Even with Palin's anti-abortion pro-chastity stance, the whole Bristol issue should maybe have been off limits. Where I think it tripped up was when attendees at the convention, and Palin's own statement talked about how wonderful it was to add to the family and that Bristol would have to "grow up" much faster.
Because, don't you know, unwed teen mothers are the Solomons of our age.
I think a much smarter reponse would have been, "we love her, it's a family issue, thank you."
Not, "Jamie Lynn Spears has had to face this....."
