Unintended Pregnancies Teenage Mothers
1,086 words
Teenage pregnancy and out-of-wedlock childbearing
were central issues in the debate over welfare
reform. They are frequently seen as both the cause
of increased welfare costs and caseloads over the
last 25 years, and the result of the welfare

As I sat down one night to watch television, I
continuously came across shows that had more
sexual content in them then I wished to view.
Female characters were having sex with several
male partners, yet suffering no apparent
consequences. In some instances joking and
bragging about who they slept with the night
before with their colleagues and friends. Not only
was this promiscuous sex disturbing, but also the
clothing these women wore revealed more skin than
an adult magazine. It is appalling ...
