Bush policies likely to blame for more teen births [Cynthia Tucker alert]

Cynthia Tucker is really an incredible woman. She’s written literally thousands of columns over decades of being a journalist, and over all those columns has somehow managed a perfect record - she has never been right one single time in her entire life. You can make investment decisions based on the inevitable truth of the opposite of whatever she writes. In fact, the absolute best thing the global warming cultists could do for their cause would be to convince Cynthia Tucker that there is no global warming and have her write a column making that point; no surer proof for global warming could possibly exist.

It takes a special kind of talent to be that dumb.

Hey Cynthia you b*tch drop dead. It’s up to parents to put the fear of God into their teenagers and that would solve the problem. When you have a whole segment of society becoming grandmothers by the age of thirty you should probably start considering sterilization.

Oh my goodness, this article is (or rather, should be) embarassing for the author. Her lack of understanding of even the most basic fundamentals of social science and statistics is breathtaking.

I don’t know about this article. Right now, I’m a researcher for a doctor who is writing a book about politically correct sex education (her name is Dr. Grossman; she wrote the fabulous book “Unprotected.”) It seems that the most effective way to curb teen pregnancy is to isolate high-risk girls (usually those from low-income families who do poorly in school) and encourage them to aspire to more in life than unwed motherhood and view having sex as a self-respect issue. When girls are taught to respect themselves and have goals in life (as opposed to “have sex when you’re ready and use condoms,” which is what liberals want), they are much less likely to get pregnant.

Oh, and they usually don’t get pregnant because they choose abstinence. Condoms have little to do with it. Girls who feel like unwed motherhood is the best they’ll ever get from life don’t care if they get pregnant.

Thank you. Your reasoning was the first thing I thought of.

And, schools that refuse to teach Judeo-Christian values and instead teach liberal nostrums as FACTS. Parents from the ‘60’s are numbskulls usually and think that their progeny are good blank slates for the old Jane Fonda-Tom Hayden-Dr. Spock mentality. With that and their love for socialism and pacifism which is also taught in schools, kids are inundated with propaganda.
