Well, that is only if you accept that we should all be paying for the consequences of one person's decisions and actions. I don't, of course. The most obvious way to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies is to withdraw all governmental support from the women and children involved. It is a universal law of economics that when you pay less for something, you will get less of it; when you pay more for a thing, you will get more of it. So if you're genuinely interested in getting teenagers to have less sex or more reliably use means not to get pregnant when they do, you should favor getting rid of all governmental support of the people involved.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
