Is Mitt Romney getting nervous?

... Get this country back to the good old days when sex meant babies. We'll get that teenage pregnancy rate back up to where it ought to be.

In a lot of ways I think it's healthier for older teenagers to give birth than it is for older women of lower fertility with a higher risk of complications. But, that means the young woman's ability to get an education or good job are restricted. In families with good social support, I've seen teen moms do terrific.

It is hilarious to watch Romney twist in the wind in Michigan, where he said "sod off" to the automobile industry.

Mitt thinks corporations are people. And sometimes you have to murder them.

Serious question; Did it EVER exist?

Under such blatant socialists as Eisenhower? Of course not!

Let me tell you a story;

I went to Catholic School for most of my upbringing. There was a girl who was in my class for a few months in the 5th grade and then not when classes resumed the next year, and I thought no more of it.

One day, when I was in high school, I was filling coolers in our tavern, and she comes in with the grandparents she lived with, and I started to talk to her and we wandered outside to talk not around parents. And she told me that she was pregnant and was being sent away to have the baby. This shocked me, and I asked my mother about that and she said that it was, or used to be, very common to send unwed pregnant teenage girls to relatives in the country or to homes for such girls to avoid the embarrassment to the family.

I wonder to this day what happened to her, but yes, it used to be hushed up big time.

Also the good old shotgun wedding. But married teen pregnancy doesn't count for some reason.
