A Tucson social service agency has won a federal grant for nearly $2 million over five years to provide medical care, counseling and other support to pregnant and parenting teens.
Our Family will focus its effort on girls 13 to 17 who live in the 85705 Zip Code, which includes the Flowing Wells and Amphitheater school districts. Girls 12 to 18 in those districts gave birth to 226 babies in 2004. That ranks them among the 22 school districts in the state with the highest incidence of teen births, according to the Arizona Coalition on Adolescent Pregnancy and Parenting.
Our Family will enroll at least 80 pregnant girls and their babies — and when possible, their boyfriends and parents — each year over the five years of the project.
A perfunctory demographic search reveals an extrememly high mestizo population in Tucson, AZ. Hence, an extremely high rate of Third World sexual proclivities requiring taxpayer funded solutions.
