Actually UUs have the lowest abortion rates and the lowest teen pregnancy rate of any denomination. Surprising, but true.
Much lower than Catholics or Baptists.
Why should there not be a stigma for unwed teen moms? Those close to them will still love them and care for them. Society at large however cannot just come out and tell young teen girls this is a great thing and it’s wonderful if it happens to them.
Sorry, the only hope to keep the numbers of unwed teen moms down is to continue to make it an unpleasant societal situation to be in. The only thing that can help is to have it have negative consequences. Otherwise there’s nothing wrong with it, there’s no worry if they become unmarried moms.
