... Guess abstinence doesn't work.

I think Sailor is a cute name!
I get that she was an abstinence advocate, but I find it disheartening to see all the nasty comments about her new baby. I hope things get better for her and her family and that she has learned more about tolerance, family, and love.

What really fascinates me is the magical thinking it takes to keep believing in abstinence education, in the face of all evidence that it doesn't work, and in fact is harmful. For anyone else, this would be a personal family moment to welcome a baby. For the Palins, it's like a giant neon sign screaming "hypocrisy!!1"

I love her daughter's name and I wish her all the best!
Do I care that she isn't married? Heck no. I'm sure she and her baby's father are overjoyed to meet their little girl and that's what matters.
I'm just so ready to get away as fast as possible from this purity/abstinence/anti-sex/anti-birth control culture. It doesn't work and she's living proof of it.

@artsyfartsy: I don't think it's the unmarried part that is making ppl roll their eyes (not me, anyways) - it's that she advocated (and made a ton of $$ off) so heavily for abstinence-only education (purity rings and all) for teens when it obviously does not work.

@pinkcupcake: Exactly that. That's kind of what I meant with the not-married thing since she was supposed to be "abstaining".
