What a disaster area---

She's wrong about teaching religious theories in public school
biology classes.

She's wrong about teaching only abstinence for contraception in
sex education--- and we can see in her own family how well it works.
And in spite of people dancing around the kids' plight, so long as
Mom is pushing a policy destined to fail, it's fair to note how
it has failed in her own back yard.

And I don't buy that we are infantalizing 17-year-olds who are
dumb enough to decide to marry in this day and age. In decades
gone by, they'd be done with their education and well into half
of their expected life-span. Now, a 17-year-old isn't through
high-school, much less the college education which is the norm
for individuals expecting to make a decent living to raise a
family. In essence, they're setting themselves up for poverty,
or for undue dependence on family, either of which is the kiss of
death for a long-lasting marital union. Yes, some make it. But
most end up like 'Brenda and Eddie.'

Nor do I find anything particularly noble about a 44-year-old
woman with three children already carrying to term a Downs
baby. I'm not going to advocate for any particular alternative,
but I can think of several that would perhaps have been better.
