4parents.gov sucks
Yesterday, Jessica at Feministing pointed out this anti-choice horse shit on the government’s “4parents” site, which exists to help parents (like me?) help their kids make “healthy choices.” This is what it says about teen pregnancy: If a teen girl finds out she is pregnant, she and her parents, and the father of the baby [...]
