I have watched as many of my friends' teenagers have become pregnant unexpectedly, and unmarried. This creates a great financial hardship and makes it difficult to establish oneself in a career. To challenge the liberals, I'd suggest greater education on financial planning and the financial benefits of marriage. To challenge the conservatives, I'd suggest that abstinence education is not working. We need family planning so parents are more mature and can foster their children's education.
