Abstinence Spokeswoman
In 2009, Palin began speaking publicly as a Abstinence Ambassador for the Candies Foundation. She gave presenations on abstinence at town hall meetings and morning talk shows. According to Palin, "Regardless of what I did personally, abstinence is the only ... 100% foolproof way you can prevent pregnancy."[8] According to The Telegraph, in early 2009, before becoming an abstinence spokeswoman, 'Bristol said she believed that expecting teens to avoid sex was "not realistic at all".'[9]
