parah salin?

[cacophony]

the plot thickens.

the baby isn't her daughter's. can't be. because her 17-year-old daughter of conservative values IS 5 MONTHS PREGNANT OUT OF WEDLOCK *lightning crashes*

my initial thought was that this wouldn't play well with conservatives. knocked up teenage girl, etc. then i realized that we're talking about a very special group of people whose "conservative" values totally embrace teenage sluttery as long as they marry the teenage father and choose life.

so actually i think this is going to turn out to be the perfect storm of controversy for the republicans. the evangelicals and the backwater suburbanites will flock to them in support of the blessed 17 year old who doesn't understand the basic principle of contraception.
