Track Palin birthday: Sarah Palin’s son conceived out of wedlock?
By Clarencia Cynrae on September 2nd, 2008There is a rumor on Track Palin’s birthday. Sarah Heath eloped with Todd Palin on August 29, 1988.
When was the Palin eldest son born? The official wikipedia page has tactfully omitted the birthday. When Sarah Palin’s nomination was announced, some sources stated Track Palin as being 18, some said Track Palin was 19. As of today, Sept. 1, 2008, almost all websites with new posts state Track Palin as being 19. So, if Todd Palin married Sarah Palin on Aug 29, 1988, then Track Palin may have been conceived almost immediately to be born in time for his age to be listed as 18 – 19 in 2008. The rumor started because the birthdate was known to be in April 20, 1989. An old traffic offence record from a speeding ticket on Track CJ Palin stated his birthdate as April 20 1989.
Some websites wrote that Track Palin was born less than eight months after the wedding. However, a baby may be born prematurely. Track Palin was born in April 20, 1989. Let’s give the Palins the benefit of the doubt. Track could have been a premature baby, born prematurely when he was 7 months, 21 days old. (give and take 1 day because the exact hours were not calculated)
Bristol Palin conceived a baby out of wedlock. The rumors said there was a trend.

If you check http://www.courtrecords.alaska.gov/pa/pa.urd/pamw6500.display and enter in Track Palin, you will see he has a speeding ticket, and his birthdate is listed as April 20, 1989. This site is in the State of Alaska court system.

Kathy,
Thanks.

A woman is not pregnant for 9 months, it is actually 40-42 weeks. Basically, this means that if Track was born before June 5, 1989 then we know the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Sarah,
Thanks.

A full-term pregnancy is 38 weeks from conception. The 40-42 weeks system counts from the first day of the previous menstrual period. This system is used because a hundred years ago, the doctors all thought women too dumb to remember when they had sex. So according to the old doctors, the day that a woman has sex marks the end of the second week of her pregnancy, and the day that the fertilized egg implants into the uterus is the end of the third week of her pregnancy. If her normal menstrual cycle is longer than 28-29 days, then they added a few days (up to two weeks) to those numbers. You could, therefore, “be pregnant” up to four weeks before having sex.
Now that we have learned a little more about biology, so that the doctors figured out that it’s not possible for any pregnancy to “start” weeks before having sex, that system is falling into disuse. A normal pregnancy is 38 weeks from fertilization (usually takes place with 24 hours of having sex) to birth.
Now has anyone here ever noticed that the typical month lasts for four weeks PLUS A FEW DAYS? 38 weeks — a perfectly healthy, full-term pregnancy — is actually one week short of nine months. A healthy child born on April 20th was therefore most likely conceived during the last few days of July (or first of August) in the previous summer. It’s not really unusual for a child to be born four weeks early, or up to three weeks late.

Would this kind of scrutiny be given to a father who is running for office? After you’ve listed all the male politicians who have fathered children out of wedlock, then you can start going after Sarah Palin. Until then, stuff the sexism back into the closet.
September 6th, 2008 at 5:45 am
When as a public official someone, man or woman, preaches abstinence only but she gets knocked up before she is married, and then her daughter also gets knocked up before marriage, she is fair game to be labeled as a hypocrite of the first order.
September 6th, 2008 at 9:02 am
It is not o.k. for John Edwards to have sex outside of marriage but it is o.k. for Sarah Palin and her teen daughter, Bristol. Can we spell HYPOCRITE??
Since Sarah Palin cannot even guide her own self and her children ethically, how is she supposed to even pretend to do so for the rest of the children of this country??

