Yesterday I predicted that the left would whisper that Bristol Palin was pressured to keep her baby, and that would be seen (by them) as terrible. Apparently I simply do not know how to think as a leftist.
I had it precisely backwards. It’s now being floated that Sarah Palin is a hypocrite because she did not pressure Bristol into keeping her baby. Palin is pro-life after all, so (it is argued) she should have pressured her daughter.
I know that the left’s favorite thing in the whole wide world is accusing religious conservatives of hypocrisy (even more than winning elections, it would seem), but they just don’t have the material here. The important point they are missing is that maybe, just maybe, Palin raised her children so that she didn’t have to pressure her daughter into keeping the baby. The fact that she never lectured Bristol about it does not mean that she wouldn’t have if she had needed to.
