Which party has best policies for dealing with teenage pregnancies?

Question

There are two aspects

2) Dealing with teenage births - the teen mum and her baby

Answer 1

3) Dealing with teenage pregnancies.

For some people abortion is an option however much a majority of Americans may decry that option.

Answer 2

both parties have the same policies.  they just implement them differently.  And they are both severely flawed

Answer 3

The Democrats.

We are support s*x education, birth control/ contraceptives.  We want teenagers to know about safe s*x, consequences of unprotected s*x, and how to protect themselves.  

Answer 4

The Republicans, they are first of all pro lifers, and secondly if Palins teenage daughter is pregnant, then she will first hand no how to deal with it, or maybe put policies into place.  Personally, maybe had she been more of a "hands on" mom instead of career mom.....this may have been prevented.

Answer 5

Different people in the different parties have different opinions on this, but generally the socially conservative republicans are anti-choice, anti-s*x ed, etc.  Democrats tend to think a bit more progressively and are aware of the fact that teens have s*x.  The way to prevent pregnancy is through education.  If kids know to keep the sperm away from the egg then they won't get pregnant.  And if that happens then they should be on the pill.  If they're not then they should use a condom.  And if you don't want them to have s*x at all show them pictures of genital warts and a video of a woman giving birth and they won't have s*x for a very long time.

Abstinence only education backfires.  If the abstinence only people seriously think they're kids aren't having s*x, they're wrong.  And honestly, the kids that have been educated by their pro-choice parents aren't the ones who end up in the "needing to make a choice" position.  The largest percentage of girls that get abortions come from a "just don't do it" s*x talk from the parents.

Answer 6

None.

It is not bad parenting or bad education on the issue.

When parents and schools have to compete with VH1, MTV, Hollywood, glamor magazines, entertainment magazines and the eternal feminism movement that empowers females with such issues as the right to chose or the sexual freedom ... how do you win this war?

Liberals and civil rights movement have strongly pushed for the freedom to have women and girls in general freed of all "taboos" and old age practices be it religious or morally sane ... yet today they point the finger at Palin? Hypocrites.

Answer 7

The party that ensures good parenting.  Come to think of it, it's hopeless.
