- basye, on 10/30/2008, -55/+1792Because their parents live in a constant state of denial, that's why.
- awesometastic1, on 10/30/2008, -17/+696Human nature. The more something is forbidden the more you want to do it.
- Gabberwok, on 10/31/2008, -11/+508I don't know the explanation for Evangelicals, but for Catholics - let's face it, those skirts are hot.
- Shiloah, on 10/30/2008, -19/+500This sentence pretty much says it all (FTA): "Religious belief apparently does make a potent difference in behavior for one group of evangelical teen-agers: those who score highest on measures of religiosity—such as how often they go to church, or how often they pray at home. But many Americans who identify themselves as evangelicals, and who hold socially conservative beliefs, aren’t deeply observant."
An "unobservant" evangelical is just an old-fashioned hypocrite. It is as true today as it was when Jesus said it: "good trees bear good fruit", and "you can't harvest figs from thistle plants." - Haoie, on 10/31/2008, -25/+382Because of ignorance, and lack of sexual education.
One only needs to think about the oftened held belief that the pill prevents STDs for an example of that. - Mockylock, on 10/31/2008, -11/+322I dated a preachers daughter.
BAD GIRL. She was a freak.
Must be some defiance thing. - BlaqReaper, on 10/31/2008, -9/+287I may be wrong on this one, but I think Evangelical teens are getting pregnant because they are having sex.
- oxdeltaxo, on 10/31/2008, -2/+265Likely also because they don't use birth control while being sexually active.
- Brad324, on 10/31/2008, -51/+290 ∩＿＿＿∩ they can't resist it

＼＿) - emailowndme, on 10/31/2008, -20/+230It's funny, the 2 girls I know who have had abortions...both were home schooled and devout born again's...
- jemka, on 10/31/2008, -9/+201Furthermore, who are these retarded boys that don't understand the consequences of a crazy bitch having your baby. Now that's the best sex talk anyone could receive.
- djurbino, on 10/31/2008, -23/+213The operative word here is "teen"
Any adjectives before that are moot. Teens have sex. Teens get pregnant.
It's not rocket science. - Torx, on 10/31/2008, -11/+163Watch "Jesus Camp", you'll understand why.
- inactive, on 10/31/2008, -26/+160Evangelical teens aren't the ones getting pregnant, regular teens with evangelical parents are.
- masamunecyrus, on 10/31/2008, -0/+131"Preacher's daughter syndrome." It is not a lie, I've seen it happen personally in many cases. In Saudi Arabia, 70% of files exchanged on cell phones by teenagers are pornographic in nature. Being sexually repressed makes you sexually crazy. Being any kind of repressed makes you any kind of crazy, actually. So, as preachers' children are extremely repressed, they tend to turn out extremely crazy.
- tao52nyc, on 10/31/2008, -3/+127I MARRIED a preacher's daughter. Bad mistake. Talk about a conflicted nutjob. Never again.
- chanop, on 10/31/2008, -0/+112Are there any Amish on digg that can explaint his further?.....oh wait...
- WraTH017, on 10/31/2008, -1/+105^ a sailboat, genius.
- algaeturd, on 10/31/2008, -17/+117Because if they are evangelical teens, they undoubtedly have fundamentalist parents. And fundamentalists say stupid things like, 'it's God's will for you to remain a virgin,' and leave it at that. Plus, if you had fundamentalist parents breathing down your neck every day, you'd be out ***** all the time too. Either to piss them off or just get away from them for a while. Stupidity breeds stupidity. Simple as that.
- RealmDown, on 10/31/2008, -14/+113"Born again" means, "I'm sorry; I won't do it again. Please don't hit me."
- Oztog, on 10/31/2008, -12/+107Said the priest to the alter boy.
- ICSU, on 10/31/2008, -0/+92That's a consequence of the denial.
- BeShirtHappy, on 10/30/2008, -0/+90I agree. Many teens rebel against what is preached at them.
- evildeadguy, on 10/31/2008, -3/+91Been there.
The filthiest girl I ever met.
