Question to the Gang:
1. Knowing that your daughter was pregnant, and
2. The media would do their best to (inappropriately) dismember your daughter and your grandchild...
Would you have accepted the VEEP offer?
At first, my gut reaction was "absolutely not". My thinking was neither the child nor grandchild deserved what would be coming to them.
But after 10 minutes, I began to question myself. Why let one of your child's mistakes limit your life opportunity?
Thoughts?

In a lot of ways, it probably depends up on the relative maturity of my child. I've seen 17-year olds come through the office doors, and they make it really hard to be pro-life. You think of them as parents and you feel badly for the kid that they are going to raise. But then I've seen other 17-year olds and I go, "Yeah, dumb choice in the moment, but I think she's got her head on straight."
So if my kids is of the second variety, I might go for it. But if my kid is of the first variety ... I'd probably lean away from it. Yes, it is limiting my life opportunities, but so do many other facets of being a parent. In the end, I have to choose for the sake of my child until they arrive at adulthood. That's just part of the gig.
