Call me a fuddy-duddy, but I always thought that you should wait until you can support a child before you get pregnant. Oh, of course accidents do happen, but in this age of condoms, birth control, etc., an unplanned pregnancy has me scratching my head. That's why my…

Bristol Palin takes up the cause to prevent teen pregnancy, Dad calls Tripp "a mistake"

nospam@example.com ()

Bristol Palin says having a baby is hard work, 24-hours-a-day work, and she doesn’t have time for friends or the things she used to do before becoming a teenage mom. Bristol said this seated on The Today Show couch with her dad, Todd, and a sleeping baby Tripp, as the teen ambassador for the The Candie’s Foundation, talking about teen pregnancy and why other teens should avoid it.

Despite saying in a taped interview before the appearance, “If I can prevent even one girl from getting pregnant, I will feel a sense of accomplishment,” Bristol, 18, tiptoed around how to avoid pregnancy. In past interviews, she said abstinence is not realistic for many teenagers, but today she said: “Abstinence is the only 100-percent-foolproof way to prevent pregnancy.” When Matt Lauer asked if promoting abstinence is a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do way to go for Bristol, she said people should learn from her example, but agreed practicing safe sex is necessary. "Yeah, definitely, if you're going to have sex, I think you should have safe sex."

Madonna's Crazy - Throws Condoms At Her Audience!

Madonna is losing it. We get it - she doesn't like Sarah Palin (Or McCain) and that's fine, she's certainly entitled to her opinion. But honestly, if I pay my hard earned money to see a music concert, I expect just that - music. Not menacing rantings of an aging popstar...
