If MTV has figured this out, it's very good news.

“”16 and Remorseful”?
Well, of course not. That’s what “Jersey Shore” was for.
Why not just have a show where they HAVE an actual abortion!
show how nice i is for the girl
drop the baby parts into a little sink and fluch them away
MYbe even a LATE TERM abortion so we can watch the baby ‘help’ the doctor by clutching his hand while the babys head is left inside and the body pulled out first, just before the doctor sucks out its brain
/mark
It is very good news!
The ones that have had abortions are devastated and don’t want to talk about it. Because they have been led to believe, abortion is a piece of cake, but, that’s not how it feels. They think there is something wrong with them because they are grieving and don’t know why. It wasn’t suppose to be this way.
When is MTV going to do a show about teens who ABSTAIN?
Pipe dream, I guess. This is liberal, socialist, ammoral hollywood junk after all.
Vermin like that blogger deserve to be executed on sight.
Gee, you think you've seen the bottom and then you realize, hey, the abyss has no bottom.
May MTV be cast into it asap.
Ms. Valenti can simply go jump in the lake. BTW, I wonder if she is related to the late Jack Valenti ?
The trend of teen-aged girls keeping their babies is nearly as bad as abortion. It’s a disaster all the way around, especially for the child. Closed adoption is the only answer in the case of teen pregnancy and immature 20-somethings pregnancies. But abstinence until marriage is still the only truly safe alternative especially when you consider all of the STDs and AIDS. Certain STDs are a life-long sentence and AIDS is still a death sentence. Why would anyone want to risk that?
“Where are the pregnant teens who choose not to stay pregnant? Where are the abortions?” she complains. “If MTV really wanted to prove themselves as responsible programmers, they would also feature pregnant teens who have abortions.”
I wish they would show that. It would be great for the pro-life movement. Show the abortion, then show the grief and the remorse. I’m sure this idiot would complain even more if they did. I’m sure her questions would then be: “Why aren’t they happy? Shouldn’t they be relieved?” No, you moron, they just killed their child, and they only came to that realization too late, and it can’t be undone...ever.
” Where are the abortions?” she complains. “If MTV really wanted to prove themselves as responsible programmers, they would also feature pregnant teens who have abortions.”
Hmmm...great programming. Let’s feature 5 girls that had an abortion. That would make riveting television.
There are a few factors Ms. Valenti failed to consider about this particular show:
1) The casting process for MTVs reality programming works as most others...they put out a notice and filter out potential cast members from there. If pregnant teens who had or were going to have an abortion didn’t respond in numbers equal to those of other pregnant teens, the chances of their stories making it on air are less.
2) Most of the teens featured in the first season were well into their pregnancies. Also, labor, delivery, and early infancy were featured more than the pregnancies in many cases.
3) Appearing on the show requires parental consent. Take from that what you will...
4) On the follow up show “Teen Mom”, a few of the pregnant teens from “16 and Pregnant” are shown raising their babies or dealing with giving a baby up for adoption. One cannot be a Teen Mom if one never gave birth.
It recognizes the fact that young Americans are more pro-life than previous generations.

Ironic. It almost seems that it took abortion, to stop abortion.