God I miss her. - ncc74656m, on 10/31/2008, -3/+91Uhh, look at Palin's daughter. If kids aren't taught anything about sex, they honestly sometimes DON'T KNOW that they can get pregnant through sex, or, at least "the first time" or "if you pull out."
- uncajoe, on 10/31/2008, -4/+86Could it be education? Nah, who needs sex education.
It's obvious they're learning how to do it on their own! - awewriter, on 10/31/2008, -4/+85The Amish have something, I forget the name...where their teenagers are able to experiment with things during this period of their life before submitting to church laws. You've probably seen the show I'm talking about. As a way to weed-out the good and the bad from a community, the Amish know how to maintain standards of appropriate behavior in their group.
The effects of teen ambition to be accepted can be magnified by the restriction a particular lifestyle imposes upon them from where their angst lies. Revolt is a form of individualism, while pregnancy among these segments show a lack of life-skills to properly manage the beahvior. - RealmDown, on 10/31/2008, -4/+82Actually, I think denile is in Egypt.
- troye, on 10/31/2008, -3/+81That's the first pedobear I've seen that has a nutsack.
- XtheXlanternX, on 10/31/2008, -4/+82My room mate in college dated this really really conservative girl. According to her, as long as they didn't use a condom, it wasn't really having sex.
- Royish, on 10/31/2008, -1/+79Lack of sex education. Being raised to be against condoms.
Two horny kids are going to bang. Either there is some rubber or other form of birth control to prevent pregnancy, or there isn't. - copaceticZ, on 10/31/2008, -93/+167It is simple actually. They are dumber.
- inactive, on 10/31/2008, -2/+71Living in the information era is not substitute for parenting.
- mrspennyapple, on 05/25/2009, -7/+75It's slightly outside of the scope of the article, but I think it's worth pointing out that had it been the Obama's 17-year-old daughter who ended up pregnant out of marriage, the news probably would have been received a little differently.
- Andrwmorph, on 10/31/2008, -1/+67Wow...
Now thats some amazing ASCII art. - masamunecyrus, on 10/31/2008, -2/+65Indeed, we are a nation of Pharisees. If I'm not mistaken, Jesus made an effort several times to condemn the Pharisees and tell them how awful of people they were and how despite being deeply "religious", they would be the least people to enter heaven.
- Jeebugorn, on 10/31/2008, -0/+61wait, what??
if you are having sex, but not using a condom, its not sex?? - Lewiji, on 10/31/2008, -3/+61No, they should be taught about protection, and leave any glamorisation out of it - positive or negative
- buughost, on 10/31/2008, -6/+63Maybe someday the right will realize that abstinence only education isn't working and they should at least tell kids "well if you're going to ignore us... wrap it up!"
oh wait, that'll never happen - sodade, on 10/31/2008, -8/+65Breeding is social warfare.
Make no mistake - they will breed their way into a political majority so they can get the theocracy they want. - lolwaffle, on 11/03/2008, -4/+58You win teh internets today.
- RealmDown, on 10/31/2008, -12/+66I wouldn't say it does nothing. It makes you feel guilty afterwards.
- pintomp3, on 10/31/2008, -0/+53i don't know if evangelicals teens are more likely to have sex, just more likely to have unprotected sex. regardless of taboo, i think they would want to. but not being taught about contraceptives makes them more likely to end up pregnant.
- drlha, on 10/31/2008, -4/+57Or on the flip side, that Condoms aren't an effective form of contraception, which is often taught as an abstinence ploy, but more likely means when these kids have sex, why should they bother using something that doesn't work?
- inactive, on 10/31/2008, -0/+53What are you using goats for... Wait.. Don't answer that.
- Rudegar, on 10/31/2008, -2/+55Rumspringa
- sodade, on 10/31/2008, -2/+54Same experience here. Last I heard, she was doing lap dances in LA.
- xsecretfiles, on 10/31/2008, -12/+63Miracle Pregnancies?
- drjones78, on 10/31/2008, -21/+72Perhaps this is true... but what it does show, is that the presence of religion or evangelical religion does nothing to actually make one any more likely to be a well behaved human being.
- dafragsta, on 10/31/2008, -3/+54Misguided and repressed sexual energy? Naah.
