My husband’s mother’s stepdaughter recently got pregnant at sixteen. What do they do? Throw her a baby shower!
Does anyone remember a study done by the late Daniel Moynihan (sp?) in the ‘60s? It predicted very bad consequences for society and what was then called the Negro community, because the unwed birth rate had soared to a then very high 25% of all Negro births.
The politically correct crowd of that era blasted that report as being biased racist and uncaring.
Is society really better off because of the whole “sex revolution”, part of which was not to be judgemental about related matters such as teenage pregnancy and unwed mothers?
We’ve had showers at my church like that, if you can believe it. I understand not beating up on someone for making a mistake, especially when they’re young and stupid (think we’ve all been there). But embracing bad behavior is different. These same young people often go right back out and do it all over again.
The concept of shame is gone.
