some stick up their ass role model that only recites what they've learned from books. If ur just another Palin Hater, quit and go away!!

[ichelleray]

@fauxanarchist not at all. i don't think abstinence should be taught ONLY and that's what bristol palin was doing. if she had spread the word of abstinence and other forms of contraceptives, then i'd be okay with that, and before you attack me and say that she once WAS pro-contraception, yes i'm fully aware of that but she then changed her mind and said abstinence is the only way. and no, i don't hate bristol palin, but i am angry that she's making thousands of dollars for her speeches.

[fauxanarchist]

@ichelleray Hate the game, NOT the player!!

[ichelleray]

@fauxanarchist again, never said i hated her, but yes i do hate the "game".

[05mjdubb]

@tristaneAlexandria - Just about any other person in her position, having a parent running for the presidency, would have aborted the baby. Bristol isn't a hypocrite - she made the right choice.

[MsMarchPixie]

@tristaneAlexandria she doesn't know how hard it is being a teen mom. Candies and everyone else who represents, should use people who REALLY experience the hardships of being a teen mom. NO normal teen mom can buy a house in AZ at her age...she's a windbag, like her mother

[MsCrazyCuckoo]

@tristaneAlexandria If she doesn't want to be judged she can just give up public speaking about her life. And charging thousands of dollars a time for it.

[Imthatgirl1995]

ok stop, bristol made a mistake! shes trying to prevent others from making that mistake! stfu bristol is an idol to me to just stfu you don't know what your talking about :@!

[jacknuts22]

Unless a cock is getting shoved in it, this dumb bitch should keep her mouth shut.

[fauxanarchist]

@jacknuts22 Sometimes Freedom of Speech is ruined by retards with nothing better to say!! The Right to Free Speech isn't intended to annoy ur peers, just allows you to express opinion without Govt intervention. Don't spoil the punch bowl with ur sour grapes!!

[lestersimmons82]

if my sister met her, i'd probably have to restrain her, nah, i'll let her loose and watchher knock her out. We both think the Palins are hypocrites, thank God we vote democrat! 4 more years of Obama!

[fauxanarchist]

@lestersimmons82 Another typical Libtard that doesn't have the brains that God gave goats!! Should use ur mouth for Obama's toilet...at least the shit going in could help prevent the shit coming out!!

[lestersimmons82]

bristol palin, oh, hi bitch!

[skeevystoner]

Yuck prego teens! what a waste of good pussy... such a tragedy. And my god her Baby is ugly!! I have had drunk shits that look better than that kid. Oh and Bristol 1969 called, they want there baby names back.

[fauxanarchist]

@skeevystoner one can only expect these lame as ur dick comments from ur mouth. Another band wagon hater lashes out at a Palin...what a shock, how original!! You suck Obama's cock with that filthy mouth, bitch?!

[lestersimmons82]

@skeevystoner ah , well said! , my sister and I are 26 and 28 and we don't have kids, we're not idiots, stupid teens, having kids while in high school,

[TurkishButcher]

She looks down.

[shialover777]

im a 16 year old girl and its confusing for me when they started talking with bristol about being a teen mom and she asks bristol what tripp"s first sentence was and how cute he is, because to me they are sending the opposite message...they are glamorizing teen pregnancy.

[trumplayer123]

@shialover777 very true

[rodmanian]

@shialover777 You're absolutely right!

[fauxanarchist]

@shialover777 use ur brain instead of ur libido and don't idolize teen pregnancy as cute or trendy!! u have the rest of ur life to take care of others, now is the time to take care of urself!!

[kdeerslayer]

your name says it all ohiodumocrat !! you drag politics into everything ! dems have no morals so they think they can do no wrong ... fools !!

[trumplayer123]

@kdeerslayer fuck you

[kdeerslayer]

@trumplayer123 

[Jordynmh101]

So what if a former drug user went around doing basically what Bristol is doing by saying it's not the most wise choice, would you consider that person being a hypocrite or would you applaud them for showing what can happen if they do drugs what it can cause? I mean they basically have the same message but you will call Bristol all these names because she is Sarah Palins daughter. Would you have the same reaction to a former drug user saying don't do drugs?

