Bristol Palin, the 18 year-old daughter of Alaska governor and former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, introduced Fox News viewers to her son, Tripp and discussed teen motherhood with Greta Van Susteran this weekend.
While her mom has publicly supported the failed abstinence-only-until-marriage policy, Bristol said “everyone should be abstinent but it’s not realistic… [sex] is more and more accepted among kids my age.”
Even her mom seems to have had a change of heart, saying about abstinence-until-marriage, “It sounds naive. Life happens.”
This seems like a perfect place to find common ground with conservatives: comprehensive sex education is a way to prevent teen pregnancy and promote positive sexuality. 25 governors, several federal studies, and rising teen birth and STI rates suggest we need a change of course. But, it's even more compelling to hear it from the mouth of a young woman who knows firsthand what some education could do.
So, who's going to ask Bristol if she'd like to blog for Amplify?
