Sure it does. The above response to which you quoted proves it. Also, this isn't some college class experiment for a psyc class or something, this was a High School Senior.
Inappropiate at best IMHO.

Why is it less appropriate than a college class? Hispanic girls and black girls are the most likely to become pregnant before the turn 18. They are also the two groups to be most negatively affected by pregnancy, less likely to finish high school, more likely to live in poverty, more likely to see their children repeat the same patterns.
This girl went into the thick of things in a very responsible way, when you consider the alternative. She's working with abstinence and sex education programs to try and find solutions to a growing problem, according to one article I read. I don't see many teenagers in her generation with the drive, creativity, or ambition to create and implement a plan so grand and detailed as this. Is it controversial? Absolutely. Is it going to bring about the downfall of society? It may actually slow it, in the long run.
