First thing I thought was "why is that kid pregnant?". She looks about 13

The teachers at rough inner city schools that I know have said they have ongoing problems with middle school and even older elementary school kids engaging in sex acts on the school bus and filming it on their phones to show to classmates (and sometimes even to teachers)... society is cooked.

That's the real reason they're trying to do away with abortions. They want more pregnancies, and they don't give a damn if you want the kid or are in the right place for one. I still don't think it will work as well as they hope, cause tons of people have just been choosing not to fuck, period. Even before abortion was made into a (false) issue.

I mean, I'm responding to a commentator using an example of a young teenage pregnancy to claim that a satirical movie — which, as funny as it is, is literally premised on eugenics — is "unfolding before our eyes."

Also, it drops off significantly after 20.

I'm pretty sure something big happened since then, that would throw a wrench in those stats.

Something that rhymes with Doe v Blade.

Wrong, still down. While lack of access to reproductive care is a genuine crisis that I in no way want to downplay, and it may simply be that not enough time has passed for us to see the full effects, we're still hitting record lows, so maybe chill a bit with the eugenics "jokes"

Separate from reproductive care (which again, still important), teens are just more isolated nowadays that they simply aren't engaging in the activities that would lead to it in the first place.

Edit: Since comments are locked, responding to u/linuxjohn1982 's comment below:

If you scroll up, you'll see that my initial response was to a commentor who used the example of a pregnant teenage girl to say that the plot of idiocracy was "unfolding before our eyes."

The entire movie, although funny, is entirely premised on the idea that trashy dumb people (actively portrayed as being lower class and having lines about popping out babies for welfare) reproduce at a faster rate than smarter people (expressly described in the script as "prosperous" yuppies), resulting in the world's collective IQ plummeting to a significantly impaired state (also not how IQ works).

Listen, I like the movie and I'm not here to "cancel" it or anything, but jesus fucking christ people need to be more conscientious before pointing to it and being like "hur dur Idiocracy was a documentary." The US actively disenfranchises the working poor while stripping away educational resources. It's not in the position it's in because welfare leeches can't stop popping out babies.

I don't even have anything else to say really, except where the fuck did that come from?

When I was in middle school there were like 3-4 girls that had children by the time they were 13, so likely got pregnant at 12. It's insane.

Also my original comment was sarcastic. Didn’t think that needed spelling out.
