The writer forgot to mention that 9 out of the top 10 states with the highest abortion rates are blue states (DC was counted). That includes New York and California, so it's hard to believe they were among the states which had the lowest percentage of teen sex.

Don’t forget that abortion is a leftist/secularist ‘family value’.

Break it out by county and you have an entirely different picture. Leftist Detroit behaves a lot worse than the remainder of Michigan. The same goes with Chicago, Philadelphia, etc.

4 Hawaii 23
5 Maryland 22
6 Connecticut 20
7 Nevada 20
8 California 19

Liberals have absolutely no moral authority to criticize Roy Moore when they ignored and covered up for Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and others.

He also failed to point out how many of the Red States are home to huge percentages of African Americans.

That is where you have a issue with crime, drug use, prostitution, teen/unmarried pregnancies and dropping out of school.

Do whites do these things? Of course, but the percentages are higher in the black communities. Far more blacks in Alabama than Oregon, or in Mississippi versus Massachusetts.

When viewed county by county nearly all states are red states. Checkout the 2016 election map :

The modern day Sodom and Gomorrah areas appear to be highlighted in blue.

He’s fudging around the statistics, but there’s an element of truth to what he’s saying. I live in a suburb just outside of San Francisco, and nearly every kid in my neighborhood, of which there are plenty, lives in a two-parent household. The annoying thing to me about the educated affluent white liberals that I’m often surrounded with, is that they adopt pretty traditional family values in their own lives, even as they vote for these Democrats who are destroying traditional families as a matter of public policy. It’s basically, broken families for thee, but not for me.

I live in a very blue state, what we do see in common with red states is behavior in minority populations from low Socio-economic status areas. Whites from low SES areas in red states suffer from the same issues: Teen pregnancy and serial relationships that produce children.

What I’ve always been curious about is the strange phenomena of serial marriages in red states. It’s similar in minority communities in blue states, except they don’t necessarily get married.

I spend a portion of the year in coastal North Carolina, where there are more churches per square mile than anywhere else I’ve been, and yet many of the people I’ve met are on marriage 3 or 4.
I’m not sure how they can afford this...

Typical lies telling half the story. The red states in the South have a very high percentage of the population belonging to a certain dysfunctional demographic.

This huge demographic element did not vote for President Trump. They live on the Democrat plantation. This is the demographic in the South which is responsible for most of the murders and rapes and sexual assaults and other violent crimes.

And there is a secondary demographic in these states which also has a high level of dysfunction such as child sexual abuse. Many of this demographic are not even Americans but live here as illegals. These people shouldn't vote but if they did they didn't vote for President Trump.

In the American South, most of the dysfunction can be laid at the feet of these "Blue State" voters.

The author talked about highs book students, not teenagers so a n 16 year-old dropout did not count. Very selective parsing to get the results he wanted. So she result; the author is a POS a moral scalawag

That’s because 9 out of 10 lefty liberals don’t see lying as wrong.

I bet 75% or more of abortions are teenage pregnancies.

But progressives despise family values. How could the writer fail to understand this?

As always, progressivism defeats itself with its own words.

Stupid analysis unless going county by county. Liberals need to preach what they actually practice. They do tend to raise their families conservatively while preaching liberalism. But they don’t want it for their kids.

Propaganda never has to make sense it just has to fool rich liberal morons to keep them writing checks.
