OT: “Bob Rubin Just Wants to be Cuddled”

[quote=briansd1]Bristol Palin is now getting $15,000 to $30,000 to talk about abstinence.

She should be promoting birth control. Obviously she wasn’t able to abstain.

So, according to your perspective, former (reformed) drug users are inappropriate role models to discuss the dangers of drugs to kids?

I’d argue that the MOST appropriate person to discuss abstinence is someone like Bristol; “see, this is what can happen if you are sexually active EVEN WITH birth control–which is not 100% effective”

Only if they declare that what they did is really bad and not to be done by anyone.

The way Bristol carries herself, young girls are more likely to see her as a role model and emulate her than not.

I’d have to agree with that. Also, the fact that she is now the most famous Palin kid (and not her siblings who apparently didn’t have kids out of wedlock) doesn’t help.

It’s important for “accidental” teen mothers to speak out, but the recent shows and other “glamorizing” media attention to this make it more likely that people will want to emulate them instead of shun their lifestyle. They need to focus on the more tragic cases, and focus on the impact and less on the individuals (so there’s no “fame” component).

A lot of young girls have babies because they want someone to love them and/or they want attention that they feel they are lacking in their lives. Making teen moms famous (especially showing more affluent teens with lots of help from their parents) can make having babies at a young age even more tempting to these already vulnerable young girls, IMHO.

We need more future babies so they can work and pay taxes and keep the ponzi scheme of social security going.
