Absolutely not! No more than I am the poster child for rampant heterosexuality! But Palin HAS inspired a top that I feel makes a valid sociopolitical point while blaring a lovely shade of red (as in red states) in your blue face. Check it out--but for gosh sakes don't wear it! It'll make you look so sexy you might get pregnant and have to get married whereas your time is much better spent helping take care of your six-month brother with Down Syndrome!

Poor Prof Humbert. It is like you get it, and then you don't. No one thinks teen pregnancy is a laughing matter. And you should be worried, but clearly not teaching teens about the natural facts of sex and reproduction, and ignoring it - then you wind up with a hypocrite like Palin, and a pregnant daughter, married to a scum bag at age 18.

The worry is indeed huge. If we do not expose this blindness, as you would like then we will continue to cry with no laughter.

Nice try, but this is factually inaccurate. Palin indeed supports educating youth about contraception.

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-sexed6-2008sep06,0,3119305.story

And I doubt her daughter got pregnant because she didn't know about condoms. She got pregnant because sex without condoms feels good! EVERY TEENAGER KNOWS THAT! And birth control pills can leave one with some heavy side affects. So there we have it. Bristol is pregger because sex feels good and condoms feel like a slippery eel. Wow!

Professor H. Humbert says:

Excusez-moi, Mavy dear but I beg to differ. I am a white widowed male parent of an extremely precocious and frankly erotically charged adolescent daughter by the name of Dolores. And if you must know she stands 4 feet 10 inches tall in one sock. It is I who am solely responsible for her health and purity. It is I who instruct her daily on issues of human reproduction. Night after night I have watched her sometimes not even daring to sleep in my own bed. The nightmare that the hands of a brute such as that Levi Johnston could defile her is almost more than I can bear. So with all due respect, I think it is you who doesn’t get it.

It is hilarious that people continually use that La Times article as some sort of proof. Have you read that article? It is a serious of Palin statements strung together to make ZERO sense.

Yes I will not support explicit sex- education program. And then she goes on to describe kids who are not learning about sex ed at home.
That = hypocrisy, lazy parenting, and dumb beyatch who humiliates our governmental sensibilities.

And now her daughter will be married to a self proclaimed doosh bag.

Palin appears to disagree with McCain on sex education
The Republican vice presidential candidate says students should be taught about condoms. Her running mate -- and the party platform -- disagree.
By Seema Mehta, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
September 6, 2008
Teen pregnancy and sex education were thrust into the spotlight this week when Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin revealed that her 17-year-old daughter is five months pregnant.

Palin's running mate, John McCain, and the GOP platform say children should be taught that abstinence until marriage is the only safe way to avoid pregnancy and disease. Palin's position is less clear.

In a widely quoted 2006 survey she answered during her gubernatorial campaign, Palin said she supported abstinence-until-marriage programs. But weeks later, she proclaimed herself "pro-contraception" and said condoms ought to be discussed in schools alongside abstinence.

"I'm pro-contraception, and I think kids who may not hear about it at home should hear about it in other avenues," she said during a debate in Juneau.

Such statements could raise concerns among social conservatives who have been some of Palin's most enthusiastic supporters since she was tapped for the No. 2 spot on the GOP ticket last week.

Leslee Unruh, president of the National Abstinence Clearinghouse and campaign manager of the Vote Yes for Life effort, said children must be given a "clear and concise" message on the benefits of abstinence.

Asked about Palin's statement, Unruh said, "I don't think it's clear. It seems disjointed to me."

Two days later, Unruh dismissed the comments as "old."

"I support her in every way," she said.

Other conservatives who have backed Palin, including James Dobson of Focus on the Family, declined to weigh in.

Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella said the governor stands by her 2006 statement, supporting sex education that covers both abstinence and contraception.

McCain's campaign did not respond to questions about whether Palin's position is inconsistent with his. But earlier, a campaign spokesperson said McCain believes abstinence is "the only safe and responsible alternative."

"To do otherwise is to send a mixed signal to children that, on the one hand they should not be sexually active, but on the other, here is the way to go about it," according to a statement provided by the campaign. "As any parent knows, ambiguity and equivocation leads to problems when it comes to teaching children right from wrong."

Even before Palin released a statement about her daughter Bristol, teen pregnancy had been in the spotlight frequently this year. The teen birth rate, which had been declining for 15 years, showed an increase in new data released in July. One month earlier, 17-year-old actress Jamie Lynn Spears gave birth to a daughter, distressing parents who worried about the message it would send to young fans. And early in the year, the film "Juno" won an Oscar, prompting critics to accuse Hollywood of glamorizing teen pregnancy.

