Bristol Palin goes on the record: Teen pregnancy 'not ideal'

By GottaLaff

That Bristol. She has such a flair for stating the obvious:

In a statement dated Wednesday but posted on the Alaska governor's Web site Friday, Bristol says the pregnancy was "not ideal," but is thankful to have a family who supported her.

“Teenagers need to prevent pregnancy to begin with – this isn’t ideal. But I’m fortunate to have a supportive family which is dealing with this together," Bristol Palin said in the statement. "Tripp is so perfectly precious; we love him with all our hearts. I can’t imagine life without him now.”

What a relief. Could you imagine the uproar had she said, "I'm imagining life without Tripp all the time. He's such a pain in the butt. Life would be so, like, easier and such, if he had never been born. Also." (That last part would have been picked up from Grandma. Two peas, those two!)

That wouldn't have gone over well at all.

In the same statement, Gov. Palin said she at first greeted the news of her daughter's pregnancy with "fear and a bit of despair."

"Isn’t it just like God to turn those circumstances into such an amazing, joyful blessing when you ask Him to help you through?" she said in the statement.

It sure as shootin' is, Grandma. What a heckuva deity he turned out to be. Honestly, I don't know how in the Sam Hill God did it, turning the birth of an adorable, sweet infant into something joyful. Most people hate babies. How wonderful for you that you've learned to accept them, especially because they seem to be so prevalent in your little fam.

Now let's hope you all learn to accept birth control with the same ease and enthusiasm.
