I can find 21 pregnant teenagers just by trolling the local high school. In the 50s many teens were pregnant and married. In the state of Texas one can be fourteen and pregnant and not underaged.

(Oh, sure. And next you're going to tell us that the fathers of these local high school pregnant girls are across-the-board married men in their 40s & 50s, and that the same was true for all these 1950s teens...)

[Not exactly very healthy or sound input for anybody's soul, Chickensoup...I suggest you rename your moniker]

The biggest issue are that the girls weren’t willing participants in the conception of the babies.

No I was just pointing out that the statistics that are being waved around are not so unusual. Teen does not necessarily mean 14 and there are a fair amount of high school pregnant girls.
