teen pregnancy, marriage

earnric says:

But many of the religious folks would have you believe two guys living together in Iowa is the real threat to marriage ... while somehow a single, teen mother is now the poster child for abstinence education (which obviously didn't work).

Am I missing something here, or is this just really stupid.
