Karen,

I thought that teenage pregnancy rates had been reported as dropping over the last few years...

They have, but that doesn't mean there isn't going to be a local problem somewhere...

Yes, it has. But this school is an outrageous example of the fact that it is still going on. A single teenage female pushing a carriage is on the poverty track. There were excellent reasons for the old fashion approach of trying to keep the girl's legs together by making it shameful to have a bastard.