Sex education varies widely across the nation's school districts.

In California, the state Education Code does not allow abstinence-only programs in public schools, so if a school offers sex education, it must include discussion of contraception as well as abstinence. About 96% of the state's schools offer sex education. All schools are required to educate older children about HIV/AIDS, and those discussions must cite both abstinence and condoms as methods of preventing infection.

The federal government has spent more than $1 billion on the abstinence-only message since 1996 under a program created by Congress as part of welfare reform. California is the only state to have declined to take part in the program since its inception. In recent years, states that had taken part in the program have decided to forgo the funding and the restrictions that come with it.

Palin's statements date to her 2006 gubernatorial run. In July of that year, she completed a candidate questionnaire that asked, would she support funding for abstinence-until-marriage programs instead of "explicit sex-education programs, school-based clinics and the distribution of contraceptives in schools?"

Palin wrote, "Yes, the explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support."

But in August of that year, Palin was asked during a KTOO radio debate if "explicit" programs include those that discuss condoms. Palin said no and called discussions of condoms "relatively benign."

"Explicit means explicit," she said. "No, I'm pro-contraception, and I think kids who may not hear about it at home should hear about it in other avenues. So I am not anti-contraception. But, yeah, abstinence is another alternative that should be discussed with kids. I don't have a problem with that. That doesn't scare me, so it's something I would support also."

What the heck is an explicit sex ed program.

And the point is the woman is scary hypocritical, dumb ass soon, evil person. And that is the point of the shirt, and the point of Michael and thousands of others, "get it."

This article proves her to be a HOLLOW Ween person!

Why do you assume that Bristol was taken advantage of? That is the problem, to think what, that she was not wantin' ta do it too?

Oh, "Oh Ava",

Your post really does need to be edited. So long, so wordy and not to the point. She says she supports condom education. Duh... what's the problem? And what's wrong with talking about abstinence also? It really is THE ONLY way to fully protect oneself from disease and pregnancy. And teens should know that. Why not? Why not talk about condoms, etc along other another form of contraception and disease barrier - abstinence? MS. f*ck*ng magazine would be fine with that!

They call it abstinence only dear Ava. Why would anyone believe any of the contradicting things Palin says? Her daughter had under age sex right under her eyes, so clearly none of what she did or didn't do, worked.

Maybe her scary witch doctors can heal her.

The woman is a scary evil evil scary dumb woman.

Oh, "at",

Sarah Palin never said she supported "abstinence-only" education. She said she supports "abstinence education" as well as education on contraception.

And enough demonizing of 17 year-old Bristol as well as Palin for her parenting skills. How many other pregnant teens and mothers with pregnant teenage daughters would you like to demonize? Or have Village Voice readers really become that backwards?

And have any of you ever had sex without contraception? Was it because you didn't understand the risks of pregnancy or disease and didn't know about contraception? Really, don't be so niave. Teens have hot sex and once in a while they don't use a condom because it feels good, hot and dangerous.

May I suggest to most of the commenters here - you really need to get out of town once in awhile.

She is the definition of contradiction. Palin is McCain's bulldog...nothing more. If you are looking for substance and political savvy, forget it...she's a gimmick.

its just a shirt ava, and it says nothing about abstinence only - you take it to mean what you want. It can not therefore be "wrong."

YOU PEOPLE JUST DON'T GET IT. GOVERNOR PALIN IS DICTATING HER BELIEFS FROM THE ORDINANCES OF GOD. SHE IS A WOMAN OF FAITH AND AS A WOMAN OF FAITH MUST OBEY HIS ORDINANCES. IF YOU WOULD TAKE THE TIME TO READ HIS BOOK. IT SEEMS EVERYTHING IS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT. IT IS ONLY THAT YOU WISH TO FOLLOW YOURSELVES AND NOT HIS RULE BOOK. IN THE END IT WILL NOT MATTER, YOU WILL ALL BE CONDEMNED IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW HIM. WE CHOOSE TO, SO YOU CAN MAKE AS MUCH FUN OF US AS YOU WANT AND SEE WHO LAUGHS LAST.

Advancements in fertilty are at all time highs, as evidenced by the birth of eight babies by a women, and he ivf procedure is currently being hampered by the negative news of one irresponsible doctor. The practice of fertility treatment has been around for quite some time and it works favorably to bring new life.
