I generally consider it a failing in some form or fashion and in some degree of everyone involved. With the myriad forms of birth control available these days and a small dose of self control, it should be possible for virtually anyone with half a brain to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. At the very least I think that Sarah Palin and her husband should have done a much better job of educating their daughter on how NOT to get pregnant.

This shows a complete lack of education about birth control on your part.

My wife has borne three children, all of them conceived while using birth control pills. The one child we have together was unplanned (we each had two, and didn't plan to have another), but he was hardly a mistake -- and he was born 9 months and 1 day after the wedding.

There is only one sure method of birth control, and ironically it's the one advocated by Gov. Palin and pooh-poohed by the Left. But when practiced, it is 100% effective.

My daughter managed to, serially, defeat five different forms of birth control out of six pregnancies.

That is some really fuzzy math.

I don't know if you're agreeing with me or not, but think about it. If she gave birth in May, and she's five months pregnant in September, it would mean that she got pregnant in April at the latest, while she was still pregnant. Not really a very realistic scenario.

Having siad that, I had a daughter come home pregnant a lot of years ago, and I did what every GOOD father should, I supported her, I supported her decision to consider abortion, I supported her decision to think about carrying to term and giving the child up for adoption, and I supported, and still do, her decision to keep the child, and I truly love the grandson that resulted.

And mathematically, the daughter could not have given birth to the baby in May and be five months pregnant now.

Having raised four kids to adulthood, in three different families for all intents and purposes, I don't believe that statement for a minute.
