the CDC can go bite themselves, honestly. I am all for people being healthy about alcohol consumption. But what’s one big reason WHY an estimated 1/20 babies are born in the U.S. with FAS, and why half of all pregnancies are unplanned when it’s 2016 and there are numerous forms of reliable birth control invented?

WHY are they not releasing warnings that public schools in this country should actually teach pro-active sexual education from an early age?? Only half of states require something. Less than half require it to be medically accurate, if it is taught. When it is taught, it is often inaccurate or focuses on abstinence, which has been suuuper popular with youth throughout history (not. Not popular at all).

The same organization (CDC) is telling us that 47% of high schoolers have already had sex. We have the highest teen birthrate among industrialized countries. But the focus here is looking at the statistics and telling women they could get pregnant at any time, so don’t drink.

BYEE, CDC. These babies aren’t even born yet. They are hypothetical. So yes, issue an alarm. But then.

Take care of the kids that

ALREADY

EXIST
