5. Do they really want shotgun weddings?

Of course, boys will be boys, but "good" girls don't use BC. That makes them sluts or hookers. So what happened in the past? Shotgun weddings among teenagers, or homes for unwed mothers, and orphanages for all these unwanted children. They really want to go back to that? During the Great Depression these unwanted children begged in the streets. I am old enough to have had parents who lived then and told me stories. Oh, wait. They WERE BORN!!!!! How many of them lived to become adults? How many of them turned to a life of crime?
