ARLINGTON, VA — Today, Sarah and Todd Palin issued the following statement regarding today’s Reuters story:
“We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us. Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.
“Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi’s privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates.”

And you thought your pregnancy was public…
a baby is a blessing given by god, i salute to her for keeping the baby.;-)
i wish i had a mother like hers!:sad:
im not completely sure but i thought sarah palin wanted to cut funds for pregnant teen moms?? google it for me lol im lazy
I am in no way republican, but I do support Bristol's desicion to keep the baby. I think her pregnancy is none of the media's business, but she is lucky to have her mother's support, even if I do not like Sarah Palin I commend her on supporting her daughter
i thank its kool how her family and her mother didnt get pissed of at her im 14 and pregnant and that seems like a cool mom.
people need to mind their own business…. the girl is 17 and pregnant so what … i am now 22 with 2 beautiful children… a 6 1/2 yr old and a 2 1/2 yr old i was 14 when i first got pregnant. and no one came n talked about me so wth LOL its great shes keepin it and doin the right thing but people shouldnt be all in her life let her live n be herself alone n in peace…
what a loving mother how i wish that my mother was still alive to stand beside me when i was preagnant maybe i would have nt terminate my preagnancy
yes im republican, so obviously, im for Palin & McCain, i think its very caring of Sarah Palin to be there for her daughter. Obama, even states earlier that he was an early pregnancy and that the media should stay out of it, and with that, i agree.
Waoooooooooooo thats great!!
