Reports: Bristol Palin's husband files for divorce

https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2018/02/13/reports-bristol-palin-husband-files-divorce/335457002/

Bristol Palin's husband of less than two years has filed for divorce, according to People and TMZ.

Dakota Meyer, 29, and Palin, 27, married in June 2016 and have two young daughters together, Atlee Bay, 9 months, and Sailor Grace, 2.

After initially calling off their wedding, Palin and Meyer married six months after Sailor's birth, following public arguing over the collapse of their engagement in 2015, plus paternity and child-support issues.

.. snip ..

Since announcing her teenage pregnancy during her mother's 2008 vice presidential run, Palin fashioned herself as a voice of conservative Christian values. On her website, she describes herself as "Pro Life, Pro God, and Pro Guns."

I looked it up for you. One kid from some dude she was with before Meyer, and two with Meyer. That is not to say she will not have any more kids. She might even be married when she has some of them, and for that the xtian right will give her its blessing.

She was 44 when Trig (Trap? Trix?) was born, way more likely to have a kid with Downs at that age than Bristol who would have been a teenager.

Pro Life and Pro Guns, but not Pro-God's Creation.

You can't be both pro life and pro guns and pro God.

Because being pro guns is neither pro life and nor pro God.

I'm not anti guns, but pro guns is not pro life or pro God.

It's never a good idea to publicly trash the parent of your grandchildren. I hope she has more sense this time.

I seriously doubt she'll mind her own business, but she should let her adult children be in charge of their own lives.
