I didn't say they were too stupid to learn from a worksheet, I am saying that free contraception works, period. Every legitimate study on teenaged pregnancy says exactly the same thing - the current statistics which show teenaged pregnancy plummeting in impoverished areas show that the teenaged girls are all doing two things - getting birth control and they have access to medical care.
So, because absentee fathers are a long term problem with no a whole lot of easy solutions, lets get going with the solution that does seem to be working with regards to teenage pregnancy.
And guess what - fewer teenaged moms now means fewer teenaged moms in the future - one of the factors with regards to teenage pregnancy is if the girls mom was a teen when she first got pregnant -in fact, it is as important as fathers who are/aren't present. The leading factor is poverty, followed by those two factors.
