Doing the Right Thing?

I don't understand all the praise I'm hearing from Republicans and Christian conservatives about Bristol Palin (the 17-year-old daughter of VP pick Sarah Palin) doing the right thing by having her baby and marrying the baby's father.

Is it a good idea for any 17-year-old high school student to raise her baby--and to do so with the baby's 18-year-old father, especially when that father is a self-described "f*#%in' redneck" who doesn't want children? Doesn't this sound like a prescription for disaster for everyone involved? (Don't even think about arguing with me over whether teenagers are well-equipped to be parents--with extraordinarily few exceptions they're not.)
