This from a young woman who previously said abstinence was not realistic.

When I was a teenager I tried out just every opinion on the planet and I'm still trying to find what fits exactly.

I guess when the reality of a newborn child sets in, abstinence would start to make sense. Although, as she admits herself she is in a position where she can "afford" to make that mistake. I'd imagine most young mothers who find out about the realities of it all are up the creek without a paddle (and with a baby, to boot) at that point.

Kids think they know it all. It's not until they start growing up that they realize they didn't!

Then there is also some people learn the easy way and some people learn the hard way. She should go to school and get a masters degree in political science and then run for office. I think her mother's going to win the Republican nomination.

No way in hell would they give the nomination to someone who walked out in the middle of her term as governor in the midst of multiple scandals.

Politics have sunk pretty low, but not that low.

I think she can win the Republican nomination but not the presidency. The only person who can beat her if Mitt Romney. But getting back to the topic.

This is good news, from the article:

At present three in ten girls in the U.S. get pregnant by age 20, there are more than 400,000 teen births annually, and this nation is in the unenviable position of having the highest rates of teen pregnancy and childbearing in the industrialized world.

The Obama Administration and Congress have made $185 million available this year for proven efforts to prevent too-early pregnancy and childbearing. This timely and much-needed investment reflects the seriousness of the task ahead.

In addition to this important effort, there is much else that needs to be done: Parents need to be more parental and recognize that their influence has not been lost to peers and popular culture; more teens need to recognize the value of delaying sexual activity; more sexually active teens need to understand the critical importance of using contraception consistently and carefully every time; and all of us concerned about too-early pregnancy and parenthood must press hard for engaging and innovative approaches to preventing teen pregnancy.

U.S. teen birth rate decreases for the first time in three years

Statement from The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy The nation's teen birth rate declined 2% in 2008, according to data released by
