Great that she didn’t have an abortion, but I think that the normalization of out of unwed motherhood is indecent, and that having sex with someone who doesn’t care about you and abandons you when they get you pregnant is the opposite of an achievement. If teenagers were as.horrified by the idea of unwed motherhood as my friends and I were when we were growing up, there wouldn’t be this skyrocketing rate of illegitimacy.

I appreciate your point --- I really do --- and it is indeed a fine line we walk. On the one hand, you don't want to "valorize" uwed teenage childbearing. On the other hand, way, way too many high schools (not to mention colleges/universities) have, semester after semester, lots of pregnancies and never a childbirth.

Schools now have "LGBT Health and Inclusion Initiatives" to serve and affirm students with sex and gender-related disorders--- and do no make the least accommodation to students with children.

In any case --- not to get too far off the subject of the thread --- they gave the students guidelines for these pictures; she met the guidelines; they should greenlight the picture.

Or is healthy live birth the only sexuality-related experience that cannot be countenanced in public?
