The are pointless in every way. They will no more prevent teen pregnancy than posting the calories on the side of the french fry carton prevents obesity.
The money would be better spent on funding a teen health clinic.
Then how do you explain away the 35% drop in teen pregnancies in Milwaukee after a similar campaign?
What do you think? They are anti teen pregnancy-not anti teen ads and I agree with the woman who said "Whatever it takes" It is reality most teens are not aware of.
I am appalled that there are televisions programs that document the lives of teen "moms", and that there is now a magazine that is devoted to teen motherhood!
I am outraged.
I would agree. What ever it takes. There is seldom a good outcome for either child in this situation. The child mother or the child infant.
The ad campaign is good, but it would be smart to follow it up with actions that show society is no longer "enabling teen mothers". One good starting point would be phasing out the special schools that exist for teen mothers in many school districts. They should be required to attend school with the other students and not given special privileges.

That and this whole glamorizing teen moms. I remember when I was a teen in the 80's it was a horror to be pregnant and a teen. Teen moms were pitied. Now many think it's cool.
I like this campaign and the idiot woman in the video that said it's mean to teen moms, yes it is because it should be a shameful thing to get pregnant or get someone pregnant.
