A long-awaited national study has concluded that abstinence-only sex education, a cornerstone of the Bush administration's social agenda, does not keep teenagers from having sex.
Two things are holding Tenneseans back from really attacaking the STD rates seen in this state. Comprehensive sexual education and parents willing to look at the realities of life rather than try to control their child’s environment outside the home.

On another note Palin's daughter is not underage, but people seem to be forgetting that.
When it comes specifically to HIV/AIDS, the most important prevention is education, which should include -- which should include abstinence education and teaching the children -- teaching children, you know, that sex is not something casual. But it should also include -- it should also include other, you know, information about contraception because, look, I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old.

Obama's words are "punished with a baby". He may not be referring to abortion but he's definately referring to a baby in a negative context, as if the baby was to blame for the daughter's sexual conduct.

I think we can all agree that an unborn fetus is without sin, without any wrong-doing and is completely pure.

How can you even dare to liken an unborn child to a convicted and unrepentant criminal? The two are in no way the same.
Between 1976 and 2003, less than 2% of death row prisoners were exonerated, while others had their sentences reduced for other reasons. This amounted to 112 prisoners released.
Since the death penalty was reinstated in Illinois in 1977, 12 men have been executed. During that same period, 13 men were freed from death row.[52] This finding prompted the outgoing governor of Illinois, Republican George H. Ryan, who had previously ordered a moratorium on executions by the state, to commute all death penalties in his state in January 2003.

They aren't "sent" by anything other than our animal desires and youthful irresponsibility. Why are you trying to paint Obama in such a negative light??
