"That's why I would like to bring stigma and shame back into the culture."

Like most conservatives, you want to stop the future and return to the past. It'll never happen, and any attempt to do so will just frustrate you and your fellow past-graspers.

Rather than stigma and shame, I'd rather provide free, no questions asked birth control to any teen that asked, no parent need be involved. That might be partially effective, and reduce out of wedlock births. But, for "values based" conservatives, they just have visions of young people having pregnancy risk-free sex - the SHAME!

This is a value judgment over which reasonable minds can differ.

Actually it's totally unreasonable to argue for government to abandon all who need financial support to survive

..but it is certainly an effective red herring that should tie this board up for a couple of days..

Well played again, sir
