…And Therefore Became Pregnant.
Teen pregnancies are on the rise for the first time since 1991. Here's the link to the New York Times report on the matter. A Heritage fellow, Valerie Huber, stated this teen pregnancy business is not a-cuz of abstinence-only education, dammit, "this is all part of a coordinated plan by historic opponents of abstinence education." An impressively swift reply to the report transmitted to us here on Earth via satellite from Amalthea, the third-closest moon to Jupiter, where Huber's recently taken up residence.
Speaking of teen pregnancy, did you ever see The Education of Shelby Knox on PBS?
