Our abstinence correspondent Formerly Fundamentalist has more on Bristol Palin:
Graduated Bristol Palin and poster baby of pro-life, son Tripp, take the cover of People magazine this week. The accompanying article doesn't reveal anything new about a middle class teen's life post-giving-birth.
The overall message (as is consistent with the GOP platform – minus Megan McCain – she loves loves loves sex if you hadn't heard): Don't have sex, kids. It will ruin you're effin' life.
But anyone who's been to youth group has heard this message. It was one I took to heart and vagina. And despite a few successful blow jobs, I eventually walked down the aisle a technical virgin. All data would indicate that I was then, and am now MORE SO, the exception to the rule. Luckily, the guilt of the Lord kept me cleanish in the ways of sex. However, thinking about my teen mindset steeped in id, I didn't hear much else.
My point is the inherent flaw of teenagers is their inability to fully understand the consequences of their actions. This is why you equip them with knowledge of how to proceed safely in lieu of scaring them into "abstinence" (which includes, possibly, unsafe anal).
Yes, Bristol, you have the screaming baby of nightmares to showcase your bad decisions. What do most teens have? A throbbing libido demanding attention and the ego which informs them "it won't happen to me."
Trixie's note: How tired are we of stuff like this?
If girls – and guys – realized the consequences of sex, they'd realize they should use protection.End of story. Aargh! My point is the inherent flaw of teenagers is their inability to fully understand the consequences of their actions.

"If girls realized the consequences of sex, nobody would be having sex," says Bristol, sitting at her parents' lakeside patio table. "Trust me. Nobody."

Good point about teenagers being inherently flawed! That should be on a t-shirt. I can't wait for this baby to grow up and read all about his mommy telling national news outlets what a giant mistake he was. That would make me feel good.
"If girls realised the consequences of sex no one would be having it" wow Bristol did you miss the sex education class at school, oh that's right you probably didn't get any sex education! But surely you must have wondered before where you and other babies came from? Most girls aren't as dim as you and know that babies don't exist without having sex! (okay well I guess some are IVF too!)
The question I'd like to ask Bristol is did she like sex? Is she willing to never have it again until she is married? By the way Bristol sex in marriage can lead to babies too! The only way to avoid having a baby is to stay celibate until menopause. Wonder if your husband would be so understanding about that!
So yes you're right babies can be the consequence of sex just like driving in a car can lead to an accident, but you know what I don't give up driving just because it could lead to an accident instead I prepare and I drive as safely as possible and wear a seatbelt!
