Even though I think this family is a JOKE, this PSA is a reality check that a lot of young girls need. They see friends out with their babies looking cute and smiling but never get the REAL story. I just hope Bristol is not setting up her reality show debut with Levi because something seems rather fishy about this whole "we are getting married" bit. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the whole thing is being funded by some reality show machine. Sarah Palin has good reason to worry about what they are up to because evidently Bristol is a chip off the old block!

Why does it not surpise me that I never received the email to confirm my comment for this story...

I love this commercial. I was a young single mom too. It is very hard to do it by yourself, or 98% of it by yourself. You love your baby but you young and you miss your friends, parties, etc. As much as Sarah claims to help I seriously doubt she does. Hellz Sarah doesn't even take care of her own down syndrome child. Bristol, I feel your pain. And to Mark Marino, who wrote this piece, yes Bristol and Levi may be engaged but until the I do's are said she is still a single parent...get it right.

Good luck Bristol, just be cautious of Levi. Sarah and Todd, stay the hell out of it!!!

Leave the young lady alone. Liberal reporters wail that we conservatives should leave the Obama kids alone and I agree, but that goes for other politico's family as well. Attacking or just writing slanted opinionated pieces about anyones family is vulgar, gross claptrapp. If I had my way I would add only one law to the over-governed US populace that is to make policital ads fit under the slander etc laws.

Your brain must be in backwords! When has the right done what you say. The right didn't say they hope Ted Kennedy would die but the Left sure has said that they hope Dick Cheney dies. Have you been reading the liberal website and blogs.All they have been doing is ridiculing and saying the most vulgar insults at Bristol and Sara for things that have been proven to be blatant lies and the Liberal mainstream media has sat back and said NOTHING. I don't car if you don' like them but know the truth and get a life and grow up.

Hey aren't you happy that Bristol Palin's story has a happy ending??? She is only 19 yrs old and she has her own apartment, a job, graduated HS now attending college, quite an achiever so shame on you liberals for causing this wonderful teen so much pain and agony because of your sick manic hatred for her Mom's politics. Hatred is ugly. Bristol is beautiful. Congratulations Bristol, Levi and the baby.

Its not really fair how she gets to profit from her pregnancy, while other young girls don't have that same opportunity.

An unplanned pregnancy in the Palin household isn't as devastating as it would be in a working class family.

Bristol Palin is not the poster girl for unplanned pregnancies.

You know...contrast the news over Chelsea Clinton to Bristol Palin, I remember when media was at least a little more subtle about their biases.

This is absolutely horrible. This young lady gets pregnant (under aged) and out of wedlock, then is allowed to do a commercial to warn of early pregnancy. The hypocrisy of society that this young lady and her family can get off with a sort of slap on the wrist. However, if this was one of the Obama girls this country would be calling for the family's head. I am appalled at the crap and double standards here. It is not cute nor does it send the right message.

The Obama, who exemplify family value are racked over the cool, where as The Palin family is received in a jester of like, live and let live or leave the Palins along... Give me a break.

What bias? Chelsea got engaged before she got pregnant, exactly the sort of behavior the Palins extol as the ideal even as they ignore it in practice. A very few decades ago, a daughter like Bristol, pregnant without benefit of marriage, would have been shipped off quietly to have the baby and give it up, with as little fanfare as possible, not paraded in front of the media to generate as much income as possible. Now remind me again, who's more about "family values" as preached by the right? Engaged and unpregnant Chelsea Clinton, or always on TV, "do as I say, not as I do" Bristol Palin?

"I believe that people need to start talking about the consequences of teen pregnancy," Palin has stated. "Teens need to understand the realities of being a teenage parent."

Haven't people been talking about this for centuries? Does Palin think this is an original idea?

let's not shame Bristol for getting pregnant. we don't know if she has had any more sex than Chelsea, or whether she was any less careful, it's possible she was just less lucky. if the Palins were really hypocritical, they would have let her have an abortion while being anti-choice on the political front. and yes, she didn't marry Levi right away, I'm glad she didn't. Let's face it, no one should make that kind of decision out of obligation, that's a recipe for divorce.

I don't agree with her trying to push abstinence though. clearly that kind of brainwashing didn't work for her, so why are they sticking their bread in a broken toaster? why not admit that it's better to admit that teenagers are going to have sex no matter how conservative their parents are, and try to make birth control available and advocate for its use among people who choose to be sexually active?

All they want is to make money! I liked Sara at first ,now not so sure!

You know it's funny, really. The same people calling this ad "scary" probably sit and watch "Family Guy" with IT'S talking baby and laugh their fool heads off! Very transparent jab here, folks! You're showing your true self. All things "Palin" are bad.

Hypocrites.

I don't watch Family Guy but she still creaps me out. It seems like she's saying she's miserable with the kid. Maybe she should consider giving it up for adoption rather than marrying the idiot that knocked her up.
