I feel there is just no reason not to have a baby as a teenager anymore, if the reasons don't come from yourself.

One good reason, is the whole being huge for a few months.
I would hate that personally...
But I can see that if the government just gives you all this
money, then you wouldn't have to work for it, and you
wouldn't be able to see why it would be challenging otherwise.
Now, if pregnancy isn't scary anymore for teenagers,
I would hate to see people stop caring about STDs.
