Palin’s Daughter Pregnant
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has announced that her 17-year-old daughter is five months pregnant. The announcement is “intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child,” says the Reuters news service, which carried the first report.
In a statement, the Palin family says that Bristol Palin is “about five months pregnant” and that she intends to marry the father. “We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us," the Palins said in the statement. "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. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.”
The Palin family asked the media to “respect our daughter” and her privacy. According to the Reuters report, John McCain’s campaign was aware of the pregnancy when the Arizona senator selected Palin to be his running mate last week.
Update: The following is the full Palin statement as released by the McCain campaign:
"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."
Update: Asked about the revelation while campaigning in Michigan, Barack Obama said, "I think peoples families are off limits and people's children are especially off limits.” CBS News' Maria Gavrilovic has more.

Gov. Palin needs to take a DNA or blood test to prove that baby trig is hers... all the evidence is supporting that the baby belongs to Bristol, her daughter.
I saw pictures and VIDEO of gov. palin when she CLAIMED to be 7 and 8 months pregnant, AND SHE DIDn''t look 7 or 8 months preganant to me... I have six children by two different women so I know what a 7 and 8 month pregnant woman looks like. Palin was not pregnant with trig, bristol was.
Bristol is now pregnant a second time or her 2nd pregnancy is a hoax to force her to marry her boyfriend to cover up for gov palin scandal...... faux-lame and biased news channel and other media outlets who support the GOP are trying to cover-up the scandal... and the oabama campaign is too scared to touch the issue cause they are just scared of being called a sexist for busting palin''s chops.
Do a search on youtube for "palin baby"
Its fantastic that Bristol is keeping her baby. Babies are blessings, not punishments as Obama would tell her.

Save your breath, ge. These "caps" folks only care about one thing, and that is abortion. Of course they do. It is an easy position to take. They can run around with their little signs and then go home to a warm fire and a martini. Very clean and neat.
They don''t fight for childrens rights, childrens health care, improvement in the foster care system, school food programs, or anything that benefits children.
They don''t fight for low-cost child care for young mothers that "choose" to keep their babies.
They do nothing for children. They really don''t like children, jus the idea of children.

You are the same kind of person that I despise, If it were your Child, your tune would be different, You are a ''Prude''. A Prude is a person that will get out of a perfectly good shower to urinate. (pee). (Lack of common sense)
pro-abortion people has one solution..KILL IT.
COME TO THINK OF IT, IF THEY WERE PRO-CHOICE, BABY TRIG WOULD NOT BE WITH US EITHER!
