7. That's an interesting report. My first Gynecologist was a fellow of Guttmacher Institute...

She was a Catholic and totally opposed to Abortion and a wonderful woman...except where I differed with her about that issue.

I would like to feel their stats are what the truth is. But, not sure if there isn't something coming up that we don't see. Their stats from Guttmacher only go to 2010. I wonder if "Sexualiztion of Young Girls" isn't increasing with the media emphasis on enticing younger and younger experimentation with sex with the provocation of Media and Mylie's Antics. Now....I realize that "Madonna was a bit OTT" for an earlier generation. But Mylie was an idol for much younger group than Madonna was NOT so much a part of when she burst on the scene...as I recall it, anyway. A friend of mine's daughter was dying to get tickets to a Mylie Cyrus appearance years ago...when she was a young girls idol and did sort of "innocent songs., appearances."

My daughter was a huge fan of "Free to Be You and Me" Marlo Thomas Era. I wouldn't have let her out of the house wearing what I saw that young girl wearing in Whole Foods. Why? I knew it would invite "undue attention." (But, that was then...and this is Now) That's why I asked...if I was overly concerned.
