Who is Against Bristol Palin?

CNN reports that evangelicals are rallying around Bristol Palin. And I’m glad to hear it. I’m glad that nobody is portraying her as a slut or whore. I’m glad that the evangelical community is reacting to the news with compassion given that they believe her to have engaged in what they see as immoral behavior, and I hope that they would demonstrate that compassion to all other women who have engaged in similar behavior — both on a micro-level (in personal relations) and a macro-level (in terms of public policy).
And I, along with everybody else who identifies as pro-choice, respect her choice to keep her child. That is, of course, implicit in the definition of “choice”.
