New law will require marriage as a legal condition of motherhood

[Jessika]

I don't see how it will cut down on teenage pregnancies - the law is to prevent unmarried women from getting pregnant using artificial means - I am sure most teenage pregnancies happen the "old-fashioned" way.

I was talking about how they would need to be required to be married in order to have a child, not about the consequences for other forms of insemination other than sexual intercourse :P

I can certainly not name off one 16 or 17 year old girl who is ready to get married if she gets pregnant because of one of her many careless flings. (don't get me wrong it isn't all the girls' faults, the young teenage boys don't even need to be doing it, either).

EDIT: And don't think I'm saying I'm for this or anything, I'm not at all. I'm just saying on that aspect I can perhaps see both sides.