[carolryann]

@Jordynmh101 Are you equating drug use to pregnancy? If a celebrity who had been a drug user was speaking out against drugs, sincerely, and not trying to compare their struggles with those of someone lacking the financial means to be palced in a swanky rehab, that would be one thing, but Bristol Palin has no struggles, no difficulties and no real concerns other than teh fact that people know the truth about her position on celibacy.

[carolryann]

@carolryann Anyone who thinks her promoting celibacy is anything but something her mother pushed for is a fool. Bristol is her mother's little puppet so she can stay on the family gravy train.

[fauxanarchist]

@carolryann Ur the Palin spokesperson? U came here to educate us all? Thank you for another Libtard cookie cutter opinion of someone u don't know jack about!!

Go back to ur Obama blow up doll and put all ur hot air to better use!!!

[carolryann]

@fauxanarchist How about this sweetheart, why don't you get an education, maybe a GED? Learn English before you decide you want to "school" someone else. U is a letter, not a word, UR is also not a word. If you don't like my opinion, so be it, your sub intellectual response matters not to me. You are in fact a prime example of the sort to support the likes of Palin and her ilk. You are a sad sad creature.

[fauxanarchist]

@carolryann ur obviously clueless!!!!! My text is an acceptable form of correspondence...hence why it's used. It saves time telling cunt-stains like u how lame u are by ur pathetic attacks on social personalities whom u don't even know!!! If all u care about is grammar, then go teach and stop judging!!

I support the Palins' right to speak!!! It's what this country was founded on!!!

[carolryann]

@fauxanarchist Note which one of us has to resort to using foul language? The palins have every right to speak their peace, like everyone else. I never said anyone did not have that right. Try rereading my post before you respond again.

[fauxanarchist]

@carolryann People like u boil my eggs 'cause u attack someone, then when ur attacked, u play possum.

[carolryann]

@fauxanarchist Play possum? Really.. when and where did I say anyone could not express themselves freely? And how exactly am I playing possum? If you are looking for someone who is going to rant and become unreasonable, if my not doing that means I am playing possum, so be it. There is no point in attempting to have a rational discussion with the functionally illiterate. Have a nice day.

[Efferts]

"Why is the message so important to you?"

Replace "message" with "money". $15-30k per advertisement she makes. What "difficulty" is she referring? Her family's worth more since after their failed election. Hundreds of thousands of single teen moms in the nation but Bristol's the idol due to celebrity from her mother.

[carolryann]

Is this a joke? Bristol Palin telling girls they should be abstinent instead of pushing for contraception?  Holy crap!!! She has teh nerve to say her being a "single mom and teen mother" is extremely difficult? Please, as if Moose Hunt Barbie isn't paying for everything for her spawn. What bullshit.

[trumplayer123]

@carolryann I agree

[Hdtexan]

What a sweet little Mini-Me CUNT. Like mother like daughter....these famewhores will do or say anything for another buck or five minutes of fame.

Is she finally using protection? I know she's getting government subsidised health care. Can we force her to be spayed?

[redeemed1920]

@Hdtexan Well aren't you just a warm ray of sunshine.

[Sugarfexx]

@redeemed1920  lol

[OhioDemocrat]

Bristol Palin is a hypocrite.

[redeemed1920]

@OhioDemocrat Yeah. And so are all the former druggies who tell kids not to use drugs. Blah, blah, blah.

[OhioDemocrat]

@redeemed1920

At least you dont deny Bristol Palin is a hypocrite.

[fauxanarchist]

@OhioDemocrat who better to educate the masses then someone who's been there, done that? u want some stick-up-their-ass virgin telling other's "just say no to sex" ? it's more credible from someone that has gone through this...

[OhioDemocrat]

@fauxanarchist I don’t believe abstinences only works. It never has and never will. No matter who tell the lie.

[05mjdubb]

@OhioDemocrat - You're a democrat from Ohio. I think that speaks for itself.

[OhioDemocrat]

@05mjdubb You know , the state that elected Obama.

[05mjdubb]

@OhioDemocrat - Once again...Res ipsa loquitur. ;-)
