This is from Amy Sullivan of Time magazine in an article headlined: "Are Evangelicals Really Sold on Palin?"

"While many pundits have wondered whether social conservatives will recoil from the news that (Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah) Palin's 17-year-old daughter is five months pregnant, they're clearly not grasping the mores of that community. If Bristol Palin were the daughter of Democratic parents, she would undoubtedly be held up as an example of the failures of a liberal, permissive culture. Instead, she is viewed -- as are the majority of teenage mothers in Evangelical churches -- as a Christian who sinned, is forgiven, and needs to be embraced and supported."

Please discuss.
