Sex with kids. "Deeply Catholic country." Is there supposed to be something "strangely enough" there.

Factors contributing to the crisis include lack of access to sexual and reproductive health information and services, social stigma, and cultural factors like discouraging contraception.

The strong influence of the Catholic Church, which discourages premarital sex and contraception, plays a role in the reproductive health landscape. Reports from POPCOM indicate 500 adolescent births daily.

I think so would look into sex trafficking statistics with Philippine girls as well as domestic violence and sexual abuse laws. Philippines is on human rights watch list for child sex trafficking

That’s the USA if we continue on the current road. Girls are not meant to be mothers just because they menstruate, full body, and mental development are also necessary.

Ah, the classic strategy: when your argument has no foundation, just hurl grotesque accusations. You're not edgy; you're just transparent. Projecting your own fixations onto others doesn't make you look clever, it makes you look disturbed.

The evidence points to the root causes being much closer to home: a combination of deep-seated poverty, a lack of access to sexual health resources, and conservative religious norms that hinder effective sex education and contraceptive use. But you're free to blame rich white dudes.

I know, just 20 second into the article is says this "Clara met her boyfriend through friends and became pregnant just six months into the relationship." then it goes on to talk about how "teens younger than 18 need parental consent to access contraceptives, with some exceptions."

In a country with such poverty there’s virtually no way that young women can prevent getting pregnant. Shame on the Philippine government for kowtowing to the Catholic Church ! Those babies are almost guaranteed to live in poverty. Shame on you!
