Wow, what a dumb thing to say. In this day and age, with the divorce rate what it is, there are lots of children being raised by single parents. Sometimes you don't get a choice.
Single parent home or not, that shouldn't determine where you fall on the abortion issue, or how you want it presented to your child.
I should have clarified. I believe it is more likely for a young girl to have sex when there is not a strong father in her life. Single mothers can and often do make sure their children have a strong fatherly role model. But too often the children of single mother just don't have that very important influence in their lives.
I was not speaking about what children are taught about abortion. But the women who wrote the article obviously thought the age of the pregnant girls was a valid argument for abortion. So answering the question of why these girls had sex can go a great deal towards taking that argument out of the pro death roster.
