Oprah on abstinence?

January 25th, 2010 | No Comments

Bristol and Sarah Palin were recently on Oprah Winfrey’s show.  Big fat hairy deal.  Bristol had recently stated that she didn’t plan on having extra-marital sex again.  Having had extra-marital sex, and being left a single mother, I can see the motivations to not doing it again.  Oprah didn’t see it that way.  She has [...]
