Memphis And Pregnant: One School, 90 Girls Expecting

“As Memphis City Schools leaders discuss the best way to deal with the crisis at Frayser High School, one young student is dealing with parenthood. The Action News 5 Investigators recently discovered 90 girls who attend Frayser High School are now pregnant or have already had a baby this school year.
“Frayser is in Memphis City School Board member Stephanie Gatewood’s district. She said a former principal of the school first sounded the alarm about the issue about a year ago. “Noting that our young ladies absolutely did not get pregnant in the hallways of our schools,” said Gatewood. “So while everything that happens in our communities, it just spills over into our schools. Now we as a community have to deal with them.”
“Roughly 20 percent of the female student population at Frayser High is already experiencing the trials of parenthood.”

Crazy.

Is there like a Bat Signal you can shine up in the sky that will summon Bristol Palin to "talk some sense" into these people?

I suppose the state will have to take care of these kids having kids or is that the main reason they are having these babies so they can qualify for state assistance?

Maybe the local catholic church (who opposes condoms in schools) can hook some sisters up.

Maybe they were listening to her already, hence why they are pregnant.

What's the point in condoms if they don't use them. That works just as good as abstinence.

Teenagers have always had a sex drive. It is not the least bit unusual that they get pregnant. But for this to happen in the heart of the bible belt is outrageous.

It speaks to the complete failure of "abstinence only" education and people in the bible belt not being able to face reality that teens are going to have sex. No matter how much you tell them they should not, biology is too strong. Them not being aware of all the facts about having sex and all the birth control methods leads to this.

But the power of God is great, it can change homosexual sinners into abstinent homosexuals. It can surely change the minds and purposes of mere teenagers. The kids need to learn to pray for the ability to resist the urge to engage in sex. God will not let a kid down who prays to control his sex urge.
