    Buffalo teen pregnancy prevention funding ending despite high rates

    Buffalo teen pregnancy prevention funding ending despite high rates

    The rate of teen pregnancy in Buffalo is nearly twice as high as the statewide rate.But a $10 million community-based program that's trying to reduce teen pregnancy in some of Buffalo's poorest neighborhoods has been told its funding will be ended early in 2018.
    HOPE Buffalo, a partnership between New York City-based nonprofit Cicatelli Associates Inc. and the Erie County Department of Health, and other urban teen pregnancy programs across the country were notified in July that federal funding for its teen pregnancy program would be eliminated as of June 30, 2018, said Stan Martin, a Cicatelli official who is director of HOPE Buffalo.

    "The rates are at an all-time low. The lowest they've been in years," Martin said. "I fear rates will start going back up (because the funding will end)."

    Here's a thought: how about they just stop f****** like bunnies until they're old enough, responsible enough, and employed enough to start a family.
