Come on Will. Let's not be silly. Palin's daughter is a unique individual on this earth, and she makes her own choices.

Some people are pressured into marriage, but it's not common anymore.

I wish someone else would tell you how your argument is coming across. I know a guy getting married and he doesn't even remember proposing.

Do you think President Obama would support and love his daughter regardless of what she decided to do if she became pregnant?

I remember him making a comment about an unwanted pregnancy being the biggest mistake his daughter could make in her life. Imagine how she would approach him if she actually got pregnant after hearing that- she wouldn't!!!!
Imagine Obama's grandchild watching a You tube video were his grand-father suggests that the grandchild ruined his mother's life.
Empathy?!?

I disagree. A person's convictions takes them to who they really are, under pressure or stress is when you can asses someone's true convictions. I have seen Palin under pressure and in stressful situations, I have read accounts of the same. Certainly, I could be wrong and can mis-read a person - but when I think I am right about a person, I would literally bet my life on it.
I got married the first time when I was 22. I did not really know her and she did not know me, even though we dated for about 3 years. We were different. We found out the hard way. My current wife and I got married when I was 35, our core values and convictions are the same. We can disagree on many things, but she knows my core and I know hers. There are no surprises and will be no surprises between us. I am not talking about romantic surprises, I am talking about how she or I would respond in situations of stress and pressure. When I say a person has "no convictions", it can be misleading to state it that way. Some people hide them or are deceitful about their convictions - that is the foundation of problems.
