Teenage Contraception in Colorado

Teen Age Sex with Immigrants!

This morning, on the BBC, the story hit the airways about teen age pregnancy having dropped by 40% in Colorado.
First there was the interview with the woman who oversaw the project: An anonymous private "billionaire" had offered to pay for free contraception for teenage girls in Colorado. Thousands of IUD's were implanted, and free birth control pills were handed out and, Lo, and behold! Pregnancy rates actually dropped!

What a surprise.

Actually, it was something of a surprise. The Colorado state demographers said they have never seen such a dramatic result from any program in any arena. 

Because no government was involved, there could not be the usual roadblocks to the use of IUD's. No government money was involved. And you know about IUD's, the devil's work--"They are really just implanted abortion machines." (They prevent implantation of a fertilized egg in some cases; in others they simply  prevent fertilization.)

The BBC managed to find a person they described as head of some Colorado right to life organization,  who decried this program saying, "When young girls of 13, 14 and 15 are told they are descended from apes and other animals, it's small wonder they start behaving like animals. This is awful. They get depressed. They get STD's. They get HIV. This is an offense against nature."

So, there you have it.  Real Americans speaking on the BBC. 
It took the Brits to show us ourselves.
