it's RAT arithmetic... one useless eater becomes two useless eaters, becomes three, etc, etc, etc that ALL VOTE RAT!!!Because we have a welfare system that rewards teen girls without HS degrees who have babies out of wedlock. By what crazy calculus would anyone think a teen girl would make a good mom?
In my genealogy data base I find lots of 14-15 year old girls getting married. Within a year they are having the first of their dozen or so children. (Usually with the same husband, until death do they part.)
It was not uncommon 100+ years ago. Now we try to treat them as children until they're 26.
social engineering...

Maybe you could have worded that a little differently. There was a time when any young woman who was not MARRIED AND A MOTHER while still in her teens was considered an old maid. I was born during WWII and it was quite common for girls as young as ten or even younger to be expected to care for their younger siblings and they did a fine job of it, even being left alone with them. The problem is not that a teen age girl is too young it is that unmarried, uneducated, ignorant, drug using, undisciplined girls cannot be trusted even with a puppy, let alone a child and that is true even if the girl in question is 35.
I would venture that the average twelve year old girl I knew in my youth was far more mature in terms of accepting and handling responsibility than the average twenty year old is today, possibly even more than the average thirty year old today. That could be the situation again some day but if so it will come about out of dire necessity because there are far too few responsible adults available to teach that kind of responsibility to young people now. I rode to school on buses driven by sixteen and seventeen year old students and they did a fine job, I don’t recall a single serious accident, in fact the only accident of any kind I recall involving a bus driven by a teenager was the result of the buses sliding off the road on slick red clay mud, something that even the most skillful drivers could not prevent sometimes, those teenagers drove school buses on roads that a lot of people now couldn’t navigate with a four wheel drive pickup truck.
