Palin spokeswoman: Bristol will ‘focus’ on ‘advocating abstinence.’

sarahbristol.jpgOn Monday, the Tyra Banks Show will air an interview with Levi Johnson, Bristol Palin’s former fiancé and father of her child. Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK), through a spokeswoman, lashed out at Levi for “engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distortion of their relationship.” The spokeswoman also said Bristol would focus on “advocating abstinence”:

Bristol’s focus will remain on raising Tripp, completing her education, and advocating abstinence,” [spokeswoman Meghan] Stapleton continues. “It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well being of the child.”

However, in a February interview with Fox News, Bristol told Greta van Susteren, “[E]veryone should be abstinent or whatever, but it’s not realistic at all.” Indeed, as a form of birth control, advocating abstinence simply doesn’t work.

    “Don’t be like Levi and leave your genes with someone else!”

    Eh?…eh?

    I know…it’s a gift…


  5. Wayne Ant Schneider says:

    Why would Bristol Palin go around advocating a position she has already publicly said “isn’t realistic at all”?

    And why does the right continue to promote the lie that abstinence education is the best sex education a young, hormone-filled teen could get?

    I hope that everywhere Bristol goes to do this advocating, there’s someone there to publicly denounce her message as being wrong and, in her particular case, hypocritical.

    Levi, his mother, Todd, his half-sister, Bristol, Sarah . . . trailer trash . . . all trailer trash.


  7. sscncturn64 says:

    Teaching abstinence is unrealistic, Bristol got it right the first time. In this day and age how can anyone be against teaching safe sex in our schools. Its usually the uptight right wing religeous people who are against it. They think by teaching safe sex then your promoting it. Its rediculous, teenagers are a horney bunch, just like most of us were.
    They are going to expirement, so why not keep them safe.

  15. Another Joe says:

    Again – like all the repug/neocon hypocracy that gets posted here – what any of these morons say is meaningless.

    The real problem is the MSM that will “catapult the propaganda” and give these lying liars credibility to the “backwash” that supported dur chimpfurher to the very end.

    They don’t need to actually generate majority support, they just need to create the illusion that there is a “silent majority” of “highly energized” voters.

    Bold-faced lies and the lying liars that tell them are only useful because of the way the media creates an echo chamber for them.

  18. nofltwlt says:

    If Bristol gets pregnant again out of wedlock it will be no surprise to me. She is following the lead of her mother despite the fact that she not long ago indicated that she did not thing abstinence was a good option.


  19. GeorgeM says:

    Well if it doesn’t work, it’s hypocritical and can be tied to some xtian cult, then of COURSE she should advocate abstinence. Sounds like solid repugnican principles to me.

    I visited my Roman Catholic church across the street last weekend. And I was SO moved by the beauty, the power, the inspiring words of the Pope, that when I saw the open maw of the Offertory Box, I was COMPELLED to give.

    So I dropped in a couple condoms!

    That was Sat morning. Then Sunday i went back and donated a couple more with a nice note.


  20. Wayne Ant Schneider says:

    joe cantwell,

    I think I understand.

    And I don’t mean to nitpick a fellow liberal, but you are conflating two different George Orwell stories.

    “Four legs good, two legs bad” was “Animal Farm” (another great story.)

    “Newspeak” was from “1984″ (another great story.)

    But I get your point. Today’s Republican Party (who I will no longer call “conservatives”, because people I respect, like John W. Dean, would never want to be associated with them) either does not understand what “hypocrisy” is (because of ignorance), or does know and doesn’t care. Palin would be the former while Newt would be the latter.


  21. chibeardan says:

    This is wrong. You say “as a form of birth control, advocating abstinence simply doesn’t work”. Actually, it does. The problem is not with advocating abstinence, which actually does work in a large percentage of homes, the problem is in advocating “abstinence-only” sex education.

    Sex Education should be comprehensive, with an emphasis on advocating for abstinence as the most powerful form of birth control and also the best way to stop the spread of STDs.

    Sarah Palin’s view is that sex education should not be comprehensive and focus on abstinence only, which in itself is an extreme view. However, it is also an extreme and incorrect view to assert that advocating abstinence never works.

    The article you link to is about abstinence-only programs. The harm that is done is by not educating people who become sexually active about the methods of prevention.