Nice try, but you completely miss the point. Calling someone a hypocrite is not sexist. The issue is not that Sarah Palin had unprotected premarital sex, or that her underage daughter followed suit. The issue is that she and her cronies preach to the rest of us what is or is not moral and expect us to live by their supposed standards. They not only force their values on us in word and judgment, but endeavor to legislate who, how and and under what circumstances the rest of us can marry or have sexual relationships with. As far as calling out male politicians, you’ve got to be joking. We’re bombarded with reports of politicians involved all kinds of sex scandals, and 99% of the time they are men. They get called out whether or not they have preached moral high grounds, but when they have then they are show to be hypocrites as well. Besides, considering that Sarah Palin is running for vice president, it’s fair to judge her and all the candidates by any standards we want. Frankly it makes the Party look weak when sexism is used as a retort for pretty much any question asked about Palin (questions mind you, let alone criticisms). Perhaps it’s just easier to claim discrimination rather than taking responsibility. How about the media just ignore Palin until such time that she’s ready/able/willing to answer any questions for herself if she so chooses? This way she won’t be subject to any public criticism nor receive any media exposure. It’s a win-win situation and everyone should be happy. Yeah right.
September 7th, 2008 at 3:57 am
Look folks, it’s REAL easy:
Sarah Palin: “DO WHAT I SAY, DON’T DO WHAT I (AND MY DAUGHTER, BRISTOL) DO.”
PERIOD. GOT IT???
September 7th, 2008 at 11:06 am
Are you people for real? I am trying to figure out why a bunch of busy bodies even care if her son was conceived out of wedlock. Get a life.
September 7th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
We care because she’s a condescending hypocrite who wants to force her personal moral values onto the rest of us. The premarital sex is not the issue, just a demonstration that she considers herself above the rules that she wants to judge everyone else by, and even worse, legislate. Just what we need, another zealot with line item veto power.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
Just remember – ABSTINENCE works every time! Like the saying says – “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” Parents cannot be with their children 24 hours a day, and teenagers manage to find a way to do things their parents would not want them to do.
September 8th, 2008 at 12:39 am
This woman is suppose to be a role model, the best of the best America has to offer.
Unfortunately she is a role model, a role model for all that is wrong with our politics. One that will show the world that we Americans value a beautiful woman who can lie and still look you straight in the eye. We are not about honesty, we are about who can look good on camera. McCain did a great job in his choice. Palin is as American as one woman can get. Job first, children second.
September 9th, 2008 at 12:32 am
First, to the genius who said that 40 weeks = 10 months; I know an 8 year old kid who could smoke you in a math competition. Second, my son was conceived in July and born in April. Actually, because of my son’s size and development, our doctors were worried that my wife was carrying too long. He was completely developed and ready two weeks earlier, and they were going to induce the next week if she didn’t deliver. And third, according to the tearing of garments and gnashing of teeth by liberals, it appears that Sarah Palin was an excellent choice for VP.

You people are all whinig about a role model when for 20 yrs Obama Attended a chirch that had nothing but hateful speach!!! and oh just recently he realized that… either he slept all the time, or he liked it until most of america didn’t!!! They should all be role models! Not just Her. I have no problems with McCain, or Biden. I think Liberman would have made a good choice for VP or even yes Hilary, I don’t like some of her views, but I have no qestions about her love for this country.
If your going to hold Palin to certain standards, maybe you should all hold Obama to the same! do some research, read his book! you’ll think of him differently if you did, and I don’t say that in a good way…. sadly thats the best gauge we have on his views and what he has in store for us if he’s elected. Lets hope Biden keeps him in check like he does as his boss in the Foreign Relations Commitee where Obama has missed 46% of the votes there, and yes in 7 yrs in the house and 4 in the senate McCain has missed more (to show I’m not Rep or Dem). Palin isn’t the best role model…. or is she…. She will show how even a Homemaker can make a difference, and all without making 4 million in book sales (obama) maybe more time physicaly in the senate the last 3 years and less time writing books would have done him some good….

Nice try Jimmy, but you missed the point. When has FATHERHOOD been criticized in the manner that MOTHERHOOD has brought up? This sort of cultural sexism is so deeply imbedded into you that you confuse parenthood with having an affair. Nice mental gymnastics!
