31 of 53 teen girls at FLDS ranch are pregnant or had baby...Plus Video

SAN ANTONIO (Associated Press) -- More than half the teen girls taken from a polygamist compound in west Texas have children or are pregnant, state officials said Monday.

A total of 53 girls between the ages of 14 and 17 are in state custody after a raid 3 1/2 weeks ago at the Yearning For Zion Ranch in Eldorado. Of those girls, 31 either have children or are pregnant, said Child Protective Services spokesman Darrell Azar. Two of those are pregnant now, he said; it was unclear whether either of those two already have children.

"It shows you a pretty distinct pattern, that it was pretty pervasive," he said.

Dammit, this thread was fun to read until the last 15-20 posts or so. Decent debating overall, addressing of issues instead of the posters, etc. Now, a bunch of you need your hand slapped.

Can we get back to the original subject, or shall the hand-waving between "Eurotrash" vs "Redneck" concepts, which basically amounts to name-calling of stereotypes, keep going until I close the thread? Don't make me go all Rodney King on your butts. I don't expect everyone to get along with the vastly different world views that exist around here, but this is getting petty.

Back to the topic, please.