    There actually is nothing contradictory about Bristol advocating for teens to avoid her mistakes. However, when that form of sex education replaces comprehensive sex education rather than supplement it, that is when the harm is done.


  22. aquarius2 says:

    A little late for Bristol to “focus” on advocating safe sex, that horse left the barn.

    What is she going to do, say it was a mistake? Now there is a good mother for you, saying it was a mistake. I feel sorry for the baby.


  23. 08Dariana says:

  24. aquarius2 says:

    oops! that should be “advocating abstinence” because safe sex may have prevented the pregnancy.


  25. Nat says:

    She’s still probably having [unsafe] sex.

    This is just tooo rich.

    Bristol had her fun but now she thinks nobody else should.

    Yep, sounds like a Republican and/or religious bigot alright…


  28. pbeeg says:

    And of course this announcement of what Bristol will do comes from a spokeswoman from her mom’s office.

    I’ll believe it when I hear it.


  29. sscncturn64 says:

    I was looking at the photo of Bristol and her mother up top,it looks like a family photo, they all look lovey dovey holding one another. Except Bristol she`s holding her baby bump. No family member is holding Bristol, I guess they look at her as the black plauge.


  30. Jackie says:

    Look for Bristol to have her third baby as she found a new boyfriend. Now Sarah just showed how she would apply her policies for teens to sleep with their boyfriends. Just think how stupid those Media people look now as they hailed Sarah the bimbo Palin and her lies.

    Didn’t Sarah and Todd elope and give birth 7 months later too? Apparently they believe only their family has trouble with abstinence.

    Yes, Bristol will most definitely focus her energy on sending a message of abstinence to teens around the country, because this is what she believes is the single most effective means of preventing teen pregnancy.

    She just doesn’t know it yet.

    I think most pregnancies are unplanned or “mistakes,” even within marriage. It doesn’t matter what any of us calls it, it’s doubtful that Bristol will be saying her child was a mistake to the child’s face.

    She seems like a loving mother — unlike her own.

  39. chibeardan says:

    #27 – It is sad to note that you would equate a mistake in behavior to a human being called a mistake.

    Many people think they are well protected enough and end up having an unwanted pregancy, anyway. Yes, that is a mistake. However, deciding to keep a child and raise it is not a mistake. My daughter was born through the same kind of mistake. In my daughter’s case, the birthmother made an adoption plan. While the birthmother considers her actions that led to the conception of the child to be a mistake in judgment, I would never consider my dauagher a mistake.

    In fact, I find your remark extremely offensive.

    I loathe that ugly woman.


  61. Jim says:

    Republicans whine when liberals “attack” Bristol Palin for her sexual behavior. They argue that Bristol Palin’s sex life is none of our business. I would agree with them if Bristol Palin weren’t a rank hypocrite on the abstinence issue–if she were not going public as a crusader for abstinence. She’s Exhibit A for why abstinence-only education doesn’t work.

    #40

    I am not equating anything. I find it offensive that the word “mistake” was used in your initial post, I quote you– “There actually is nothing contradictory about Bristol advocating for teens to avoid her mistakes.”

    My point was that the word itself is so detrimental when referring to sexual behavior resulting in pregnancy. I am especially sensitive to this because my younger brother heard a fight between our parents and our mother said he was a mistake. He was old enough to understand that statement and it haunted him for a long, long time. Long story, but trust me, a child overhearing the word “mistake” does not differentiate the intended meaning.

  118. Eric The Blue says:

    I am a retired teacher with 35 years of experience. I did teach sex education from time to time. I do believe in advocating abstinence, but I think to teach advocating abstinence without explaining safe sex practices is like teaching drivers ed without teaching the use of seat belts.
    Research has shown that students who pledge to abstain have sex at the same rate of those that don’t. The only problem is that they are more likely to participate in unsafe sex than students who have had safe sex education. My guess is that Bristol falls into this group.
    I just don’t understand the right being against abortion but not wanting to give people the information to stop unwanted pregnancies.

    Just what in any of the comments makes you think we are fearful of Palin? As Zooey so correctly said, it’s not fear, it’s contempt. If you think that we fear Palin in 2012, you’re even more delusional than you’ve previously demonstrated.

    Again, KUDOS to Amanda for getting the heads spinning. Nobody can take away her vast experience & education.

