Teen-dating Escrow Fund

October 01, 2020, 06:33:49 AM by Kerry

I propose that teens about to date have a part time job so as to begin creating their Dating Escrow Fund.

The Dating Escrow Fund is a special savings account to be used by dating couples in case they accidentally create a pregnancy. The fund will cover the birthing costs.

The fund automatically creates a context of responsibility.
The fund introduces teens to the subject of intention.
The fund eliminates the "I didn't know" and, "It was an accident" excuses.
The fund makes dating teens aware of how much a baby costs.
The fund precludes teens from unconsciously planning to have the community pay for an accidental pregnancy."
The fund supports girls in being able to insist upon Dutch Treat with their dates.
