Todd and Sarah eloped because she was already knocked up!
Did it ever occur to that they really did NOT have any money? Nor did their families.

They had a real wedding all planned. Then suddenly, they eloped. Their little spawn was born seven and a half months later. Do the math.

Idiots or hypocrites?
You must be talking about yourself.

There's no evidence ANYWHERE that explicit sex instruction and free contraceptives has the slightest effect on teen pregnancy.

Perhaps you'd be interesting in knowing what DOES? I do know. And you'd NEVER guess...

The folly of explicit teen sex instruction is... almost beyond belief.

Again... I know what works... and you'll never guess what that is. It requires no free condoms, no free pills, no explicit classes, and works wonders in young lives. Reduces crime, teen pregnancy, gang membership, and it works in rich schools but MUCH more effectively in poor ones, especially inner city ghetto schools.

I guess that's why all countries with explicit sex ed have a teen pregnancy rate which is a fraction of yours.
You're going to tell me abstinence works? It didn't work for Sarah Palin. Or her daughter. Or her son.

Well, if you're going to choose your beliefs by wild *** guesses, I can see why you constantly leap to worthless conclusions. And, again, sex education has pretty much ZERO impact. There are other factors.

I can see why you'd question it, after all, he is a Democrat.
If you think Democrats have party purity tests, you are mistaken. Any Democrat can voice his opinions as he chooses, even if others vehemently disagree. Democrats don't mind internal disagreements; it's a long party tradition.

However, if an Alaskan Republican would have said that, I'm sure we would be talking about it here now. Palin turned out to be the best friend Alaskan Democrats ever had.

I'm going to go ahead and predict a deflection or attempted source discredit in advance, so before you do that please go through sources listed at the bottom of the PDF as the organization responsible is relaying others work.
