Accrington Web - View Single Post - Why we should sterilise teenage girls ... temporarily at least

It's a terrible question, isn't it? When I was a teenager it was unacceptable to have a child "out of wedlock". Sure, girls got pregnant, but it was either marry the father or give the baby up for adoption.

I don't think the reality of parenting is hammered home hard enough to young girls these days. I also think young boys are left out of the equation far too readily. Biologically, it takes two, and we're too ready to condemn the girls while absolving the boys.
