[quote=afx114][quote=urbanrealtor]Still, I don’t have a great amount of respect for discounting her based on anything other than actual policy.[/quote]
@urban: But this is her actual policy. Abstinence only eduction in schools. Anti-contraception. This is a perfect example of why her policies don’t work.[/quote]
No its not her actual policy.
It is her personal life.
Having there be a disparity between public and personal lives is nothing new. Pointing out the failure in her public policy is the domain of studies and evidence. Her personal case does nothing but add irony to her statements.
I think its fair to point out a disagreement between public and personal but saying you are pro-life and supporting a daughters decision to carry a baby to term are only peripherally in disagreement. Basically, as I understand it, much of her camp is of the opinion that premarital sex is a bad idea (and therefore sex-ed and contraception are not acceptable) but that abortion (which is not technically contraception) is far worse.
So she humped while in highschool. I don’t think this is really a huge scandal. While being undesirable in that it deviates from “traditional” families (I guess because she is 17), and her mother’s public line, they are addressing it in a way that is very much in keeping with the policies she espouses. The kid is being carried and dad and mom are getting married.
On a side note:
I can’t believe you have me coming to the defense of the right. And on my own satire thread. Ugh.
