If you read the article, I think the point was it's not a hot social topic. Religious leaders aren't speaking out and organizing on the topic of illegitimacy in the way they are against other topics like gay marriage or polygamy.

To some extent, I guess I am a product of my social times because illegitimacy doesn't strike me as a scourge either, so I'm not sure I believe there should be such public statements.

It is a bit jarring to see Bristol Palin out there advocating for teen abstinence. Do you think she will come up in YW lessons this week, and is that how you would teach the topic?
