Teen Birth Rate Rises for First Time in 15 Years

[AKA_Monet]

Giving some data as published... Although this is coming from the Washington Times... AND THIS SAYS NOTHING about what I think on the subject...

The costs of nonmarital sex and family breakdown equal the bailouts of mortgage-finance giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Unwed childbearing and divorce cost taxpayers $112 billion a year (Institute for American Values), "father absence" costs taxpayers $100 billion a year (National Fatherhood Initiative), teen pregnancy costs $9 billion a year (National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy), and sexually transmitted diseases cost $15 billion a year (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Certainly these costs overlap, but the bottom line won't be too far away from the $200 billion bailout of Freddie and Fannie.
