Bristol Palin has given an interview to ABC regarding her new book
and her “stolen” virginity. While she acknowledges that Levi did NOT “date rape” her, she affirms her description of the experience by saying that her virginity was “stolen.” Maybe it’s just me, but when I think of something “stolen” I think of something being taken against a person’s will. I think of something against the law. I think of force. By using the term “stolen” Bristol Palin obviously blames Levi and is unable to accept responsibility for the fact that she had sex with Levi….many times. If Bristol was unhappy about having a sexual relationship with Levi the first time, why did she engage in that same conduct ….repeatedly?
There is a concept in criminal law of involuntary manslaughter, or negligent homicide.While murder or manslaughter requires a showing of intent, virtually every state in the United States recognizes the crime of negligent homicide. It requires only proof that there was some sort of negligence, and that the Defendant could reasonably predict the result of their negligent behavior. It is usually enough to show that a person voluntarily became intoxicated and then drove a vehicle. The justification for imposing criminal sanctions is that the person reasonably knows that driving while intoxicated is dangerous. It is no crime for a woman to lose her virginity. It is however disingenuous for a woman to blame the man when she not only consented to having sex, but could predict that it would happen.
I haven’t purchased or read Bristol’s book. Based on the review that I did read, Bristol was not coerced to go on the camping trip. She planned to go with Levi. She knew she would be spending the night with him in their own private tent. She knew there would be alcohol on the trip. She knew she was drinking alcoholic beverages in large quantities. Bristol doesn’t say that Levi forced her to have sex or that she was raped.
Bristol’s conduct the night that her virginity was “stolen” establishes that she was complicitous in the theft. Just as a drunk driver must accept responsibility for taking a life in an automobile accident, Bristol must accept responsibility for “misplacing” her virginity. She didn’t say “No” to the alcohol. She didn’t say “No” Levi. Her virginity was not stolen. If she had made a claim on her insurance for “stolen” property, she would be guilty of insurance fraud. When Bristol devised a scheme to spend the night with Levi, in a private location, after consuming massive quantities of alcohol, it was predictable that a “theft” might occur. To suggest that her virginity was “stolen” is like Sarah Palin saying that she was completely exonerated in the Troopergate matter.

It’s not even a sure thing that the episode in March 2006 was Bristol’s first time…that she was indeed, a virgin.
As someone on Politicalgates pointed out, a young girl’s virginal state is protected by a “gate”. When that gate is necessarily forced open, it HURTS, even when the gentlest, most patient, most knowledgable partner who’s not in a hurry forces it open (digitally is ideal).
You’d probably be right if you think that if Bristol was an intoxicated teenage girl being penetrated by an equally intoxicated teenage boy, he’d 1) not be knowledgable, 2) not be patient, 3) not be gentle, and 4) not notice if she was or wasn’t a virgin.
And you’d think the pain would bring her out of that alcoholic stupor FAST.

Don’t know what Bristol was really attempting to do by writing this sleazy book. Blearly, she gave “way too much information” and instead of inspiring others, it looks like she has actually disgusted them. If this is supposed to help her mother in her quest for POTUS, then I think she has truly failed. Once again, Bristol’s book has only added to all the “baggage” of this dysfunctional family, and shown, once again, that sarah has no dignity or class. Apparently Bachmann as now stolen palin’s thunder by announcing her candidacy for POTUS. Certainly Bachmann is no prize, and would be an absolute disaster in the White House. Yet, at least even Bachmann seems to have a decent marriage, and I wonder about her children. Have any lived wild, out-of-control lives like palin’s kids have? Bristol has this appallingly sleazy background, Track was accused of vandalism, and now people even are saying that Willow is going astray. I certainly hope not, but if she is getting out of control, then we’ll sure be hearing about it. Piper is 10, but seems to have been thrust into a very adult situation with her parents and siblings. Are they going to eventually mess her life up? Sure hope not! Then we have little Trig – how is he doing? Have the palins been getting therapy for him so he can thrive? He wasn’t along on the joke of a “family vacation” bustour – why not?
How long can the palins continue to cash in on their fame? Why did Bristol REALLY write this book and what does she think she can accomplish with it?

Malia, with all due respect, Bristol tells her story and then says, in domino fashion , these were the mistakes I made in this order that ended up placing me here in this present state. She takes responsiblilty for lying to her mom, for actively putting herself in a bad position, for proceeding to give Levi a chance because of immature teen girly reasons. She’s very direct about her story. She never claims perfection, she even denies being a role model. She just wants people to read others’ stories and think before they act and get THEMSELVES into a bad position. I mean cmon, that relationship went downhill steadily beginning in May 2008. Levi blew off steam hunting all summer. Bristol not only hid her belly until she couldn’t but I’m sure she was feeling intense regret even then.
Her story is one to be heard, for it happens everywhere and to anyone. The good thing for these kids is, they were given the spotlight to teach others NOT to act hastily and stupidly, which is refreshing today considering MTV and Hollywood considers to feed the notion of easy sex and one night stands.

