teen pregnancy

@VoidStalker Said

Unless lawfully married to the bio father, it needs to be recognized as a crime, against the child, the state, and humanity in general.

You're better off not going through it and waiting,
its not easy.
but its also not the end of the world and with a little support and smarts you cn still go on to do what you want in life.

a crime against humanity?

@angelcake Said

This rather childish but to people who think that it should be illegal.

In the USA, we have a huge problem with the welfare OARS (I want a word that rhymes with oars, but won't post it), who teach their daughters that being a welfare OAR is good! We need to jail these women, and their daughters, all the way back to the first generation that did this.

If I knocked a girl up, I'd have to pay child support (and though I might not like that, it would be fair), but paying for some deadbeat welfare OARS brat, that is an atrocity that must end with their kind being forced to payback, with interest and penalties, every penny they ever received in misappropriated public funds.

Really though, why should a child have a child? Why deprive your first born kid from being born into a loving marriage, with financial security (or what must pass for it in our present economic circumstances), and the expectation of siblings in a timely fashion? If a couple fails to wait to have their first, then they may end up with an only child, or kids born 8+ years apart. <shudder>

I'm a teen mother to be, admittedly an older teen mum to be but a teen none the less.

For all intents and purposes our baby was a planned baby and very much wanted and I'm going to university in October to study to be a nurse. I'm under no impression it'll be a walk in the park but with a supportive partner I don't feel that a baby will stop me suceeding in life.
