The Denver teen pregnancy issue is especially interesting and it was shocking to read some of the reader comments in the Denver papers. Several people seemed to think that a leave of absence from high school for new moms would become an incentive to teen pregnancy, which I think is ridiculous. I hope that the women are granted the leave of absence they're seeking and not made to feel punished by or ostracized from the school system. Thanks for all the great headlines!

I am glad to see Iowa taken a proactive response to educating women about birth control. I had many adult women come through the doors of Planned Parenthood, who were clueless about birth control (ie: "if you did it standing up, you could not get pregnant.") That is just one example of the eye-popping quotes I heard. I wonder about is the age of women receiving these C-sections. As more and more older women are conceiving, I wonder if there is any correlation? great headlines. I am glad to see Iowa taken a proactive response to educating women about birth control.
