Conundrum - News (okay, Paul Harvey) was touting this:
Pointing out that the teenage birth rate had dropped in the past few years. Note: BIRTH RATE. (This is not counting the Superbowl teenage pregger kid who got pregnant by smoking marijuana). Paul Harvey attributed much of the "decline" to "abstinance".

Not long ago, there was a report that the number of abortions performed was increasing under W over the past few years.

Hmmm. Does this connection escape more than a freepin' moran's logic?

Also, I saw something (can't remember where) saying that the birth rate for mothers between the ages of 10 and 14 were down. 10 years old? I'd be testing the paternity to see if the "grandfather" is really the "father" of the baby.

1. Harvey is a dupe and a fool
Everything is just rosy and perfect in America, just listen to Paul. He won't report that the divorce rate, teen pregnancy rate, incest rate and spousal abuse rate is much higher in red (slave) states then in blue states. In other words, bush's ignorant poor white trash base is letting their morality show; but you'd never know it listening to ole Paul.

3. My point is "crowing about the low birth rate"
but forgetting to report the higher abortion rate.

I KNOW PH IS A RW SHILL.

5. Gee, couldn't more use of contraception lead to this also?
