re: #627 suchislife

Do you mean the idea that giving pregnant teenagers welfare will increase teen pregnancy? Do you have any data on this? Just a short google turned up this: [Link: www.urban.org…]
Do you find that credible?

I have no data to link. I have seen articles and TV shows on this. Many teens have children in order to get welfare and other social assistance so they can live on their own. It is also often reported in connection with the “cycle of poverty” phenomenon.
Much politics involved concerning societal responsibility but apparently a true phenomenon.
