Abstinence spokeswoman

In 2009, due to having the highest profile teen pregnancy of the year, Palin began speaking publicly as the Teen Abstinence Ambassador for the Candie's Foundation, a teen pregnancy prevention organization pro-abstinence organization She gave presenations on abstinence at town hall meetings and morning talk shows. According to Palin, "Regardless of what I did personally, abstinence is the only ... 100% foolproof way you can prevent pregnancy." According to The Telegraph, in early 2009, before becoming an abstinence spokeswoman, 'Bristol said she believed that expecting teens to avoid sex was "not realistic at all".'