September 11th, 2008 at 7:44 am
The fact of the matter is Sarah Palin is not qualified to be VP. I am sorry but you religious rights need to see over the trees. You are hypocrites. You criticize for sex b-4 marriage unless it is a Republican. How is a person qualified? Life experiences and education. Ms. Palin has been to very few places outside Alaska and she went to 6 colleges over 5 years and graduted from a less than stellar college. McCain has about a 30% chance of dying in office. This is not some Disney movie, she will not be able to face Putin or leaders from South Iran, South Korea. Her record is very suspect. SHE JUST IS NOT READY!! This is nothing against her personally, SHE JUST ISN’T READY!! This is not a game of chance. We cannot roll the dice and chance it that she will be President. SHE JUST ISN’T READY!!
Check out Jon Stewart’s video with Karl Rove, Bill O’ Reilly and others to see for yourself the Republicans hypicrosy.
September 15th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Oh No! What other little irrelevant fact can the Democrats find to pick at. Good god. You people are what’s wrong with politics.
September 15th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
As voters we have every right to judge Sarah Palin based on the morals and policies she would hold the rest of us accountable to. If she supports abstinence only then she should be responsible for abstaining herself. And if she is going to drag her children into the public eye, she should be certain that they too are practicing what she preaches. According to the dates, she was pregnant, at most, 235 days or 33 1/2 weeks. Any child delivered before 37 weeks is considered pre-term. It is possible that Track was born early. This information is compounded by the fact that she eloped, to the suprise of everyone. In such a rush to tie the knot that she marched across the street from the courthouse to a retirement home and asked two strangers to stand in as witnesses for her and Todd. There is nothing wrong with eloping, just suspicious in this case given the circumstances. So,was Track born early? Considering her views on marriage and abortion, and her expectations that the rest of the country should follow suit, it is a fair question. We must think carefully about this … McCain is advanced in years and has had cancer 4 times, it is a real possibility that Palin could end up in the number one seat before the 4 years are up. I wish no harm to McCain, but it has to be a consideration. If Track was NOT born early, Palin is a hypocrite and a liar … do we want such a person in command if this country yet again?
September 17th, 2008 at 12:33 am
How do you know that is the right Track Palin?
No address on the case. Also, videos of Governor in the Spring show her stating that Track was 18 at that time.
So either a later birthdate in 1989 or born in 1990 either way she got pregnant after marriage.
Looks like another false rumour. Shame on Newsweek for reporting it as fact.
September 18th, 2008 at 3:55 am
Look up the darn records – this is a fact according to the courts and how many people are named Track CJ Palin and born in Alaska.
Most of you guys are from a state called Denial.
Jimmy is right on with his comments. Thank you Jimmy for being one of the few sane people in all of these postings!!!!
September 20th, 2008 at 2:11 am
Although the author’s math is off (you may want to correct that), he is correct.
Due to the marriage date and tracks birthday, he was born 7 1/2 months after they were wed (typical pregnancy is 9 months, not 10 as the author writes).
Although it’s highly possible he was born pre-mature, it doesnt seem that likely to me. Why else would such a devote Christian elope rather than marry in a court?
We need to get this to the media!
September 26th, 2008 at 3:57 am
So what you idiots!!! You would rather elect a terrorist? You all need to be shipped over to the middle east and live with the likes of OBAMA.
September 28th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
ARGH!!! Why on God’s green earth is everybody concentrating on Bristol as being the only Palin who could possibly have a baby out of wedlock that it would be very vital to conceal from the public? So important that the governor was willing/forced to fake her own pregnancy at the last minute in order to prevent horrible embarrasment?
Remember, it takes two to tango and there are two very virile Palin males in the family – Todd and Track. Perhaps a young woman became pregnant from a laiason and is due in late May. She will either keep the baby or has arranged for a private adoption. Around Jan. or Feb., she has another routine ultrasound but the doctors see something concerning and do a genetic amnio. The baby has Down’s. Everything changes; the prospective parents refuse to go through with the adoption and she is unwilling to care for a disabled child in the face of no paternal support. Local facilities are unacceptable to her especially since she knows this baby will surely never leave them. Her solution? She tells the baby’s father that he must step up to the plate and provide a family for his child – no ifs, ands or buts. He can offer a mother, father, siblings, a wide-range of extended family plus access to the state’s best medical facilities – all of which his child will need. And if he refuses, she will simply go to the press and tell them how he has refused to take responsibility for his disabled child, concieved out of wedlock, who he has now abandoned along with its mother and how she cannot care for it.
