^empty words. what you said is deluded. what is this christian moral law that will prevent pregnancies? practical prevention and solution needs to be implemented to curb the problem. you can't make parents be good parents, so you have to tackle it from a different angle.
what i propose is much more realistic. there is nothing good about kids in school having children at young age even if some will be okay. birth control and abortions should be available to them. if they don't want to have an abortion, then that's fine. let them and thier parents handle it. if they think they can handle going to school and raising a child then that's fine too. many end up pregnant simply because they do want to get on welfare. some end up this way because birth control was not available to them or they could not ask their parents for it. so it's an issue of facing the problem honestly.
Abortions provide an easy, irresponsible way out for these kids. Abortion teaches that "it's okay if you get pregnant, just come into one of our many convenient locations and terminate your child". It does not teach prevention and should never be an option.
haha, all of you didn't even understand what i said. you just twisted it to the extreme when what i propose is really the only viable solution the the problem. i never said anyone should be forced or even encouraged to have an abortion, just that birth control and abortion should be available to them.
it's pretty clear why so many feel they are comfortable with getting pregnant and that is welfare.
i guess, we can just tiptoe around the issue and rail at parents for not being good parents, kids for having sex and it will not make one iota of difference. lol
I understood what you said, and I think that we should JUST stick to birth control and education.
I love how people on this thread think that is always the girls fault.
Never blame the boys. Always the girls.
Well, whenever we have discussions about abortion on this board, according to many posters, the issue is simply a matter of what a woman wants to do with her body.
The man's rights or consideration for the unborn fetus are a distant second place.
Yeah just like the trailor park communitys in Arkansas that are conservative. So the fruits of a conservative county bring us brother and sister making babies together. Thats alot better I guess. But then again conservatives count on inbreds for votes so keep up the good work.
Where are your links which document an equivalent high school in Arkansas.
It is no longer socially unacceptable.
When it was, there was a better effort made to not become 'shamed'.
When becoming pregnant most often meant you were going to end up married, a better effort was made not to.
When becoming a mother meant your friends kept on with their lives but yours suddenly meant having nothing in common, better efforts were made.
Hell...now it's common to be able to stay in school and you and your friends just carry on but with strollers alongside.
This is a total breakdown of the Christian moral order. Unbridled sexual passion leads to chaos which then leads to despotism. The perfect example is the sexual freedom of the French Revolution leading to a reign of terror just a few years later. The sexual revolution of the Bolshevik revolution almost brought communism to its knees before Stalin reinstated the Moral Order as state policy. Breaking from the sexual moral order and the effect on society was illuminated by Plato in the Republic from 380BC. This is not news, it is moral law.
People control themselves or they will be controlled. These young people in Chicago may think they are having a good time but they are formulating their own demise. Loose sexual morals leads to community destruction. The loose sexual morals and transient relationships of groups like ghetto dwellers and homosexuals are the ethos that are promoted today as "normal". Groups that are known to have the loosest sexual morals are the groups that are promoted as the "coolest". The barrage of porn, obscene music and permissive psychology is how the moral order is being replaced by sexual slavery in western culture.
If people break from the moral order and do not control your own passions they will be controlled by those passions. Loose sexual morals and decadence have been the end of society after society in human history. The one who looks to free your passion is the one who is looking to enslave you.
so passion is a dirty word for you? Mississippi has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in the country ... shall we label them a passionate state?
What exactly is "moral order"? Sounds kind of ummmmmmm ... Orwellian?
I don't think I've heard "loose sexual morals" since Footloose or O Brother Where Art Thou.

Many have nothing.
And having a baby is having something.
So they have a baby.
No deep moral conflict or religious logic needed.
