Then explain the majority of kids who never get pregnant,or get anyone else pregnant before they get married? We are not animals. We can make decisions.

They put themselves into positions where they are apt to end up at that point. In addition the culture glorifies sex without responsibility, parents in many (not all) cases are absent or uninvolved, unwed pregnancy is not much of a big deal as far as they can see, and people say, “hey, kids will be kids.” What do you expect?

Hi Brytlea, I truly hope you aren’t too disillusioned about what I’m about to say. I type medical reports day in and day out, and I’m still amazed at the number of 12-year-old girls who are being brought in by their mothers for birth control to “help regulate” them.

By the time they’re 14, they’re coming in for a pelvic exam and being warned to always use protection due to STDs. Many don’t heed those warnings and end up being tested for GC/Chlamydia, etc., at a very young age.

Also, their mothers, realizing the risk of HPV with multiple partners (or even one partner if he’s had several partners), are having them vaccinated with Gardisil to help prevent cervical cancer.

It bothers me to know the number of sexual partners these girls (and guys) have by the time they reach college age, but sadly, that’s what’s going on in Smalltown, America.

actually we are animals capable of amazing things, abstract thought, etc., with our brain. Even a cursory look at our biology indicates we are, at our base, animals at some level, and still exhibit an amazing number of behaviors and reactions relating to such.

I would say it is more fair to suggest social conventions which controlled consequences of impregnation out of wedlock have simply vanished to a great degree in the US.
