Things you never stopped to think about

Ampersand has something very interesting to say about teen pregnancy:
There’s an argument that, for many poor teens, unwed teen pregnancy is a rational choice given their circumstances. If we want to change the choices they make, we have to change their circumstances until it is no longer a rational choice for them to get pregnant as a teenager.

Follow the link to read the entire actual argument, because it's fairly convincing and is discussing something that you've probably never considered. I had certainly not thought twice about it. Hoorah for questioning our assumptions!
