The sad fact is that these girls parents failed them miserely.  They chose not to have the schools teach their children basic reproductive education and on top of that did not teach them at home.

So now we tax payers will have to pay for the next 18 years due to their misguided beliefs.

I propose that the parents of these children bearing childrens shoulder the entire cost for the next 18.

Comment #18931 - sorry abstinence only works if the person choose’s it (pro choice) for themselves.  Face it, there will be some that will practice abstinence and there will be some that don’t.  Teaching both in schools is the right thing to do.  Teach them abstinences is the only to prevent prgenacy and desease.  But if you are going to have sex, condoms, birth control, std checks, how std’s are contracted all have to be taught also.

Unfortunately the attitude of far too many people is “she’s had sinned and now must pay for it.” So long as we allow narrow minded men look upon children as punishment lead us, we will keep moving back to the stone age.

i’m no bible-thumping republican, and i’m all for contraception training in GRADE-school health ed programs, but let’s face-it, abstinence is one hundred percent effective… pass it on!
