"A newborn baby girl survived an ignoble birth after slipping down the toilet bowl of a moving Indian train onto the tracks when a pregnant woman unexpectedly gave birth while relieving herself on Tuesday.
"My delivery was so sudden," said the Bhuri Kalbi, the mother of the infant, born two months prematurely. "I did not even realize that my child had slipped from the hole in the toilet."
Kalbi, a 33-year-old woman from a village in Rajasthan, fainted on the toilet seat after the birth for a few minutes before waking up and alerting her family.
"They stopped the train and ran on the tracks to find the baby," she said, speaking from her hospital bed in the western city of Ahmedabad.
Railway staff at a nearby station were alerted and soon found the newborn girl lying uninjured on pebbles by the track. She is now in intensive care because of her premature birth, doctors said.
Most toilets on Indian trains are filthy chutes emptying directly onto the tracks."
Clark Country, GA has decided to switch their tactics. Currently, an "abstinence only" curriculum is taught in the high school. The country also has a 4.5% teen pregnancy rate, which is higher than the state average. In order to try to combat these rates, the county has voted to start teaching safe sex in schools, which has proven to be effective in preventing teen pregnancy.
The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the Western world, most likely due to a conflict between an over-sexed media and a moral approach to sex ingrained in the Protestant society. Abstinence only programs only help to support this conflict, telling kids that sex is wrong and then sending them home to their televisions which portray lots of gratifying, unprotected sex -- even on basic cable.
