When Republican senator and presidential nominee John McCain named Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, he not only made history by selecting just the second woman to run on a major party ticket and the first Republican to do so, he also exposed the deep hypocrisies of the Republican party.
Palin recently admitted that her unmarried daughter was five months pregnant. The self-professed party of "family values," Republicans rushed to support Palin, her daughter and her decision to not only keep the child but to marry the teen-aged father.
While the high schooler’s choice was a difficult one to make it, along with her privacy, it should be respected. The Republican Party, however, does not get off so easily.
Now that one of its own has fallen victim to the abstinence-only education it supports, the GOP should finally admit that its sex-education curriculum is not only limited but harmful.
