ok lets see if this worked...ETA WHO HOOO it did! Thanks folks! so (not picking on anyone specifically) on other threads we vilify people who say those who live at the lower end of the economic spectrum are there because they accept that its ok to not be successful and to be supported by someone else, but here it's ok to use the counter-argument in a chi-chi area to support low pregnancy rates. Yet another double standard Potato/tomato. If you wanted to argue that high pregnancy rates in lower income areas happen because there is less to lose, that's the counter argument here. And I won't disagree with you on that.

It is what it is. An unwed pregnancy isn't looked upon as adding to the coffers in an upscale community. It's looked at with annoyance that you were stupid enough to engage in sex without the proper protection. It's dealt with so the child can go on with her life free of a bad decision. Whether she wants to dealt with or not, I'm afraid. The consequences of said girl not going along with her parents wishes can be severe. I'm still amazed DD didn't pull this shit on me. It'd be just like her to. Maybe she cared about herself more than she seemed to. Anyway, I'm grateful.
