"Pause before you play." It’s the new tag line on the Bristol Palin campaign against teen pregnancy.
What does pause before you play mean? Well, on Good Morning America, Bristol explained, "It could be pause and go get a condom or it could be pause and think about your life or it could even be pause and wait until marriage."
In other words, the phrase is a bit vague, a little ambiguous. She’s openly said that it means abstinence for her, but she’s also leaving the door open for interpretation on this tag line. I can hear the critics saying that she’s going back on her stance for abstinence, that she should only be a part of a “Just Say No” type campaign. I say, good for her.
Not everyone is going to practice abstinence. I agree that abstinence is the best choice, saves a lot of trouble. But not everyone will feel that way, so promoting something that says to think before you act is a good way to reach people and its even a good thing in just regular everyday life.
So please "Pause before you play"