Whatever your position regarding pre-marital sex, it doesn’t seem that the scenario that Bristol describes would be ideal in anyone’s mind. Surely everyone could agree that Bristol should never describe this detailed information in a book available across the country. Whenever a person has sex, it should be an intimate moment, and only a person who has little or no respect for themselves and/or their partner would memorialize the most private of encounters in a book available in any book store, and that your child might read.

Her story is not new and not one that “has to be told.” the tragedy of teen pregnancy is not girls who become pregnant by accident, it’s girls who become pregnant on purpose. And there’s Bristol with her plastic surgery and her book and her reality tee vee life and her adorable son.
Getting pregnant was the BEST thing that happened to Bristol. She has exploited her pregnancy and her son to an inch of their lives.
Where would Bristol be if she hadn’t gotten pregnant? Not on DWTS, not owning a house, not appearing on the cover of In Touch or in the pages of Vanity Fair, not making easy money left and right.
How has it been hard for her? How has it negatively affect her life? She has Nannies and sitters and no worries about health insurance, or working on any normal kind of job. She has opportunities that would never had come her way if she hadn’t given birth. Her life is 100% easier because she’s a “teen mom.”

Bristol ‘clarified’ her first pages of her book in a ‘made for TV viewing’ interview. This said interview is not on a DVD inside the cover for all to view along with reading the book. The book still paints the picture that she was ‘date raped’.
I think of Tripp coming across said book in the next 13 or 14 or 15 years or that of one or more of his ‘school buddies’. What a wonderful picture Bristol has painted of his father for him to read or for said school buddies to bully the hell out of him.
The book is on the shelve ONE WEEK and she’s already having to walk back statements.
The fact she has a bank account with a substantial balance; speaking tour payments, magazine interview/covers, a paid for property, no college education speaks to had she not been pregnant – she’d be a burger flipper.
Bristol has not once spoken in AK, a high teen pregnancy state, about teen pregnancy. If in fact she ‘cared’ as you are implying, she’d be speaking for $0 — not the thousands she charges. Guess the AK teen pregnancy groups can’t come up with the funds and therefore Bristol turns her nose up at them.
It is also FACT that her speaking tour engagements are ‘fee ticket’ admissions for which the majority of pregnant teems cannot afford. Her speeches are being given to an audience composed of majority of adults — which therefore does not get the message to the teens who are the ones either pregnant or thinking of it as they see Bristol make thousands of $$$ and those pregnant teens on the reality shows make thousands of $$$. She speaks the wrong demographics and it’s because of her ‘greed’ the message is not getting to those who are in need of it. She’d rather her bank account fills and her face reconstruction paid for that truly putting out a message. Sorry Stop Look Listen – comment failure so far.
Further, your words “She just wants people to read others’ stories and think before they act and get THEMSELVES into a bad position” — Would that be just the camping trip?? My problem with your words is that Bristol continued on numerous occasions to return to the ‘engagement and reengagement of sex’ with Levi. Even admitted that she went on birth control as to not have to use condoms – this coming out of course after she has said she used birth control for cramps. Still the DVD of ‘walking back comments’ not included.
You also don’t get appointed as a speaker of a Foundation to earn hundreds of thousand $$ if you don’t want to be a role model. etc. You’re whole post is completely debunked and in my words — BS.

I want to know if anyone thinks there is a possibility that she didn’t actually have sex with Levi that first time…camping, but her friends told her she did, set it up, as a “joke”. I mean otherwise, wouldn’t she have been in pain if she was not aware…I guess it depends on Levi’s level of skill? Also, after I read that chapter (sample) I wasn’t convinced it was not a fake. All she says is that clothes are off and she is in Levi’s tent, or something like that. Given that kids were already teasing her…i don’t put it past them to pull a trick (pretending she had sex) like this, if she was really that naive.

There are so very many unanswered questions she doesn’t address. Does she not need parental consent for a doctor to prescribe birth control pills? The daughter of the then Governor of the state can buy seven pregnancy tests with no one questioning or knowing why? If I recall correctly, Sarah was shocked to find out she was sexually active.
Gee, if her virginity was stolen, wouldn’t she check the police evidence room or lost and found to get it back?
Bristol, in her “wine cooler” (read beer or hard liquor) stupor has to be told by a friend what happened? It’s all too stupid to be believable.
The part of the interview that bothered me most was when she admitted Levi doesn’t get to see Tripp as often as he’s entitled to. She’s a user.

It’s bad enough that she’s written a book her son will most likely read years later. It’s full of too much information and reflects her inability or unwillingness to acknowledge responsibility for any of her actions, particularly that she placed herself in the situation in which she claims her virginity was “stolen.” What weakens her case even more is that she voluntarily continued to have sex with Levi. No one coerced her, and the fact that she was at one time even considering marriage to him really puts her arguments to bed.
