I think about liberal idiots who think no one is aware of using protection and how it's available at thousands of stores across the country. Or how keeping your clothes on can help.

They had sex?

I guess it really depends on if they are 13, 16, or 18 on the reaction. 13, OMG, what kind of parents do they have.

16, Well I hope she can find a normal life.

18, Just another pregnant woman.

What situation? The government will provide her free housing, free food stamps, completely free maternity care and pediatric care, WIC, free day care and babysitting, and even free cash money for 5 years.

See where I live, the situation they got themselves into is even better because most pregnant teens here speak Spanish and the situation is now going to be US citizenship and never having to worry about working for a living which would be the case on their own side of the border.

No offense taken. Teen girls who get pregnant do in fact (on average) have lower IQs than their non-pregnant counterparts. I first read about this years ago in the Bell Curve book.

#3 Arkansas hardly has any Blacks or Hispanics, Hispanic percentage is around 5%

Hispanics make up 5 percent of the Arkansas population, but account for 9 percent of Arkansas births
