Bristol Palin Not More Eloquent than Mom: Tells GMA Virginity was "Stolen"

That is a horrible word choice. Does she really have to slander her child's father that much just to make herself look good? She made some unwise decisions, own up to it and let people learn, not try to look a victim!

I don't know what aggravates me more, the fact that this little girl is benefiting from something that the media slams poor and disenfranchised girls for...having a baby out of wedlock. Or the fact that she is pimping and being pimped at the same time for having unprotected sex, getting pregnant and building a platform on that.

What is her story exactly? Stolen? What the fuck, has she read too many romance novels written at the turn of the last century.

Look-a-here if she had been Black (African-American)Latino (God help her if she was undocumented) or Asian (with no Tiger Mom to speak) this would be a different story all together. But she gets a pass and a different set of rules because of.... (insert whatever you like...no doubt it will be the truth)

Be loving & Be in LOVE

It's a shame she didn't word it in another way. Whatever the case may be about his character, it's not fair to suggest he was responsible for her choices. As someone who was raped as a teen (after "giving" my virginity) it's galling to have the issue clouded. For those young women who do have it stolen, it isn't fair to diminish what was done to them by having it lumped into the same category as someone who just wishes she hadn't made the choices she did.

I just wish girls (and women) were more comfortable with the idea of defining themselves from this moment on, past choices don't tarnish who we are, they just demonstrate the length of the road to now.

I hope for the sake of the woman Bristol can be, the man Tripp will become and the father that Levi can still be, that this kind of maligning of character and twisting of truth can end now.

Stolen just breaks my heart. It's such an sad avoid-y word.

Doesn't surprise me that Mrs. Palin's daughter might have some confusion about what constitutes rape. If Bristol wasn't able to consent, then it is rape. Not date rape, which is a pointless distinction. I mean, is it worse to get raped by someone you know and trust, or a complete stranger?

"Stolen" is a really, really, really poor word choice. She has yet to own up to anything here. Geez.

And how can she say now she had issues with the whole abstinence thing when she made a living off speaking engagements devoted to it?
