What's the big deal?!!

Here is my latest gripe. I just don't get it. Sarah Palin, the republican vp, has a 17 year old daughter that is pregnant. And we as a country are making such a big deal about it, like it will affect her being a good vp or not. Seriously? Seriously! I don't see what the big deal is. This girl isn't the only young, un-married girl in the world to have a baby, nor is she the first. Many young high school, even middle school, girls are having babies now a days. Many un-married women all over the world of ALL ages are having babies. I personally know many many people that are married and/or young and having babies. I know 14 year olds that are having babies! What's the big deal? This girl is staying in high school to finish, and she still has plans to attend college. She is still dating the baby's father...no, it's not marriage, but she's only 17 years old! She is making responsible decisions, despite her current situation. She is 17 years old, she can decide for herself what she wants to do. And at least Sarah Palin is sticking by her daughter the whole way. So who are we as a country to condemn her? It's just ridiculous.
