Bristol Palin won't be speaking to Washington University students about teen pregnancy and abstinence. Student protests caused the university to withdraw their invitation to Bristol, Reuters reports.The University Student Health Advisory Committee proposed the appearance as part of Student Sexual Responsibility Week and approved of spending $20,000 to sponsor the panel which would feature the 'Dancing with the Stars' alum.
But "because of the growing controversy among undergraduates over the decision to pay for the talk with student-generated funds" the committee decided it was best to cancel the abstinence advocate's appearance.
Bristol became pregnant at 17, and at 20, is now a single mom to her 2-year-old son Tripp. She's "thrilled" with her new life in Arizona, and even has a new boyfriend. Although she wasn't an abstinence practitioner during her own teenage years, she's now an outspoken advocate for waiting until marriage to have sex.
Check out Bristol's teen pregnancy prevention PSA with 'The Situation' after the break.

The article doesn't say whether ANY of the speakers were to be paid, or just Bristol? That would be important toward making the decision to leave her out.
hey right-wingers: ppl dont like the palins because they dont like the palins!! only pea-brained, kool-aid drinkers and their evil spikers ( multi-millionaire shills, hannity, beck, limbaugh..) defend them at this point. DEAL W/IT!!!
She 20, now lives by herself, has a new boyfriend and is practicing abstinence? Sure!I love reading this , So does My boyfriend .he is almost 11year older than me .i met him via age'lessmate.c'om a nice place for seeking age le ss love.which gives you a chance to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive young girls and treat you like a king. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends..
Thank God " Do as I say not as I did " Go back to Alaska

Do as I say, not as I do? this is not teaching anything. btw, if I thought my way out of a problem was to listen to Bristol Palin, I'd just shoot myself and get it over with.

Yeah, THAT's a rational response.
Obviously you don't learn from your own mistakes. Apparently, Bristol does.
Same goes with anything obummer has to say!
You gonna shoot yourself...ya promise? One less liberal in the US so don't let me stop ya!
As your own party demands of us, I think you should "tone down the hateful rhetoric".
Don't worry speweth, from your post it is easy to see you are so stupid, the shot would miss.
Amen....Stay in Alaska and off TV.....The whole family is a screw up if you ask me but that's my opinion along with alot of others out there!
RIGHT! As if we haven't been subjected to enough stupidity from Sarah Palin! Now we have to listen to her spawn telling us about something that she didn't even practice. Because she should know better than anybody that telling young people to abstain from sex is SOOO effective in convincing them from doing it. And I guess you guys believe she's not having sex with her new boyfriend. If you do, I have a bridge over in Alaska I want to sell you.
This was poorly planned from the get-go. First, who would schedule this poor girl at Washington University and expect a civil audience...Please its Washington. Also for Palin to give a celibacy speech to college students is like pissssing into a tsunami.

Excuse me, but Washington University is in St. Louis, MISSDOURI. Nitwit!
The only one praticing abstience is married people!
You do know that Washington University is in St. Louis, Missouri, right?
Ummmm....Wash U is in St. Louis...as in Missouri. She's an advocate now for waiting until marriage to have sex. She's using her experience from her mistake to try to talk teens into waiting and not making the same mistake she did. There's nothing wrong with that.
