"As we’ve said before, preventing abortion means preventing unplanned pregnancies and supporting mothers. This includes teen mothers."

I have to agree. The school would rather her enter their on site abortion clinic and kill the child.

The year book should be about the students, not their families. There is little difference between a student who poses with their child or one that poses with a sibling or a parent, uncle, aunt or grandparent.

In my opinion, the school was correct in rejecting the picture.

She took the picture ... with the baby. Not the weirdest idea for a school yearbook photo (which honor goes to ventriloquist Jeff Dunham ...

who apparently thought that was a good idea) ... but still strange.

“The school asked students to have their picture taken with something that best represents them or an achievement.” With those guid lines they are lucky that they did not get a pitcher of some someone humping the head chearleaded.

This here’s the problem right here. For Caitlin it was a baby. I wonder how many others wanted a picture of their X-box. Or facebook page. Or something equally important.

Was the baby graduating? No? Then he shouldn’t have been in the picture.

Tiller chose her son because he represented her drive to stay in school. The school didn’t see it that way. Caitlin says she was told the picture promoted teen pregnancy. She sees it as a symbol of responsibility and love.

I'm with the girl who didn't drop out of school with millions of other girls in that same situation.

I graduated from law school 35 years ago with a two year old son. At KU we walk down the hill and through the bell tower to the ceremony. I wish I had carried him with me that day. When he walked down the hill in 2007 I lost it. It took him longer than he brother or any of his cousins - due to health issues he could hardly walk but he did it.

In my opinion, that's a leap to an incorrect conclusion. My immediate reaction was that it was nice to see a public school discouraging the currently-stylish celebration of unwed motherhood.

For Pete's sake, in the sixties, pregnant girls had to leave school altogether, but that was not a policy designed to encourage abortion. And, yes, I know it's not the sixties anymore.

Still. This is a decision to be applauded.
