This is the dumbest fucking shit I’ve ever seen.
This is probably one of the most awkward videos on YouTube
this is the most uncomfortable video ive ever seen
I saw this in health class
we both know situation fucked her alaskan fundie brains out right after this
This PSA may promote abstinence and safe sex, but the true form of birth control here is the thought of having them as kids.
@SimplicityInItself leave her
@SimplicityInItself leave that fat bitch….
JK, be honest and tell her how you feel
The dislike bar gives me hope for the world
lol is this a joke?
LOL SHE ALREADY DID
pause before you play – how about practice what you preach Bristol Palin you psychobitchwhore!
@jinpayne Shes trying to tell people not to make the same mistakes she did.
she is a grenade
@SimplicityInItself Ditch her. You don’t want to get tied down to crazy
@SimplicityInItself commit suicide yourself… she’ll never see it coming.
My girlfriend and I have been abstinent for 5 months, and I am slowly going insane. It sucks because I’ve never agreed to it, and all she does is talk about her problems, and she’s quickly getting fatter…
She also said she’d commit suicide if I leave her, what do I do -__-
THIS COMMERCIAL WAS DESIGNED BY AL QUDEA
Hes gross. Y is he on here
are they advocating abstinence or safe sex? Usually it’s only one or the other, not both.
The reason Bristol Palin had sex and got pregnant at 16 is because she was drunk and not thinking clearly. She even says friends had to tell her what happened. So yeah, it wasn’t like she was consistently having sex until she got knocked up. It was an accident.
I didn’t know almost 5,000 people like to be treated as sexual objects…
@briancagua Lmao thats the SNITCHuation haha
to quote a line from a movie..
“This is pretty much the worst video ever made. GOSH!

Wow, I am so glad the situation practices safe sex. Cause you know what they say, stupid people shouldn’t breed.
a friend of mine meets a lot of the criteria concerning FAS, but he does really well in school (he’s at a university now) although what he’s studying doesn’t require much abstract thinking or anything along those lines. my question is this: can someone with FAS make A’s in college level courses?? excuse me if that’s a dumb question, i just don’t much about the syndrome.
@ArionaMew – I will check into it — thank you for your comments! regards…
I noticed some of your prolife videos have been taken down- can you repost them, especially, “not my body but m choice”?
both of my sisters have this.
/watch?v=q74i6p5SVpc&feature=related
hang in there bro, same story here.
You don’t have FAS because of your adoptive parents, you should feel lucky that anyone gave you a chance, because of their sacrifice you have had a better life that you would have otherwise been able to have.
i have FAS and other disorders because of my adopted mom because of her my twin brother has autism our lives are changed forever because she smoked drinked and used cocaine. how dare she endanger my brothers or mines life and she put us up for adoption. because of what she did, i feel like nobody likes me because my biological parents mustve hated me considering wat they did to me and my brother i hate them they probably had another child and left me and my brother behind.
katdanmo2, thank you — you are welcome!
Very educative and good video, thank you
katdanmo2, no, but for more details, please see our recently posted FAS training videos (six segments).
What if a child is just hyperactive but for the rest he is a normal child, would that categorise him as a FAS?
Well, Tylenol and Advil can kill too but I don’t see anyone blaming the gov and corporation for letting us have those.
When you’re an adult, you should be smart enough to discern what’s good and bad for your health and the health of your children. If you choose to disregard that knowledge and drink while pregnant, the consequences are your fault, not the government, and not the corporation. We’re free to make our own choices, don’t blame the “higher ups” for your own stupidity.
well i just have to live whit it
I’m sorry
i have FAS to and i never meet my parents couse my mom they died when i whas a baby
alcohal is not evil, the corporations and the government faggots that allow the stuff to be sold are evil
what is the point of hating alcoholics all they want to do is enjoy life and feel good the people you should be hating is the corporations and the government people that allow the stuff to be sold
the mothers arent murderers the corporations and the government people that allow the stuff to be sold are murderers
same here but wit my mother
if a mother is can be charged for using cocaine and other illegal drugs while pregnant, why not alcohol???? I hate alcoholics..
I have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.I am adopted. And my parents don’t know what level I am at. And my birth mom doesn’t even know how much alcohol she drank and she also smoked serveral cigarets a day when I was in her tummy. Mothers should stop drinking alcohol and smoking when they are preganant. We all want these children to have a good life.
Absolutely.
It’s so sad that there are so many stupid mothers out there that drink and smoke during pregnancy. They might as well be called abusers and murders.
Although i strongly disagree with your views on marijuana
I support your views on alchohal
