You think her daddy, a repubican, would support her choice?Very witty Chaz. But speaking of "Chaz", you don't have to be born male. If you have enough money, you can always CHOOSE to be male, and get rid of all those freakish girly parts.
Case in point:
Teen pregnancy rate up after 10-year decline - Yahoo! News
WASHINGTON (Reuters) The U.S. teen pregnancy rate rose in 2006 for the first time in more than a decade, reversing a long slide, a U.S. think tank reported on Tuesday.
The overall teen pregnancy rate was up 3 percent in 2006, with a 4 percent rise in the rate of births and a 1 percent rise in the rate of abortions, according to the report by the Guttmacher Institute.
The United States has higher rates of teen pregnancy, birth and abortion than in other Western industrialized countries.
There were 71 pregnancies per 1,000 U.S. girls aged 15-19. In 2006, 7 percent of all teenage girls got pregnant, according to the report.
Fewer black teenage girls got pregnant, closing a gap with Hispanic teens. But rates among both groups were still significantly higher than for white teens, the report said, and rates went up for all ethnic groups.
We do know that when we saw the big decline in the '90s, that a lot of that decline was due to improved contraceptive use among teens."
The abstinence-only programs, backed by many social conservatives who oppose the teaching of contraception methods to teenagers in U.S. schools, received about $1.3 billion in federal funds since the late 1990s.
The Obama administration's 2010 budget eliminated spending for abstinence-only, shifting funds to pregnancy prevention education that include abstinence along with "medically accurate and age-appropriate" information.
New Mexico led the states with the highest teenage pregnancy rate with nine percent, followed by Nevada, Arizona, Texas and Mississippi.
New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Minnesota and North Dakota had the lowest rates of teen pregnancies.
$1.3 billion to the abstinence-only programs? What a waste.
But hey, all of this new evidence is definitive proof that the abstinence-only program as a whole fails and contraceptive use by teens works.
Quite interesting which states have the highest and lowest rates though.
Thoughts USMB?
I am not sure Bush would know what to do with a woman.
Check the stats and you'll find the Hispanic immigration to the south exploded between 1995 and 2005.

The evidence is that sex ed taught without encouraging abstinence is every bit as big a failure as teaching abstinence only.
Well, teen pregnancy did increase during Bush's presidency. Abstinence doesn't work now, just as it didn't when you were a teen.Damn Bush, he's at it again.
those rubbers thay give out are very effective.
Beats using a bible anyday to prevent pregnancy and disease spread.
Wrong, that one has also failed in the recorded past. Poor Jewish girl in a backwards Roman province as I recall.
The only 100% effective method to prevent one's self from getting pregnant is to be born male.
It's not because of abstinence programs, it's because of the free-falling moral decline (more pregnancies to start with at increasingly younger ages) and the Juno movie, there was an explosion of girls keeping their children to term

Case in point:
As long as it's not taught as abstinence only and gives all of the option young men and women have, I'm all for it being part of the modern equivalent of "Health Class".

Genocide of America and the American way of life by way of abortion was never my plan, was it yours?
I heard on the radio that today's kids are noticing the absence of other kids, realizing why and are a bit angered by it, if it's true the tide is definately turning.
That was the one thing that broke my heart when my first born found me and we talked at length about his childhood. Adoptions are so rare any more that he was the only one and he caught some grief about it. That wrecked me, and I thought, I wonder how many of those kids giving him a hard time about being adopted had aborted siblings. Probably a ton.

You really don't like women to have rights at all?
You need to stop listening to Ann Coulter.
These women need to work on their oral sex technique .
The evidence is that sex ed taught without encouraging abstinence is every bit as big a failure as teaching abstinence only.
I wonder if its occurred to anyone: Teenagers are Stupid?
This is why throughout most of human history, they have never been allowed in the same ROOM with the opposite sex without adult supervision.

You need to stop listening to Ann Coulter.
I thought you kind of women got rid of that kind of women by now.
Ann and people like JenT seem to want to put Women's rights back to 1820. Why? I have no idea at all. It'd be like an African American saying that they should all go back to being slaves, it boggles the mind.
