"LIFE HAPPENS." SARAH PALIN'S UNMARRIED DAUGHTER IS PREGNANT.

 Bristol Palin to wed the father.  This is the oldest story in America, isn't it?

Ann Althouse:

Oh, that looks like a meme. Sarah Palin must stay home with her special needs baby. Sarah Palin must stay home with her about-to-be-married, pregnant daughter. Ladies: Put your career on hold until everything in you're family stops happening.

UPDATE:  Unfortunate but inevitable, people are comparing Palin's reaction to Obama's remark about contraception and his daughters, "I don't want them punished with a baby".  Does this stuff really have to be the subject of national politics?  Does it really have to determine the outcome of the Presidency?  Just one more reason constitutional conservatives have always viewed the Roe vs. Wade decision and the whole line of national "privacy" legislation issued from the Supreme Court as an abomination and a frontal attack upon the constitutional principles of the country.

Obama weighs in:

"I think people's families are off limits and I think people's children are especially off limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president and so I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories."

Obama need inform his freak squad of internet attack dogs and MSM partisans.

UPDATE II:  Ed Morrissey on Palin's unwed teen mom -- been there, done that.

If you look close, it's pretty clear that Bristol Palin wears an engagement ring from her boyfriend.
