If this had been Chelsea Clinton (years ago) sending the same message I'd be equally upset. Maybe you didn't read it in my original post, but I said it's not who she is or who her mother is. And I'm glad she decided to adopt this as her pet issue, but I have a serious problem with the message. It's a rotten one. So I won't just sit back and give her points for trying, because instead of helping the cause she muddied the waters. It's too bad because she is in a position of influence, yet she blew that chance. It sounds like you're the one with the political bias and hang-up. I'm simply examining the ad and pointing out why it's flawed. @mamabof3: You are blatantly incorrect.

Be happy she made an ad instead of picking it apart. You are only doing that because of who she is and who her mother is and what their political affiliation is.

If you look at the cuts scenes in between her talking, you see Bristol graduating from high school. You see Bristol getting her hair done and smiling. You hear Tripp laughing. That doesn't send a warning, it glorifies it. And then Bristol admits she's rich and famous, and tells us it's so much easier for her, but for others it would be disastrous. If she really wanted to send a good message, it just would've been her talking about how difficult her life has become as a single mother. Socioeconomic status should not have had anything to do with hit. She could've delivered her message without inciting class warfare. But she didn't. Again, maybe that's the fault of the writers but she didn't have to agree to it. And lastly, I think you're off base if you think teen pregnancy hasn't already been a rising issue in America that people speak out on. It has been for decades. @mamabof3: If the message was truly “sex at a young age no matter what economic level you are at doesn’t end up fun if you aren’t careful,” then why do they glorify Bristol?

Something to do with Native Americans or something. So, goverment health care isn't good enough for Sarah Palin, but it's good enough for her grandchild? What a bitch!

She's trying to get the message out there now despite who she is and despite who her mother is and despite what her mother may or may not say that pisses everyone off. Yes, she got on TV because she's Sarah Palin's daughter, but at least she's giving a voice to an important rising issue in America.
