This is what comes from listening to too much liberal (il)logic, and telling God to get out of our lives, schools, and society for 40 years. “They’re so excited to finally have someone to love them unconditionally,”

Nothing more mystical about it than that. Pretty simple reason. Dude didn't pull out. :arrow: “I don’t call it a mistake because the way I look at is everything happens for a reason,”

Not due to the people not wanting to make a difference but due to lack of resources. Long story short, better education equals better choices made by students, its bad that our educational system is still politically living in the 50s when the rest of the world has long since made it past the ultra conservative method of teaching of such subjects like sex and roles and responsiblities of parenting. Better health care would distribute the contraceptives to the kids that need it, its a simple solution for this problem.

You are suggesting that religion would have made a difference here. The reality is likely that these girls do not have good family lives in the home they are growing up in, and they clearly are missing the education and support that would tell most peole that having a baby at 16 or 17 will be rough and likley make them miserable. Religion does not make a family any better in caring for their children or educating them about reality. There are messed up kids in all families, God or no God. This is a deeper social issue.

I had horrible self-esteem partly because I was told that I was a sinner - even as a very young child. I felt that I couldn't approach my family with questions regarding sex, drugs, etc...so, of course, I had no defenses when peer pressure was applied. I became pregnant at 15 and then again at 17. Even after the first pregnancy, I was not given access to birth control or counseling. I'm not blaming anyone for things that I did but..how I wish my parents had been a bit more liberal and been people that I could discuss things with. Bad advice, Kentucky Jim.
