Ok,
1. The vast majority of speeders are not racing an injured child to the hospital
2. The vast majority of people outside of a doctors office with a needles in their arms are not diabetic.
3. The vast majority of pregnant graduating seniors are not valedictorians, married to the father of the child, who has the means to support them both and himself.

I'd rather they graduated pregnant than got an abortion.
Yes, the ideal is to wait until after graduation to get married, and to wait for marriage before you have sex. We all know that.
Nevertheless, getting pregnant out of wedlock has always been a lot more common than we'd like. Studies show that as many as one in three first born children born to women in Colonial days were born significantly less than 9 months after marriage.
Back in those days, women didn't go to high school.