September 29th, 2008 at 5:37 am
Good God, Get off Sarah’s ass!!!!!!!! Who gives a shit as to whether she was pregnant when got married. How many of you are pure as the driven snow?
October 2nd, 2008 at 11:01 am
to Aleksy: there is a difference between sex-outside-of-marriage and Adultery, which is John Edwards’ problem. he was MARRIED and did another woman while sleeping with his wife. Britney nor Sarah were mistresses to others. as for V.P. election, its about time a woman gets in the WHITE House to clean up alot of the mess that men make. the McCain/Palin ticket seems like a sound choice, given that B. Hussein Obama IS a muslim and the hope of all Iraqis and Iranians. There is a reason it is called the WHITE HOUSE.
October 2nd, 2008 at 12:14 pm
Look, Sarah Palin needs to bow out NOW to save the Republican Party from ruin. She has become a laughing stock and it dragging the party down. She can go gracefully since she has an infant of her own at home and one on the way around January from her unwed teen daughter. The country will more than understand if she says she feels she must put her family first. The McCain needs to BEG Mitt Romney to get on the ticket at warp speed. It would not only be a brilliant move for the REpublicans, at this point it is the ONLY move they can make to have a chance at winning.
October 2nd, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Hey, Lorie, do you really wany to know why it’s called the “White House”? Well, since you made such an assinine remark about public and historical property, then I’m going to tell you why it’s called “The White House”. It’s real simple – it was built as both a place of business AND as a house and it was PAINTED white. Notice I said it was painted because most of the other public building in DC are made of stone but the presidents home is made of wood, therefore the need for paint. Despite your rascist, pea-brained theory, the color white was not chosen to match the skin color of the occupants – it was a matter of cost and practicallity. All colored paint uses white as its base. We had to import all our paint from overseas therefore it cost tons of money to make colored paint. Back then there was no Home Depot who would guarentee a perfect match in each gallon of paint you bought, therefore painting the exterior of a large house was always an exercise in surprise, suprise, suprise! Since the president’s house was to be a premier place of government, they wished it to be looking spiffy at all times therefore the easiest AND cheapest way to accomplish this was to paint it white. That way, when it incurred the usual dings, pollen stains, mold, etc. that are the bane of homeowners, all the groundskeepers had to do was haul out a can of plain white paint and cover them up without painting the whole damn house. If the had, say, painted it blue or yellow and attempted those touch-ups with the paints and dyes thay had back then, our White House would now be know at the “Pox House”. (That’s what they called spots back then.” Oh, and Lorie, a pox on you.
October 4th, 2008 at 7:51 am
You rednecks need to shut up! Lorie you are an uneducated pathetic excuse for a human being. McCain’s adopted daughter came from Bangladesh which is a muslim country. But she isn’t one because she was raised by a christian family so is the case with Barack.
IDIOTS FOR McPalin!!!!
October 4th, 2008 at 8:00 am
Hey Independent Thinker,
You think you are smart but guess what Barack did go through the media scrutiny over rev wright so what is your problem were you hibernating??? So now it Palin’s turn, we need to talk about her & the youtube video and her belief in witchcraft. Go harry Potter!!!
October 4th, 2008 at 8:49 am
…interesting you should mention the adulterous behavior of John Edwards. Yes, I do not agree with it. Are you also aware that after John McCain’s first wife waited faithfully for him to return from Vietnam, he dropped her in short order soon after his return. She had been in a serious car accident while he was away and as a result was partially disabled. He left her, was a womanizer, and apparently pursued the rich Cindy while still married and then divorced her to remarry. So much for his great integrity!
