Lifelike baby dolls designed to deter teenage girls from having children actually raise pregnancy rates, a major study suggests. The teenage pregnancy prevention programme, which is used in schools around the world, does not seem to work, according to the first proper trial to test it. Girls who took part were more, not less, likely to become pregnant compared to those who did not take part.

Lots of teenage girls want to be pregnant because it is a form of a status symbol at school. They don’t think about the fact that it’s not going to be a baby forever and they are going to be responsible for it for a long time.

Having a baby really isn’t that hard. You wanna deter teenagers from getting pregnant ?

Take them to dinner and a movie one night. The next night, take them to dinner and a concert. Next night, to dinner and their favorite sporting event.

Then tell them that’s the last time until they are 50. Oh, and wake them up every 20 minutes for 2 years.

“needed to be tended to at 2am every morning “

That would be a dream come true to me.

Hey - maybe women are supposed to have babies. Maybe men are supposed to become responsible, have good jobs, and be fathers in an industrialized western civilization and outnumber those Muslim refugees who are planning on overtaking our countries with their high birth rates.

How many decades has this push for European whites to reduce their family size been going on? The globalists are invading the European and American society with Islamists and they expect to be parasites off of hard working people. This is eventually going to be the way the globalists reduce the world’s population to the size these self-appointed scientific gods think is necessary.

Not familiar with that story. Mine was a news story in that the fake baby also recorded things. One day the daughter left that fake at home and of course it went into its wailing routine. The dad knew it was a fake and tried to stop the screaming. He batted it around and all and later on either the daughter or her dad were accused of child abuse (yes, even though it was fake) ... tried to find original story but no luck.

We had a couple of bouts of it; one time right after my son got his shots. He was especially cranky, too. Projectile vomiting is a sight to behold. How is it possible that a little tiny baby can expel milk curd three feet!

Here is a link...

Ahh, yes, yet another fantastic study!

Amazing how when you start delving down you find the more fascinating bullet points, such as how the study tracked the students until age 20 AND THEN measured how many got pregnant.

And then, of course, the conclusion that the dolls increase the rate of pregnancy; is the rate of pregnancy for those 18-20 a serious concern? Myself, I’m more concerned as to the rates for those under 18.

Ultimately, most of these studies are aimed at population control, not actually looking out for the health and welfare of people.

For some reason all these progressive brainy-acs can not fathom the reality that sex is all about babies.

I once worked with a church youth group where a girl came in with one of these dolls. All the other girls instantly went over to play with it. What modern feminist do not want to admit is that girls/women are genetically predisposed to want to have and care for babies. It is part of their nature that makes them female. All the social engineering in the world is not going to change this.

Unintended consequences strike back.
*****************
I don’t know if this is really an “unintended consequence” ,, remember these are the same schools that seek to drive business to Planned Parenthood... and the same government that still pushes the “D.A.R.E.” “antidrug” program to teens and pre-teens when it has been proven to de-sensitize children to the dangers of drugs and normalizes the use of drugs to them.. it appears to be nothing more than a way for cops to ensure continued easy arrests... gotta keep their numbers up ... these simulated parenting dolls do the same ,, they normalize and diminish the acts they purport to try to reduce.

I don’t trust them at all ,, my kids are being fed “common core” right now because that’s what keeps $$$$$ flowing into !JEB!’s pockets... not because it’s a better way to teach ,, not that the info in the schoolbooks is more accurate ... but simply to pay off the connected few and dumb our kids down into serfdom.
