Teen Pregnancy in Texas


Texas child protective authorities are delighted to have found 20 girls under 18 who have given birth at the Yearning For Zion Ranch. But if you ask me they're wasting their time in rural Texas. If they really want to find pregnant teenage girls they should move their operation to Los Angeles. There's not a high school in the inner city that doesn't have 20 pregnant teenage girls (and in some cases a lot more). Some schools even have special classrooms where the girls can bring their kids to school. A strange thing though. No child protective authorities are hauling anyone to court here. Why is it a matter for the courts if you’re a pregnant teen in Texas but here in Los Angeles they do everything but give you a cookie?
