How absurd to suggest that anyone commenting on this topic is "jealous".


Yes, she set her own destiny, by making a choice in life. But the reference of setting her own destiny, was a reference to no one else deciding what her time is worth, not even the OP, who's only intent was a jealous rage that Bristol was making $30,000 for making a speech. Hatred for her mother has cause the jealously of her daughters ability and talent to pull that kind of wage, while the OP squanders in a go nowhere job. Jealously.


Is it an admirable destiny? I'll let mothers explain how all babies are precious, no matter how they came into this world. Do you think she should have been forced to have an abortion?

You really cannot believe that anyone's opposition to Bristol Palin is based on "jealousy".

I believe she should have had the RIGHT to have an abortion.

Mommy Dearest prohibited Bristol from aborting. Sarah did not act responsiby by insuring her daughter did not get pregnant, so imo, she had NO right to prevent her daughter from getting an abortion.

Do you actually listen to yourself?

Yes, I know the OP was made in a jealous rage, that Bristol was making $30,000 an hour, while the OP envies her talent to be able to pull that kind of money, while the putt along at their go nowhere job. Why would they care, if not jealous. What if she was doing it for free, would this even be a topic?

I believe she had the right to an abortion. It is her body.
Was she locked in a room and forced to have the kid? You make me laugh!
What makes you think she was prevented? A hunch? Crystal Ball? Smoke & Mirrors? Or just the end justifies the means?

Then there it is, the real agenda.. Hatred for Sarah Palin, when the subject is Bristol making $30,000. Bingo!

I guess Palin isn't much of a Christian if she goes around saying things like this:

"Regardless of what I did personally," she told Chris Cuomo on Good Morning America, "abstinence is the only ... 100% foolproof way you can prevent pregnancy."

Has she never heard of The Immaculate Conception?

The title of this thread is very misleading. People can only "charge" what the market will bear. The more accurate description would be "Groups are paying Bristol Palin $30,000 to give speeches about teen pregnancy."

This is very simple, would you accept a job that paid 30k to talk about your experiences? I think even the Palin haters would be qualified for this one. Value is based upon how much someone is willing to pay.

I would!

It's a shame another Palin is making headlines though. How many more incompetent people from the Republican party can they sensationalize?
