Yes, it is. Families are huge here. Some of the younger generations are getting it, but it is really slow. There is still a lot of really young teens pregnant. Seen them as young as 12 years old.

I see this issue as an extension of the other. I think that it’s complicated by a strong Roman Catholic moral compass which still suffocates logical thinking.
Yikes! 12 is so young...just babes themselves, really.
It is not only the Catholic Church. There are other really influential denominations here that are putting the emphasis on big families...Yes, babies having babies.
That’s interesting. I didn’t know that other denominations were playing a larger role in this also.
I don't know if they do in other places, but here they do. Some really dictate the peoples lives here. What they can eat, wear, women not allowed to have short hair, no makeup, no booze, no drugs of any kind...like they have taken every religions' no-no list and rolled into one all-purpose lifestyle. 😲
