You're talking about 43 % of all black children in the United States living in poverty, many of them in single parent heads of household. You're talking about 39 % of all Hispanic children living in poverty, same ground rules. those children who live in the poorest areas and go to the poorest schools don't have the advantages of modern computers, they don't have the big telescopes to look through, and they have teachers in my view who view them with a different mindset.

The problem with so many pregnancies in our society is ignorance. Michael Middleton was correct. I also agree with Suzanne Wagner. Children must be made aware of the pros and cons of sex and that having babies can change and even devastate their lives and career goals. And Carol Parker of Baltimore remarks, welfare does not make teenagers pregnant, but it sure does add to the problem. When the city and state make the parents of these babies having babies take on the responsibility, then maybe there will be a decrease in these pregnancies.
