This particular issue is very near and dear to my heart. I agree with Ken that Kathy is very hasty to jump to the conclusion that the Palin family is looking trashy and lower class.

Perhaps if Kathy had a sister in this same situation, she would not feel that way. Because that is the way we have to think about issues of the world; apply them to our own lives, as if we lived in their shoes. Having to adjust to a similar situation as this in my own family, I have found that it is not a desire to condemn that I feel, but a sense that I should offer what support I can to my sister so she can live a life of self-actualization and fulfillment. See, I used to be on the outside saying, “This won’t happen to our family,” and constructed my own views about how I would feel if it did. Let me tell you, I feel very differently than I thought I would; I thought I would really struggle, but the truth is I love my sister and her unborn child even more.

If we are truly Christ-like, we will not judge, but bear all siutations with great love.

I leave this as a question to ponder. Why did God choose a virgin teenager who was not married to carry his son? Why not a Jewish woman who was recently married and living according to the law?

One last note: we should not judge the lower class; some people have no choice but to live that life and there is nothing wrong with making less money than someone else. I think we could all lose our distain for such a class, becoming more Christ-like.

Regarding this post by Ken, I find that where Health Canada is concerned, only certain issues regarding are ever addressed, and then, not always with the proper statistics or education. I take everything they say or do with a grain of salt myself.
