This article from the <\/a>Daily Telegraph\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>records the soaring rate of teen pregnancies in the UK. They have the highest rate of teenage girls getting pregnant in the developed world, and half of them now end by killing the baby.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
The pro aborts actually say\u00a0publicly\u00a0that the 50% abortion rate is a good thing because the stigma of abortion is being lifted. Meanwhile the government ministers admit that the trend is \u2018disturbing\u2019 and believe the solution is yet more explicit sex education, more free condoms and other contraceptives.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It\u2019s madness: Keep doing the same thing and expect a different result. \u201cOh. Throwing that gas on the fire didn\u2019t make it go out!! I guess we didn\u2019t throw enough. Let\u2019s get that big barrel of gas over there and throw that on.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Even accepting the premise that contraceptives are ok (which I don\u2019t) the whole scheme is just about as stupid as stupid can be. Do these people not understand what it is like to be a teenager? Haven\u2019t they read all the studies that explain how the male teen mind does not have the chemicals to adequately connect actions with consequences?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It was summed up by a friend of mine, \u201cGeesh, my teenaged son can\u2019t even put his socks in the laundry basket when he takes them off. Does anybody think he will remember to put on a doodad before jumping in the sack? Once he and the girl have had a couple of drinks the idea of responsibility is totally out the window.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
