Satan limited the number of characters I can use, but this question is for edulationists.

Excellent point, sister! These unbelieving heathens want to produce as many more unbelievers as possible, hence Fornication 101 in kindergarten!

Wait. ABSENCE?
Really? ABSENCE? As in, no teen pregnancies in 1970?

That squiggle sure represents SOMETHING.
Also, if you haven't noticed, the population in the united states ALSO boomed between 1970 and today, so MAYBE, just MAYBE that has something to do with it as well. Feel free to overlook that though.
Look, kids have sex. It happens. If you teach them how to stay safe while giving some throwbacks to abstinence in the process, it's more win/win than saying "YOU GO TO HELL FUR BEENG PREGGURZ, LOLROFL."

Do you believe that there were no teen pregnancies before 1970? If that is your belief, then sex education is more desperately needed than I ever imagined.
In any case, what's an edulationist? Do you mean ejaculationist? Or educationist? None of the three is a word.

Like someone else said shot-gun marriages. Also teh fam would hide it by sending the girl away until she had the baby so that nobody would know, girls also performed abortions on their own. But wasn't the 60's all about free love. I don't think you have a clue about what you're talking about.

Are you really that stupid? LOTS of girls got pregnant before 1970, they just went "away" for the summer/winter/boarding school and, amazingly coincidentally, Mom/Aunt/Cousin gave birth!
Funny thing is, Desperate Housewives has been running a storyline like this.

Where did you get the idea that teens didn't get pregnant before 1970?
My mom was pregnant with my brother at 17 and that was in 1966.
people just use to ship there kids off to relatives until they had the kid.

Errr...there wasn't an absense of teenage pregnancy before 1970. They were just shuttled off to orphanages/nunneries etc to have their babies and be re-educated from their terrible status as fallen women. Just because it was kept quiet doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Em Adjineri your just jealous because you are to ugly to get laid.
There were far less people and far more illegal dangerous abortions. More pregnancy's were hidden. "She went to live with her grandmother/aunt for a while."
You like all stupid religionist speak and write about things you know nothing about. It's to bad your parents didn't practice abstinence.

"...the _absence_ of teen pregnancy before 1970?"
Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!
And what about all those flower-child hippies from the Sixties who were having teen sex?
Teen pregnancy is by no means a new phenomenon. Go back and reread your history boois.

There was no absence. In fact, teen pregnancy AND abortions are among the lowest in thirty years.

As someone who has done genealogy research I can assure you that they lied like hell about it. It happened a lot but no one talked about it.
America was founded on pre-marital sex. One of the first crimes recorded in the first year of the Pilgrim's colony was a young unmarried christian couple caught having sex and then being publicly tortured and humiliated. I believe their was a case of adultery that first year as well.
