The US has more teenage pregnancies than any other industrialized country--and it's not that US teens are more sexually active. 34% of US women have at least one pregnancy before they turn 20. When Betty Ford had breast cancer, media attention resulted in a nation-wide increase in women learning about breast exams and seeking treatment for lumps. Nothing positive came out of this political-yet-personal crisis, though. Back in the day, Betty Ford cancer articles probably all ended with a health message that reminded women the importance of self-exam. Imagine if every Bristol baby article ended with the importance of condom availability for teenagers. The bigger tragedy here is that a national teachable moment was squandered.

Granted, he didn't need to do Playgirl, and he should have kept his mouth shut, but realistically, he's probably no worse a father than any other guy his age. I think he has every right to be in his child's life. I agree with granolajoe – Levi is clearly an idiot, but he’s also just a young guy who’s been caught up in some serious media circus bullsh*t.

The implication here is that fathers should potentially be excluded from their children's lives, simply because they don't get along with the mother. That's simply ridiculous.
