Bristol Sheeran Marie Palin (born October 18, 1990) is the eldest daughter of Alaska governor and former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, and Sarah's husband Todd Palin. She is named after Bristol Bay. Currently, she lives with her parents in Wasilla, Alaska, and has a son, Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, with Levi Johnston. Bristol and fiance Levi Johnston ended their engagement about 2.5 months after the birth of their son. Palin received her Wasilla High School diploma on May 14, 2009 along with the rest of her classmates.
Abstinence spokeswoman
Since the birth of her son, Palin has spoken out on a number of occasions against teens having sex and teenage pregnancy. In 2009 she worked with the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy to ask teens to abstain from having sex. Bill Alpert, the Campaign's spokesman, said working with Palin made sense because "she's had the highest-profile teen pregnancy of the year." In May 2009 Palin was named a Teen Abstinence Ambassador for the Candie's Foundation, a teen pregnancy prevention organization. Her duties as a spokeswoman involved attending town hall meetings and giving interviews on morning talk shows. Palin said "Regardless of what I did personally, abstinence is the only ... 100% foolproof way you can prevent pregnancy." Before becoming an abstinence spokeswoman Palin told Fox News that abstinence for teens is "not realistic at all".
Her role as a spokesperson has been controversial. Bonnie Fuller, former editor in chief of YM, has questioned whether the net effect of Bristol's presentations has been to glamorize or discourage teen pregnancy based on the visual imagery.
