I didn’t know that her teenage son had gotten pregnant.

Right? I feel like that would be the bigger news story, here.

You may think you’re making a fun point, but teenage girls don’t get pregnant just by showing their midriff and the occasional bra strap, typically a teenage boy is equally participating in the pregnancy. We’re pregnant make a lot more sense than She’s pregnant, and I’m just window dressing. Bobbert raised morons who couldn’t or wouldn’t wear a condom, I know a fair amount of guys my age (40s) that don’t have a single kid, it’s not impossible. They weren’t geniuses, they just wore condoms.

That’s how bad it can get without sex-ed.

Teen pregnancy is the point.

So much of the current White Replacement hysteria revolves around white woman not having enough babies.

Can’t be overstated how that plays into a conservative hatred for sex ed

Yup, as far as they’re concerned white girls need to become breeding slaves to save the so-called white race.

It reeks of sexual pathology.

Same thought process as people who were beat with belts and “turned out fine”.

How would sex ed help? Pretty sure everyone knows having sex makes babies.

When you don’t have actual sex ed, you’re taught that the only way to avoid pregnancies, diseases, shaming your family, and running your life is to remain abstinent until marriage.

I don’t know if you’ve met many teenage humans, but abstinence is a pretty tall task to ask of them.

If they spend all their alimony surviving and taking care of their kid, they can’t spend time thinking about the shite job the republicans are doing.
