Here's <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/09/01/politics/horserace/entry4404184.shtml" target="_blank">the statement</a> from the campaign:</p> <blockquote><p>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.</p></blockquote> <p>The announcement is “intended to <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/8/30/121350/137/486/580223" target="_blank">knock down rumors</a> by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child,” according to Reuters.</p> <p>What do you make of the news?</p> <p><a href="http://www.gettyimages.com" target="_blank">Source</a> </p> http://www.citizensugar.com/1907101#comment 2008 Presidential Election Pregnancy Sarah Palin Mon, 01 Sep 2008 09:39:22 -0700 CitizenSugar http://www.citizensugar.com/1907101
