The issue of teenage pregnancies

CNN leads on the issue of teenage pregnancies, as highlighted by the situation with Jamie Lynn Spears and Bristol Palin:

Many people question the newsworthiness of Bristol Palin's pregnancy. Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, the son of a teenage mother himself, declared it a private matter and said families, especially children, should be strictly off limits.

Others believe that the younger Palin's pregnancy and its implications should be discussed publicly and openly, saying family values is a central part of the Republican platform and Sarah Palin, a self described pro-life feminist, supported abstinence-only programs during her 2006 gubernatorial race.

It should also be noted that Governor Palin opposes birth control and condoms, even for married couples.
