The Palin Pregnancies
I’ve been mulling over a video from some far-Left nutjobs this morning showing photographs and other innuendo regarding the mother-daughter pregnancy conspiracy theories surrounding Gov. Sarah Palin and her teenage daughter Bristol. Some thoughts:
If the Palin’s fifth child, Trig, was actually born by daughter Bristol and not Palin herself, as theorists would have you believe, then why announce to the world that Bristol is expecting a child in December of this year? If the governor successfully managed to falsify birth records, hide her daughter’s pregnancy until April while simultaneously putting on a charade herself, why even disclose her daughter’s pregnancy now? Are they suggesting that immediately after delivering Trig, Bristol and whomever her lover is conceived yet again?! If so, why not cover up this pregnancy as well? (Holy smokes! One wonders what would happen if Gov. Palin accepted the nomination while expectings? But, I digress…)
Of course, if between now and the election Bristol’s tummy swells, that could be faked, but after announcing to the world that she’s due in December, everyone will be expecting a little bundle of joy, and falsifying records twice gets kinda dicey.
For the sake of argument, let’s assume that Trig is, in fact, Bristol’s son and go back to October of 2007 when Bristol likely would have told her mother that she was pregnant and walk through the possible scenarios:
- Fearing political backlash, Gov Palin somehow forces her daughter to have an abortion and conceal it. Pros: No out-of-wedlock daughter to damage her career, Cons: she’s on record as being pro-life and the press would probably hear wind of the surgery, most likely from the abortionist herself/himself because the fallout would take down a pro-life advocate who opposes their political agenda. No, there was a child clearly born, so this scenario was obviously ruled out.
- The governor convinces the daughter to carry the child to term, conceals the pregnancy and puts the child up for adoption. Pros: Provided no one talks, everybody wins: the governor faces no public scrutiny, the daughter can continue her teenage years without child, the child is likely adopted by a loving family and adoption records remain sealed. Cons: Again, it’s likely that someone with a political agenda will talk, and Trig was born, after all, with Downs Syndrome, which might make him less likely to be adopted. Again, clearly not the chosen scenario.
- The scenario the MoveOn.orgs and DailyKoses of the world suggest: Conceal the daughter’s pregnancy, pretend you yourself is pregnant, when the child is delivered falsify birth records to show that you, not your daughter delivered the child and show your husband as the father. Pros: Your daughter’s reputation is saved, and your reputation is saved, provided no doctor, nurse or anyone else associated with either the delivery or the falsification of records ever talks. Cons: Someone always talks. Especially if a team of campaign attorneys fly into Alaska and start waving around money for any dirt they can dish on the governor.
- And the final scenario? The governor announces that, indeed, her daughter is expecting a child and asks for privacy in the matter. Pros: It’s the truth, and it is in keeping with her pro-life stance. Cons: It invites criticism of the governor for her parenting skills.
No, I think the most obvious choice is also the most probable: That Todd and Gov. Sarah Palin conceived their fifth child about September of 2007, that she waited until as late as she possibly could to make the pregnancy public, that Trig Palin was delivered in April to loving parents and a loving family, about the time the young brother’s oldest sister was being sexually active either without protection or with failed protection.
Of course, the only way we’ll ever really know is if Todd, Bristol, Trig and Gov. Sarah Palin are all subject to DNA comparison, but that’s not in their best interest to undertake. Or is it? Perhaps they should consider allowing the testing to disprove the conspiracy theories. But, it’ll never happen.

The most compelling arguments against Sarah Palin’s being the mother of Trig stem from the totally illogical story of Trig’s birth. Check out this site for a reasonable take on this issue, though you may dismiss this person’s perspective as being that of a “left-wing-nut-job,” the arguments about the improbability of the birth story are quite convincing, I find.
