Bristol Palin says unmarried pregnancy was planned

“This baby is not a disappointment, and I cannot wait to be a mom times two,” she wrote. Bristol Palin, now in her 20s, did not identify the unborn baby’s father.

Her first pregnancy as a teenager gained widespread attention in 2008 when it was disclosed during her mother’s campaign with Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain.

At the time, Sarah Palin said her 17-year-old daughter would marry the baby’s father, Levi Johnston, but the engagement was called off.

Bristol Palin, citing her experience as a teenage mother, has spoken out in favor of abstinence before marriage and is listed with a booking agency as a speaker on issues of abstinence.
