Lindsay Lohan blogged about the pregnancy of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin\u2019s 17-year-old daughter Bristol. Here\u2019s what she wrote in her political blog entry:\n\u201cI\u2019ve been watching the news all morning, like everyone else – and I keep hearing about the issues related to \u2018teen pregnancy\u2019- It\u2019s all related to Sarah Palin and her 17-year-old unmarried pregnant daughter. Well, I think the real problem comes from the fact that we are taking the focus off of getting to know Sarah Palin and her political views, and what she can do to make our country a less destructive place. Its distracting from the real issues, the real everyday problems that this country experiences.
\n\u201cI am concerned with the fact that Sarah Palin brought the attention to her daughter\u2019s pregnancy, rather than all world issues and what she believes she could possibly do to change them-if elected. I get Sarah Palin\u2019s views against abortion, but i would much prefer to hear more about what she can do for our country rather than how her daughter is going to have a child no matter what. Maybe focus on delivering some words and policy with stronger impact like Joe Biden.\u201d
\nLindsay also quoted Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, who was born to an 18-year-old mother. He said, \u201cLet me be as clear as possible. I think people\u2019s families are off-limits, and people\u2019s children are especially off-limits. This shouldn\u2019t be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin\u2019s performance as governor or her potential performance as a vice president. [Reporters should] back off these kinds of stories. How a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn\u2019t be the topic of our politics, and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that\u2019s off-limits.\u201d
\nLiLo then finished off her blog post with a bit of parental advice, urging moms and dads to talk to their kids about sex. She said, \u201cI heard a woman say on Today on NBC that teens are feeling as if they have to grow up faster. Really? Because, I think that girls that are CHOOSING to be sexually active and are making a conscious decision to grow up faster\u2026.. I think that parents need to recognize how important it is to talk to their children about the things that can result from being sexually active if they aren\u2019t protecting themselves (birth control, condoms, etc.)\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
