Some articles that further Rhythm's and Simon's points.
1. Our rising infant mortality rates (we're in competition with Chad and Botswana! Whoo! 'Murica!): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/preg...1733a20d56
2. The flip side - huge reductions in teen pregnancy (and abortions, and the health complications which arise from both) when teens have access to free contraceptives: http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2014/10/02/s...ncy-rates/
The bad things PETE sees are a direct result of shaming sex rather than acknowledging that it's part of human health. By limiting access to things like:
Clinics
Abortions
Pre-natal care
Contraceptives
You're only creating a huge financial burden for the country and lowering our health standards across the board. We're falling behind in general because many of the idiots in control are convinced that going back to a puritanical lifestyle is the way to go.
