Palin is a staunch supporter of abstinence only education. The abstinence only education she gave her child was obviously ineffective. Thus, she is a hypocrite for claiming that abstinence only education is the appropriate sexual education method for our schools when, by looking at her own family, it is obviously not an effective means of preventing teen pregnancy.
And don't claim that it isn't the mother's fault that her child is pregnant. It is not directly her fault, but if the child wasn't using contraception because her mother or school never told her about it, then it is partially Palin's fault.
Abstinence-only education is a hideous failure in most places it is implemented (including my hometown). The local town and the university here (both pretty sizable, the town is 200,000) are in the top 3 towns and top 3 universities for STD infections in the nation.

Ok, here's your number 2:
"Bristol and her boyfriend knew that sex can lead to pregnancy and knew that condoms and birthcontrol pills would reduce the probability of Bristol getting pregnant but decided to have unprotected sex anyways"
Yes, and everyone knew that drunk driving was dangerous, but education and public service campaigns led to large reductions and a change in mindset towards it.