    … What “CHILD” are you referring to? Bristol?

    Are you suggesting that she isn’t capable of making these choices on her own, or that she’s required by her parents, as a form of contrition, to make up for NOT being abstinent like she was instructed to be and failed miserably at, by her parents in her formative years?

    You mean like that abstinence she and Levi performed when he did his “sleep overs”?

    No tom, I don’t assume I’m morally superior.

    I object to supposedly thinking adults picking on a child who is dealing with a difficult situation, yes of her own making.

    Your cheap shots would make me believe you feel morally superior.

    judging by your behavior ro,

    i think you’ve always been

    against levi.

  217. ogomezmontes says:

    Isn’t a little to late to preach “abstinence”?.Of course the Governor knew the kids were having sex.The Governor’s sister-in-law is a thief.The daughter a ho and the Governor a liar (remember the $150,000 clothes thing) and the baby’s grandmother a drug dealer.WHOW.Is that the family we want to run the USA?. And I thought the Bush family was bad with Jeb’s daughter a drug addict and all the other shenanigans the family was involved in.The Republican Party is going from bad to worse to worser.Great for Red,white and blue.No wonder even the volcanoes are erupting in Alaska.


  218. flex says:

    Here is an examlple of yet another classic hypocritical Republican talking point, ‘Do as I say, not as I do’.
    Imagine an out of wedlock young mother, Bristol Palin, advocating abstinence. It doesn’t get any funnier or more pitiful than this.
    Well maybe I have it backwards. Maybe abstinence does work. After all Bristol only has one child, she could easily have 3 or 4 by now.


  219. thomthum says:

    Bristol’s strapping on a Promise Ring and reduced to giving out “handy’s”?

    Never!


  220. The Moderate Squad says:

    Advocating? Don’t these clowns realize that to be an effective advocate for teens the first thing you have to lose is that glaring hypocrisy? You have to have something to tell them besides “Your pregnancy could ruin your two-faced mother’s chance for the presidency.”

    But that’s stretching it – most teens aren’t stupid to think Palin has a chance anyway.

    And while the Palin camp, in true GOP style, has called young Levi a liar in the broadest and most disingenuous terms, I notice they’re not being very specific about what he allegedly is lying about.


  221. superid says:

    Levi on Tyra talking about how Sarah let him sleep with Bristol under her roof is nationally syndicated instant karma!

    I can hear social conservatives ripping up the checks to SarahPAC from my porch.

    Poor Meg Stapleton hammering out yet another laughable, tortured statement. She makes the Grub Street hacks look like Faulkner.


  222. pete says:

    Child? An 18 year old, with a child of her own (or two?), is hardly a child.


  223. pete says:

    BTW. Has there been a paternity test yet?

    “Bristol’s focus will remain on raising Tripp, completing her education, and advocating abstinence,”

    That’s it. My irony meter just exploded.

    Oh, dude, you’ve got to respect your equipment. Whenever I encounter a thread like this, I just turn off my irony meter and put it on the shelf. No use damaging key equipment when you know it’s just gonna peg the meter and blow out your circuits.


  228. Mr. Evil says:

    Hey Bristol, why don’t you just realize you are a flawed human being like the rest of us and live your life. Enjoy sex as much as you want except utilize the technology we’ve developed called birth control. Don’t live in the ‘it won’t happen to me’ bubble because it did. Abstinence only is absolute bullshit! Just get on the pill, enjoy your life, be a good mom and hopefully someday soon, you’ll find a real man to enjoy the rest of your life with.


  229. jeff2001 says:

    Sarah Palin kickes little puppies, Sarah Palin hates kittens,Sarah Palin invented the DH, Sarah Palin kicked grandma out of “the home”, Sarah Palin hasn’t had herself a good abortion. Sarah Palin supports a man right to choose.Sarah Palin believes in “making the putt” Blah,blah,blah,blah, your man won right? So start acting like it. She is the Gov. of Alaska. And nobody knew who she was back 6 or 7 months ago.


