>Birthing babies is wonderful no matter the situation.
There is absolutely NOTHING "wonderful" about a 14 year old Black girl "birthing babies", with no education, no job and no life skills. For every baby mama success story, there are probably at least 10 tragedies...not to mention all those caught in the middle just scraping by. Is the emergence of a life into this world SUPPOSED to be wonderful, YES, it is...the REALITY of the matter is all to often it's not.

>As the child of a divorced, single Black mother I disagree.
There is a huge difference between a grown woman becoming a single parent via divorce, and 14 year old having a baby. You are comparing apples to hand grenades.
