Close minded mothers, kids, sex and no video-tape (mini-text)

Ok, I understand it must be painful to think, but let’s analyze your thought process:

You disapprove of your daughter having sex before marriage for whatever reasons, usually religious

You disapprove of abortions

You are not educated or smart, but unless you are cognitively impaired, you know she will have sex very soon because she is a reproductive-age mammal

Even knowing it is inevitable, you choose not to educate her on pregnancy and STDs prevention with a cheap and simple device called condom

When she gets pregnant at 15, you and the rest of your trashy family will humiliate her, perhaps get her to marry a “very mature” 17 year old who impregnated her and kick them out of the house

Congratulations: you just created a new trailer-trash nuclear family, with two teenagers with their professional futures almost completely destroyed

They will obtain benefits from the government, the same one you don’t want to pay taxes to.

Yet, you refuse to do your part, which is to ensure your children become productive members of the market economy

Your daughter could become a doctor, a welder, a firefighter, a plumber or an agricultural engineer. Yet, you basically sentenced her to reproduce your ignorance, your prejudice, your bigoted view of reality and more kids

By 21, she will have three kids, from different fathers. The probability of some of them being abused is high. The chances of any of them being cognitively stimulated to become more than her and you are minimal.

YOU are the problem.
