We shouldn’t assume these are “poor choices”; at this point they are “career choices” by people with limited (or no) skills to offer employers. The left operated under the assumption these were “choices” and flooded urban schools with birth control, and it did nothing; as these “youths” approach high school graduation (often still illiterate), this was a way to get housing and free stuff - the start of their “careers” breeding clients for government education, social workers, and other services. They made their deal with the Devil, and traded their offspring for a life of leisure as part of the “poverty industry” (which lucratively employs many at the taxpayers’ expense).
Those are very good points.
