NY Times ^ | March 6, 2013 | Kate Taylor

The curly-haired baby looks out from the poster with sad eyes and tears dripping down his tawny cheeks.

“I’m twice as likely not to graduate high school because you had me as a teen,” the text next to his head reads.

In another poster, a dark-skinned little girl casts her eyes to the sky and says, “Honestly Mom ... chances are he won’t stay with you. What happens to me?”

Golly...If Obama had a grandchild, he could look like either one of those.

And he’d gladly kill it

"“It’s not teen pregnancies that cause poverty, but poverty that causes teen pregnancy,” she said. "

Riiiight.

Why don’t people admit that sex causes babies?

Actually, Planned Parenthood is horrified by the campaign. Probably because it might mean fewer abortions for them to make money on. Not that they’d ever admit it.

Couldn’t read the fine print of what they were promoting. It’s not a bad idea though of promoting resonsibility and keeping your knees together either from a childs point of view

“Teen” pregnancy is not the issue. Out of wedlock pregnancy is the problem. My mother married at 18, fresh out of high school, she was barely 19 when my older brother was born 11 months later. She was still 19 when my big sister was born less than 11 months after that.

We all graduated high school, and none turned juvenile delinquint. Sheesh!

doesn’t seem to be promoting abstinance if they don’t associate pregnancy with sex instead of poverty

Poverty causes pregnancy? I thought sex caused it. Silly me.

If Government really cared about public health, it would discourage anal sex.

Post this fact on an article about Bloombergs soda ban and watch the hate.

We’re not supposed to talk about how sex has consequences. If ads like this cause people to think twice, it would be good.

But, the thought should be NOT to do certain things if you are not ready to be a parent. If our amoral society sends a message to just abort consequences if they happen, that’s not good.

What happened to “ I made a mistake, but I'm going to provide the best life I can for my baby?”

Instead, we have baby pictures, telling the unwed mother that all is doom and gloom. Yes, ok, there is gloom, perhaps a bit of doom..but that's LIFE!

If Planned Parenthood is against these posters than they must be great.

And if Planned Parenthood is against these posters, I am ALL FOR These posters!
