Hopefully a serious discussion of teen pregnancy & health care can come of this

Unfortunately teens are less likely than older women to have access to pre-natal care, not to mention health care and child care for their children.

I'm sure Bristol will get the best (government-paid?) health care because of her mother's job, but what about other teen moms?

And join you in hoping for this outcome.

2. And what happens next year?

When she turns eighteen, she may not be eligible for coverage on her parents' policy. What will she do then for health insurance? Think her future husband will have a great job that will include comprehensive health coverage?

isn't it more PRO LIFE TO HAVE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE???

4. Highly unlikely. For the Repubs, it's all about Gawd's Will. For the Dems, it's all about being too

... nice to point out the obvious about this dysfunctional family, lest we look unkind.

But hey, miracles have been known to happen.