  230. Try2keepup says:

    Abstinence works 100% of the time. The pill, condoms, IUD’s etc., all have a failure rate. Abstinence worked for me and my wife, we got married and then had children. It has worked so far for our daughters. No one I know who abstained ever got pregnant. So, what about abstinence doesn’t work? No sex? No responsibility? No self-discipline? No commitment? No one can abstain? Or does the self-gratifying, cynical groupthink scream so loudly no one can hear the truth? Abstinence prevents STD’s, pregnancy, psychosis, poverty. Promiscuity causes STD’s, pregnancy, psychosis, poverty. Is there no link between 60% of black children born out of wedlock and 60% of black males between 18 and 25 in prison? Promiscuity must be the way to go. Goddam Abstinence–what in the world can they be thinking with, a brain and not a crotch?

    With a personality like yours, I’m surprised you ever managed to reproduce at all. So, blow-up women CAN get preggers after… amazing. BTW… you’re covering yourself w/ spittle… napkin?

    Abstinence doesn’t do so good w/ rape and/or incest, huh? Try again, but stop and THINK first m’kay?

  236. pete says:

    Actually, stupid trolls. A healthy sex life is, well, healthy. It’s the stigma attached by prudes that causes mental health issues. The cultures with the best mental health just happen to be those with the fewest sexual hang-ups. Are you really going to endorse the same type of sex education that Bible Spice provided for her eldest daughter?

    Seriously, that psychosis bit renders anything you contribute irrelevant.

    Abstinence works IF you can pull it off. Most teenagers are NOT going to be able to do that. Your self righteous CRAP might make you feel good but if you think teaching it by itself is going to help slow unwanted teen pregnancies and STDs then you are an idiot.

    I love the sight of a teenager with child. What a beautiful world!

    The baby would be cuter if it was Afro-American, but I’ll take it anyway!

    We need more unwed mothers in this world, struggling to survive!

    Hey, guess what idiots. People have sex and they have kids.

    It’s because of idiots like Palin and her complete lack of reality; Idiots who shouldn’t have kids, have kids.

    Hey, females of the world, the men will try to get in your pants any chance they get.

    1st of all something called “eugene atrax robustus debs” shouldn’t call somebody else s s s stupid. Stupid, you can’t win an arqument so just call the poster names. Just like Clinton, this a private matter and should stay that way. right?


  247. spearNmagicHelmet says:

    now that we’ve explored the world of whoredom, we’d like to focus on abstinence.


  248. candide says:

    So Mom decides that her daughter will be out advocating abstinence–a policy the daughter scoffs at. I wish the press would stop including the childrens’ names and those of other relatives involved in their mini-scandals. It seems unfair to burden them with Sarah Palin’s notoriety.

    But Palin herself is beneath contempt. Any mother that loved her children would do what she could to shield them from this unrelenting public attention. No wonder her family is such a mess. She is a witch.


  249. JerryJerr says:

    I can’t believe the Republican party could just be a few years away from nominating somebody who belongs on the Jerry Springer show and I thought they had hit rock bottom with Bush. LOL

    Do we need to review your post? It was a stupid list of talking points then YOU arrogantly and STUPIDLY chiding us on our behavior. In that context my post was very appropriate. I wasnt trying to win an argument because you didnt RAISE an argument you didnt MAKE a point you acted the fool and I called you on it. Grow up


  252. politicaljunkie says:

    I think Miss Bristol should focus on going to college right now. This young girl made a pregnancy mistake as many other young girls have done & will continue to do. The interviews she gave on being a mom & sharing how much hard work it is, seems to be a reality check-wake up call for her. Her education is what should be of most importance at this time of her life (with the help of her family caring for her son) so she can take care of this special bundle of joy that she is responsible for, for the rest of her life. Good luck Bristol & I pray you make the right choice.


  253. jeff2001 says:

    Sorry Eugene ,but this whole web site is a “talking points”.


  254. FaireMaiden says:

    Bristol… my heart goes out to you. That you have grown-up in such a dysfunctional family, with a narcissistic mother who is the very poster-child of, ‘Matricide: An Idea Whose Time Has Come’, is a tragedy. Being surrounded by these manipulative, grasping, using people is nothing short of child-abuse. Know this: one day you’ll be old-enough and strong-enough to tell your mother to shove it right up her ass.

    And THAT will be a great day, a GREAT DAY, for you, because it will mean you have finally honed your own claws and stepped into the world of ‘Womanhood’.

    No it isnt. Try to do better than this kind of stupidity. Put some thought into what you post. Just tossing out whatever idiocy floats to the top of your head makes you look like a moron.
