National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy Teenage pregnancy is a complicated topic. Obviously, 13 year olds aren’t phyiscally ready for a baby, but there is no medical reason that 18 and 19 year olds shouldn’t get pregnant – the primary negative effects are sociological, and you could make the argument that we should be supporting teen mothers, not demonizing them. At the same time, encouraging teenagers to use contraception if they are having sex is very, very important.

All in all, I find this organization rather creepy, and their ads unpleasant. Their exclusive focue on preventing pregnancy does not necessarily encourage safer sex or HIV/AIDS prevention. Also, where do they get their funding?
