150 years ago 16 years olds got married and had families, but we aren’t in that age any longer.
Exactly. 150 years ago, the life expectancy was much shorter.
The problem isn’t so much the having a child at 17, it’s the unmarried part. Out of wedlock births are rampant and the statistics say that most of them will end up on welfare. Get married and support your kids & I don’t really care if you’re 17, it’s cranking them out for welfare benefits and expecting the taxpayers to pay your and your offspring’s way through life that I have a problem with.
