As we mentioned earlier this week, the pregnant teenaged daughter of former Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin finally gave birth to a son, Tripp.
The underage and unmarried couple are reportedly getting somewhere in the neighborhood of $300,000 from People magazine for the baby photos!
So, being the good grandmother that she is, Sarah took to her Alaska governor website to speak out about everything. In a statement, she says, “We are over the moon with the arrival of this healthy, beautiful baby.”
She did, however, add a short message to warn other young couples to be smarter. She says, “The road ahead for this young couple will not be easy, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy. When Bristol and Levi first told us the shocking news that she was pregnant, to be honest, we all at first looked at the situation with some fear and a bit of despair.”
And then the devout Christian turned to God. She said, “Isn’t it just like God to turn those circumstances into such an amazing, joyful blessing when you ask Him to help you through?”
As for Bristol Palin, she did what any good politician’s daughter should do. She released her own statement about the negatives of teen pregnancy.
Bristol says, “Teenagers need to prevent pregnancy to begin with — this isn’t ideal.” Adding that she had to set aside “plans she previously made for herself” in order to take care of her son.
Wow, what great role models!