October 20th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
All you rock throwers listen up. Before all of you immoral moralizers try to throw rocks at Sarah (how dare you, you fornicating lovers of lies!), you should know what the Bible says first. Those of us who have actually READ it understand that sex BEFORE marriage is not specifically decried, rather it is said that if a man has sex with his virgin, he should marry her. Sex OUTSIDE of marriage, that does not lead to marriage is specifically condemned. Marriage is not a legal act, it is a solemn oath between one man and one woman before God to be united physically and spiritually until they die and does not require a license from the government (that is a requirement to be recognized under the law of the land). What the Bible DOES discriminate against is sex in DATING or OUTSIDE of marriage, not leading TO marriage, going from one partner to another without marriage. That is called fornication and if it involves someone married to someone else it is called adultery. So get off your high horses and pay attention to YOUR own sins because you have to answer for your refusal to acknowledge your own sin and a need for the saving grace of Christ. Yes, we all need it. Can you admit it? I know, many of you will whine because I talk about my beliefs. Well, politics IS religion so get over it. If you don’t get that then you are too dense to have an intelligent discussion with anyway.
October 23rd, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Peter, you got it right.
Plus, Sarah was about 24 when she got married and about 25 when Track was born. (Assuming the dates on this site are correct.) She was fully an adult, not underage, and had completed college. This is in no way scandalous.
By the world’s standards, it’s not even irresponsible.
And people, you all need to remember that it’s Barack Obama who wants to place a woman with experience as an unwed teenage mother as his next supreme court justice appointment.
If Obama thinks being an unwed teen mom increases a person’s qualifications as a supreme court justice, why are people complaining about 17 year old Bristol’s pregnancy? She could one day be a SC justice under Obama’s vision. She’s already working on her qualificiations.
October 24th, 2008 at 12:14 am
People like Lorie remind me that even free public education can’t help the truly ignorant people.
People like her make me cringe to know that I paid
taxes so that she could sleep through her classes. Yes, I’m assuming you didn’t graduate from high school! Go ahead and vote for McCain you poor little
lost sheep.
October 26th, 2008 at 7:27 am
Look….by the average behavior of the people in Washington…Sarah Palin is a Role Model in the highest level….she grew up in a mans enviroment in Alaska > I use to live there..she was in sports…beauty contests…graduated college…been married for 20 years…has a family of 5 kids….became a Mayor…then Governor…and now running for V.P. of the United States of American all by age 44…She is a Great Role Model for anyone…much less a young girl…and if were going to talk about the sexual activities of anyone…lets be honest…Bill Clinton CHEATED time and time again WHILE married and even in the OVAL office….bet over it you Kool-aid drinking Dems
November 6th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
who bloody cares for fucks sake! oh big deal shes a hypocrite you said it now fucking get on with your lives and stop being douchebags
November 10th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Mia, how very classy.
November 11th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
Her doctor’s medical summary said all but her last pregnancy were carried to full term
February 6th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
I thought you Hollywood, celebrity loving twits worshipped people who have children out of wedlock?
March 7th, 2009 at 4:13 am
Here’s the difference…Is Palin passing judgement on anyone? Is she telling people that they are horrible for conceiving children out of wedlock? Not that I’ve heard of…therefore, she’s not being a hypocrite.
Tristen–well said.
May 1st, 2009 at 9:19 pm
Sarah Palin is a slut!
July 14th, 2009 at 12:02 am
Abstinence only education does not work. GH Bush’s Abstinence pledge says I will not have sex until I am married. Nobody who supports these pledges waited for marriage. Now Bristol is giving the “Don’t have sex” interviews. Why not have some one who waited for marriage to have sex push the abstinence policy? If Palin was pregnant before the wedding then she is a hypocrite for supporting abstinence only. She is uninformed on every issue I have heard her talk about.
January 30th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
Track was conceived before Sarah’s marraige.
In her medical files that were released it states “Full Term” pregnancies.
Aug 29th to April 20th is 33 1/2 weeks. That is NOT ‘full term’.
