"Noemi Loera, 18, who began pregnant at 15, is not sure easier access to birth control would have made a difference to hear."
Not only that, they need a new editor at their newspaper!!!

Lack of knowledge coupled with a majority of students having their first sexual encounter at 12 is a dangerous mix.How about some statutory rape prosections for the males involved? Usually the younger the girls are, the older the boys/men.
Birth control pills aren't going to do a bit of good in a society where girls don't know how babies are made until they're pregnant. One can only imagine what a shambles their famililies are. Someone should be protecting these girls, but given the absence of parents, it's hard to figure out who.

La Clinica de Familia La Clinica de Familia obviously isn't aimed at American families. These young ignorant girls are giving birth to new little citizens for the American taxpayers to support.

notice of course that term was not used at all throughout the article. Also, how the hell is it possible for a 12 yr old to get pregnant?!

> Young girls getting pregnant is nothing new
When I was in school, a pregnancy was shocking and almost unheard of. For a class of about 400, there were zero pregnancies in grade school, zero in junior high, and one in high school. I suppose this reporter would think I grew up in the Jurassic era.
The difference between then and now is liberalism. My generation was taught the difference between right and wrong. Liberals say there is no right or wrong, everything is relative, do anything you wish -- and they added sex education to teach kids how. Liberals threw out all the moral rules given us by 3,000 years of Western Civilization. Then after doing hell's handiwork for a century, they wonder why the country is going to hell.

Because of nutrition and other factors, girls are hitting puberty at an earlier age.

I think they are born pregnant.

YES....a pregnancy for a young girl used to be scorned...and looked down upon....now it's celebrated...(NOT ME, not anymore, by the way.) Creating little bastards has become a business for lots of agencies to take care of, IMHO.

Early childbearing is a feature of Mexican culture. Once, these girls would have been married at 13 or 14, under the control of men who expected them to be domestic slaves while the men slept around. In some ways, they're better off than their grandmothers would have been - they're in school (hopefully learning to read), they're not married to machitos and slaving for mothers-in-law. There's a possibility that they could get a real life.
If the schools want to do anything to help, they shouldn't be handing out contraceptives so the girls can be used as whores. They need to be teaching them there are possibilities in life other than being a doormat, and (lest we forget) providing a decent education instead of drivel.

Liberals say there is no right or wrongYou summed up the problem very well. Multiculturalism is just the latest euphemism of the left for the elimination of any traditional sense of morality or ethics.
To: Holly_P
I have heard the term "anchor child" which may apply here.
