Quote of the Day: William Saletan.

No, really.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  September 3rd, 2008 at 09:06 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

As Ace notes, Saletan bent over backward to keep Chelsea Clinton off of the list; but Ace also notes that he probably had to, in order to get the basic argument published. So be it.

Saletan, walking through recent single daughters-of-candidates-and-Presidents/VPs, their surprising lack of pregnancies, and the reason why it’s surprising, finishes up with the rather harsh conclusion:

>

If any of these daughters conceived, but no pregnancy or birth was reported, what happened? One possibility is miscarriage. But the Guttmacher analysis suggests a different answer: Most unintended pregnancies in the higher income and education brackets end in abortion.

Remember that before you judge or poke fun at Sarah Palin. She’s not the candidate whose daughter messed up. She’s the candidate who didn’t get rid of the mess.

Bolding mine: we seem to be having an influx of people not willing to take the point.

    I almost puked my corn flakes out while watching the Today show yesterday. I don’t know who this guy was but he was saying girls like Bristol Palin should be having fun, going to movies and doing things kids do, not having babies. ? So BHO would tell his 17 year old daughter to have an abortion so she could play and go to the movies? BHO was born to an out of wedlock 18 year old mother. 47 years ago we did not have the pinheads we do now that run the MSM.
    My mother was 19 when I was born. I am 50 now and we have a very close relationship. Bristol Palin and her family will be all the stronger for the media attention they are getting. 25 years ago my best friend got his soon to be wife pregnant. They aborted. Years later he told me that was the biggest mistakes of their lives. They went on to have two children. 10 years ago my friend committed suicide. No one knew the exact cause but his wife said he had battled depression on and off for years after their daughter was born.

    Izoneguy, you’ve just pointed out why the issue of Bristol is really a non-issue against Sarah but an issue that contradicts Obama’s story.

    Is left forces this issue, the discussion will end up in a conclusion that Obama should have been aborted by his mom.

    Is she the only young lady to ever find herself in the motherly way?
    But by the Grace of GOD there go 99.9% of the Nations unwed ladys of the Country.
    By the way since when is abortion the most recomended source of BIRTH CONTROL?
