Desperate, scared people in desperate, scary situations do desperate, scary things.
A climate of acceptance within society is the best antidote to stupid things like this.
Why should a 20 year old be so terrified of telling her parents she got pregnant that she's willing to drink herself into a medical situation to try and 'deal'?
Those people here who condemn, in my view, are the real problem.
Acceptance breeds responsibility. Persecution does just the opposite.

I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place." - Winston Churchill, 1937 --{ORLY?}--
