Was Sarah pregnant when she got married?

[Liberal_in_LA]

Rumors are flying like frisbees around the internet.

If true, that puts a whole nother spin on the "abstinence only" education.

[valerief]

1. Of course. That's why she eloped. nt

[Liberal_in_LA]

2. wow.

[pnwmom]

3. I don't remember where, but I read that Track was born 33 weeks after

their marriage. And there was no indication that he was premature.

[Liberal_in_LA]

10. and Sarah is running about trying to stop sex education? that bit her in the ass, didn't it?

Bet she now wishes her daughter got a little bit of info on birth control. Bet Levi's parents wish so also.

[NotThisTime]

22. yes, 33.5 weeks later...

4. I did hear on the radio this afternoon that 8 months after she was

married, her first baby was born. They did NOT add that the baby was a premie, so I can only assume.....

[helderheid]

5. 1st baby born 8 months after I do.

[JenniferJuniper]

6. I don't have a link, but I believe so.

Unless Trackster was a preemie, too.

[JenniferJuniper]

7. "Screw not as I say,

not as I do."

[KewlKat]

8. It sounds like it to me. No mention of a preemie that I can find.

Sarah Palin’s son was born on April 20, 1989. The Palins eloped and were married on August 29, 1988.

9. Yes - The Whole Family Supports Drilling In Alaska /nt

[Madam Mossfern]

11. So was I

but then again, I don't tell anyone what to do with their bodies.

BTW- I have four kid, and my daughter figured out the math one night at the dinner table....Holy moley, was my son's face red. The other two didn't understand. I have always supported comprehensive sex ed.

Oh, I was just under 30 when I had my first kid.

[Liberal_in_LA]

12. Nothing wrong with sex ed... IMHO

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Yup. It's their kind of family values. Forms a pattern. Parental neglect. . . nt

[sfam]

14. Not to interrupt, but there are already like 30 stories on Palin out there. Can we...

discuss those that matter? Honestly, I really can't even try to get up the gumption to care whether they had premarital sex. They've been married for like 20 years, so it must be great sex. Good for them. Now about all those earmarks, abuse of power issues, secession from the US, complete ignorance on the issues that matter and the lack of experience...

[kwenu]

15. I think these are important issues regarding Republican hypocrisy and they need to be discussed.

[sfam]

18. Again, I'm amazed when the nation can hold even 3 stories at once. Pick your 3 scandals...

Do you honestly think the fact that we find out a couple who has been married for 20 years had premarital sex and then got married because of it even breaks the top 10 Palin scandals?

Watching the 3 networks this evening, in their interviews, they were only able to mention 2-3 scandals. Of course the daughter pregnancy was #1, followed by the independence party and the earmark mayor thing. Again, if we had our choice, I can think of quite a few bigger issues than Palin getting knocked up and then married.

[kwenu]

20. Not when they have a penchant for telling us how to live and even die.

I'd love for the stories to keep piling up. A new one everyday until the election is fine by me and with every story the question needs to be asked what kind of vetting did McCain do and is this how he will make decisions as president.

[gauguin57]

16. But but but the puggies told me they eloped to save their parents' money!

Dammit ... we haven't heard one true word about this woman. She's friggin' LONESOME RHODES (see the fabulous old political movie "A Face in the Crowd," starring Andy Griffith).

[Balderdash]

17. The whole family can field dress a moose!

:shrug:

[Beausoir]

19. Was Obama's mom married when she had Barack? She was 18 years old when she gave birth.

Give it up.

When or how or who has a baby is NONE of your business.

When are you going to finally get it?

[kwenu]

21. Obama isn't being a hypocrite and we're not giving anything up until Obama wins. Get it?

An Obama win is what DUers like want right? I'm starting to wonder about a few.
