Is the difference between Bristol Palin and other politicians' daughters . . .?

People, particularly kids, often make mistakes in the decisions that they make. That's a reality as constant as all of human existence. The tell is what you do, how you handle that mistake. I very much respect Bristol for how she handled her mistake. The child is born, cared for and lives a life in a nurturing family. She took responsibility for her actions and didn't 'ask' that the child pay for her mistake with its life.
