I’ll keep this short but it appears Palin’s son Track and his new wife, Britta, who were married two months ago, are already expecting. We already know that Bristol was five months preganant while her mother ran for VP and went on to make $262,000 by talking about abstinence while at the same time admitting abstinence for teens was not realistic.
The quick ceremony prompted many to ask whether Britta was pregnant, but supporters of conservative Sarah became extremely upset, continuing to argue that the new couple was not expecting. It certainly seemed like a shot-gun wedding, and today it was finally confirmed that the pregnancy came before the marriage.
Track apparently did not listen to his mother's or sister's advice, and I wonder how long it will be before the rest of the Palins are multiplying faster than a calculator.

Sarah Palin was strongly against sex education programs that do not embrace abstinence, and said that she does not agree to the distribution of contraceptives in schools using the dollars paid by
taxpayers.
So, how’s that abstinence thingy working out for you?
4:11 PM PT: Thought I's add this:
. Our outgoing president made increased funding for abstinence education a centerpiece of his campaign in 2000. During the Bush era funding nearly tripled, from $73 million per year in 2001 to $204 million per year in 2008.

Therefore, those youngsters who took the virginity pledge were not only just as likely to have intercourse, they ultimately were more likely to take part in sex in an unsafe manner. This has led experts to conclude that the lessons students take from their abstinence-only education programs is a negative and/or faulty view of contraception.
Second, and most importantly, virginity pledges are one of the measurement tools for determining if the abstinence education program is effective. For these federal funded programs, the government has counted pledges as data that the program is effective.
