Since when did teen pregnancy become cool?

Uh, teen pregnancy is a reality but we don’t have to market it as cool. Pregnancy is beautiful when people are prepared to have babies. Or for some people who have been surprised and ended up having a baby because of circumstances, it’s a beautiful thing when they learn from the experience and enjoy the experience.  But it’s not something that you say is cool just because you want to be a popular kid in school.  I think that pregnancy is serious business because unlike toys, babies are real and they have real needs that have to be met.  Even as a fetus, it has needs. Nourishment is one. And of course, the pre-natal check-ups. And acceptance from the parents as well as the people surrounding its parents. 

I don’t know the goal of the toy maker. Maybe they want children to accept teen pregnancy as a fact of life?  But to say it’s so cool — I think they have to review their taglines and stuff.
