Alaska Governor and Republican Vice Presidential hopeful Sarah Palin announced today that her 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, is pregnant.

“Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned,” Sarah Palin said. “As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows that she has our unconditional love and support.”

It's great to hear that this family is unified during this challenging time for young Bristol.

Unified after Bristol made her choice.
