Default Teen Pregnancy - your views?

I am appalled. I just came across this website:

http://www.teenpregnancy.org/

Now, don't get me wrong, I think YOUNG girls getting pregnant may not be the best idea in the world, but I am outraged at the slogan:

Preventing Teen Pregnancy


Me and my partner are both 19 (going on 20) and we are expecting very soon and looking forward to it too. We are both in good jobs, live by ourselves in our own house, and have been doing so for quite some time.

Now tell me, why should someone PREVENT my partner from getting pregnant. I am so p***ed off at some orgs making over-generalised comments etc... just like how females should not get boob jobs till they are well over 20.... that sort of stuff varies from person to person.

Fair enough there are pro's and cons about having a baby at a young age, but I will never regret it, therefore, who's to say teen pregnancy is a bad thing for ALL teens?



What’s your opinion?
