Bristol Palin's current crisis


News flash! For immediate review.

Bristol Palin, mother of two children by two different men, lost a court battle today. Or, recently. Or, again.

Is that political news? Yes.

Sarah Palin, failed Vice Presidential candidate, Bristol's mom, put her family in the public eye with her values approach to getting elected, a type of Republican family values campaign. Bristol signed on to that and her mom's failed reality show and Bristol signed on to another family values campaign of with the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy. Abstinence.

Bristol also starred in her own reality show, Bristol Palin: Life's a Tripp. She wrote a best selling memoir, rather old such a young person offering a memoir. It was called, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far.

It this a bigger story than Trump? Yes.

We had a number of Republicans call for a total ban on abortion even for rape and incest, and incest rape. So, in today's court ruling, if it was today, we have the Republican coda to women's health and reproduction.

Should an under legal age woman be pregnant after being raped by her biological or legal father, the father can expect to raise raise the child, perhaps to the point of forcing the woman to pay child support.

Trump may be a monster and Bristol Palin a victim but the elephant in the living room owns the ovaries of any and all fertile women.
