Huh. Really? The latest teen pregnancy figures are regular tabloid news here, especially if it's 'youngest mother/father on record yet' Teen pregnancy is looked down on (by the tabloids) in much the same way, with harping on about 'drain state/taxes/etc', but it's a regularly discussed subject. Certainly not swept under the rug.
