Seattle’s unintended pregnancy rate. 45 per 1000 women. Kentucky is 40. Try again sport. Tell us also about how well educated Seattle kids are.
They demonstrate again and again they have the Evergreen College mentality. Hard left is not educated.
Good for you.
I was thinking the same thing, given my experiences in Seattle, not to mention the elected officials it inflicts on the the state and the U.S.
Of course, one thing we have to take into account is that the city’s average I.Q. probably rose five percent upon the leave-taking of the great Mr. Douglas.
See my post before this one.
The “high pregnancy rate culture” in Seattle doesn’t mix as much with the rest of the kids. Also, there are so many people in cities that you can just bypass those that are not worth the effort. In middle america there just are not as many people.
Where I live, I’m shocked at all the 20 something single girls that are fat, tattooed smokers in cars with one tire in the junk yard. And I know plenty who’s goal in life is to get pregnant and live off the government in government housing. Seriously, that is their dream. And when you see their parents, you get a feel for why.
The girl my wife is a big sister to for a couple of years now lives with her grandmother. She was sexually abused by her uncle, and all of her aunts and uncles are into some kind of drugs. Her mother died of a drug overdose about three months ago.
Meanwhile, another girl in our church shows up with her mother and three sisters, as well as her grandmother, who always has her oxygen tank connected - and she is only in her mid-50s!
Meanwhile, the 14 year old girl here was molested and worse by her mother’s old boyfriend. He now lives in Texas. Now, they are going to move back in with him in Taxes and he’s apologized for what he did.
And here is the Kicker: The 14 year old is heading down first (bus ticket price stuff and mom needs fewer kids under foot as they get ready to move). Yeah, the 14 year old is going to be there ALONE for a few weeks with the mom’s boyfriend who had sex with her multiple times. And this whole thing is about the mom with such incredibly low self worth. We’ve tried to help these folks every way we could, but it’s like trying to domesticate a coyote.
There is a LOT of that here. It’s not the norm, but it is shockingly common. And in both cases, it can be traced back to the grandmother, and probably before that.
I’m not talking out of my butt on this. These problems are real. In many ways it is like a third world country here. And eastern KY is much worse.
