It is easy to give birth to 4 kids, the world population is 6 billion. All u need to do is have sex. It is tough to raise kids who will make responsible decisions and who are can make this world a better place for everybody. Bristol is a teenager and teens make mistakes and , the fault lies with her stupid mother who could'nt raise /teach her kids properly inspite of having access to enormous clout and wealth. GOP thinks she is their FUTURE leader. hahahaha I would rather give my vote to parents who raise kids like Chelsea or the Obamas. If u dont know how to raise your own kids, how will u know how to take care of our country. The conservatives keep harping the fact that this dumb palin has raised 4 kids.

My wife and I are pro-choice, however, if any of our 4 daughters had an unplanned pregnancy we would have backed any decision they made. Preferably that would have meant having and keeping the child.

A child of a teenage mother has an increased likelihood of suffering from abuse, medical problems, juvenile delinquency, poverty, drug addiction, and so forth. From a public policy point of view, teenage pregnancy should not be encouraged. Many of the posters here seem to think this is a wonderful and blessed thing. Obviously, with wealthy and famous parents, this particular child will probably do well, and I am happy about that fact. But to encourage this behavior and to say it is fantastic is simply ridiculous. The prognosis for a teen mother and her child is far worse than for a mother in her 20s or 30s.
