For the second time in two years, an Argentine teenager has given birth to female triplets, BBC News reports.
The 16-year-old, who goes only by the name of Pamela, first gave birth to triplets at the age of 15.

The poster I was responding to was recalling this graphic.
Yes...we seem to have a handle on what she does with her nights.
It sounds as though she just never wastes time telling any man her last name.
That's a va-jay-jay-jay-jay-jay-jay-..........to you, buddy
Yeah, right. there is no doctor who would do that to a 15 year old.
And, though showing poor judgment, her decisions are no worse than those of literally millions, tens of millions of other girls who have had sex at ages 15 and 16 but haven't been so fertile.
This is a sad, all-bad-adjectives situation. But your principle is worse because, extended equitably, would call for the sexual maiming of millions of girls and woman, presumable against their wills.
--- And we haven't even begun talking about whether we should similarly mutilate the corresponding millions of boys (or, more probably, grown men.)
Bottom line: your comments --- even about how you'd treat your own daughter --- seem to show a lack of discernment about how to deal with rational creatures.
“The largest number of children born to one woman is recorded at 69. From 1725-1765 a Russian peasant woman gave birth to 16 sets of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets.”
At the risk of sounding a bit “earthy”, that woman’s “moneymaker” must have looked like an outfielder’s mitt after all that work. Absolutely incredible.
If a child does not have the sense to stop herself, someone else who is responsible will have to step in and do it for her. Those are 7 lives that resulted from reckless behavior, ones that probably will not have very bright futures (short of their being adopted). Not to let the males off the hook, either. I’d disembowel a male who knocked up my 15 year old.
But some of this idiocy is clearly inherited. When I met my former fiancee a decade ago (then 18), her grandmother had a “contest” between her and my fiancee’s cousin (then 15) encouraging one or the other to get pregnant out of wedlock as soon as could be to give her her first great-grandchild (and her grandmother was the same age as my parents). Fortunately, I and my fiancee had the reason and sense not to indulge her deranged and irresponsible granny. My fiancee’s cousin, unfortunately, did.
At least the American taxpayer doesn’t have to finance her.
What a disgusting post about a family that has 2 parents and are self supportive.
Someday those children in your post are going to be taxed to death so the baby boomers can rest comfortably in their nursing homes.
Maybe they march to a different beat than most folks, but they are a far cry from the situation described in the original post.
Um, madam, that graphic (which I did NOT create, thank you for asking) has been floating around for some time. It was meant for levity. It accompanies that which the poster was commenting on, NOT this story.
It doesn’t matter who created it...it is still disgusting that you would reproduce it.
You think it’s funny -that’s perogative.
I think it is demeaning and insulting - that is my perogative.
It is especially odd that particular family would be mocked on a conservative forum.
How many of the 69 lives into adulthood?
funniest typo I've seen all week...
Lighten up, baby. It’s Friday.
putting VAGINA beneath a nice family photo isn’t funny....sorry.
I’m with “scotswife” on this one ... that “graphic” is crass and lacks any sort of redeeming characteristic.
I notice the graphic doesn’t have a PENIS anywhere in sight as well.
