It's my understanding that Ms Palin is against abortion in all circumstances, including, regardless of the health or life of the mother. If this is true, I wonder what she would do if this pregnancy threatened her daughters life.

Also, on another post a supposed Palin supporter said we should all back off and that the daughter was no child and was quite capable of handling the pregnancy. So, again, I wonder, if the daughter is no longer a child and is capable of managing this pregnancy to term as this supporter alleges, did she make the decision to keep this baby? Did she consider any other option? Did she have any other option? O.K., realisticlly, in this family, no doubt, there was only one option. Still it would be interesting to hear the private thoughts of this teenager on the matter.

Just wondering.

She says she is against abortion unless the mothers life or health is in danger. She said that for her own daughters she would want them to carry the child to term even in the case of rape. She has never publically said whether she thinks other women should be "forced" to carry a child of rape to term.

You might want to check to see if Alaska has parental consent laws. If they don't, then there is a high probability that Bristol took the problem to her parents freely.
