Lynne Spears’ Reaction to Bristol Palin’s Pregnancy
Teen pregnancies are popping up all over the place, but perhaps the two most notable of the year were 17 year old Jamie Lynn Spears’ pregnancy and birth of daughter Maddie and 17 years old Bristol Palin, daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. But there is one, major difference between the two–Lynne Spears believes that Jamie Lynn was crucified by the public for her pregnancy while Bristol’s pregnancy is being celebrated while her mother, Sarah Palin, is continuously being congratulated and applauded.
Lynne Spears says:
“Every woman in the world has applauded her strength and her convictions and poor little old Jamie Lynn, you saw how she was crucified – everybody did, firsthand,” Lynne said. “I just feel like it’s been a very hypocritical situation.”
Lynne also speaks about how the public has accused Jamie Lynn of glamorizing teen pregnancy, which she says isn’t the case.
“We don’t want this said, ’cause this would be glamorizing, but I will tell you a secret: her baby does sleep all night,” Lynne explained. “What do you think about those apples?
“Maddie is the best baby I have ever seen,” Lynne added. “She is like a little angel. She’s so contented. She laughs and she coos and ahead of herself with her stages. But of course we can’t tell that because then we would just glamorize it more.”

7 Comments on Lynne Spears’ Reaction to Bristol Palin’s Pregnancy / Add Your Comment
the public will always be biased and judgemental or easy going when they want to.
Hmm… I don’t think that Lynne was right saying her daughter was “crucified”. She got frowned upon as would any young mother. One thing that probably hurt Jamie Lynne was all the crazy things her sister did, and her sister loosing custody of her two kids.
As far as Bristol Palin’s pregnancy, I don’t think the media dares to go and get after her about it. After all, her mother could very possibly become our next VP, so they have to show some respect for that. In either case, i think they were both far too young. They will enjoy raising their kids and being mothers, but I think one day they’ll look back and regret not waiting a few years and going to college.
I think you might be right MonaVie. No one is going to say much about Palin’s daughter.
Nowadays, teen pregnancy is not an unsual anymore. In fact, many teens are getting pregnant at early age of 17 – 19 years old.
If Jamie Lynn Spears was “crucified” more in the public eye, it would be simply because she was a role model to many young girls before she got pregnant, as star on the Family channel, Zowie 101. Sarah Palin’s daughter, on the other hand, really was not in the spotlight or known to anyone until her mom was part of the political campaign.
It’s sad to say but teen pregnancy is very common. I believe the public was hard on Jamie because she was a role model to young girls and her getting pregnant might send them a message that it’s normal and okay, which we don’t want.
Thanks for the useful article, it’s really interesting. I agree with you Kim, Sarah Palin’s daughter was not known until her mom was part of the political campaign. I have also just learned in other website that we can plan our baby’s gender using chinese calendar for pregnancy.
