Unexpurgated comment from a real mom as a pro-choice mother of teenage boys, the fundamentalist view being portrayed nationwide as this teen pregnancy being hailed as a "blessed event" scares the sh** out of me. i live in a rural area that has one of the state's highest teen pregnancy rates. this has been discussed openly in our home because i have witnessed over and over the "joy" little girls portray as they drop out of school and push their baby carriages around town. i have seen the young men drop out of school, get a job to buy diapers just because they had unprotected sex. i have always encouraged my boys to wait to have sex, but i know there are families out there,just like the palins, that will throw a big party for the child-mom who "chooses" to have the baby. i am scared to death of the teen girls who are watching who are hearing just what they want to hear - go ahead - get pregnant. my boys have access to condoms, and i sure hope they use them. and, i can guarantee i keep a closer eye on my boys than sarah palin apparently kept on her daughter. and, even if this pretty young couple gets married, i suppose we'll see another chapter of their "normal" family when they divorce in 3-5 years. How do we know that you didn't author this little snippet? http://tinyurl.com/58x4jq It's there. And it's right on. We're facing a future of an increase in the number of pregnant unmarried girls who will be following the Palin example. Bet on it. Unwed mother pregnancies have been on the increase for years. Can any political leaning claim the highest occurrences? I believe they're down by more than 40% in California, where the schools teach sex ed and contraception. In Texas, where they teach abstinence, they're up substantially. Check those stats...I'm sure you can find them. The teenage birth rate in the United States is the highest in the developed world, and the teenage abortion rate is also high.[3] The U.S. teenage pregnancy rate was at a high in the 1950s and has decreased since then, although there has been an increase in births out of wedlock.[11] The teenage pregnancy rate decreased significantly in the 1990s; this decline manifested across all racial groups, although teenagers of African-American and Hispanic descent retain a higher rate, in comparison to that of European-Americans and Asian-Americans. **********The Guttmacher Institute attributed about 25% of the decline to abstinence and 75% to the effective use of contraceptives.**********[12] [13] However, as of 2006 the teenage birth rate began to rise once again for the first time in fourteen years.[14] This could imply that teen pregnancy rates are also on the rise, however the rise could also be due to other sources: a possible decrease in the number of abortions or a decrease in the number of miscarraiges, to name a few. The Canadian teenage birth has also trended towards a steady decline for both younger (15-17) and older (18-19) teens in the period between 1992-2002.[15] 3 a b c d e f g h UNICEF. (2001).

Retrieved 23 Jan 2007 Note the cite about abstinence versus contraceptives. Contraceptives usually work. Abstinence education usually does not. Interesting. Some facts I was not aware of. When I lived in the Jax area, one of the huge fundie baptist churches was still pushing the teen children of its members to stand up in front of the church and take a pledge of abstinence. I thought that was hilarious. Apparently so did the kids, because in every followup that was released when I lived there, the pregnancy rate among the church's teens kept rising. The church preached abstinence until marriage. So...apparently a lot of those teens who took the bait "abstained" until they were 18, then they got married, the wife got pregnant, and shortly thereafter the kids started divorcing in huge numbers. My wife grew up in the bible belt. When we went to her 20th high school reunion, she said she was just astonished at the high number of kids she knew from fundie families who were on their third and even fourth marriages 20 years later. Preaching "abstention" simply is not a valid way to prevent teen births and kids marrying too young. The reverse - teaching promiscuity - is not the answer, either. The answer that seems to work is to make sure every kid, beginning in junior high, gets a solid education in matters sexual in the public schools, and learns the importance of preventing disease and pregnancy through proper contraception. |

Oh... the 1/2 inch...it was a running joke between my father and me for years. He was 6'2" and as I started growing, he used to kid me that I'd never be any taller. In fact, I did stop at 6'1 for a while, and I thought that was going to be it. But a year later, I grew another inch and a half. We always kidded each other about that "extra half-inch." Until he died. Never confuse height with stature. I never met your father but I'm guessing he had a lot more of that.
