Yes, but that was more the video than the lyrics themselves.

What!? I was ...12 at the time, and wasn't much into media coverage.

That's just crazy. I wouldn't say teenage pregnancy was being exalted in any way, but it was being addressed.

Thanks for sharing that bit of information.

You're welcome.
I agree, but I think that since the accusing part wasn't a national or global health organization like World Health Organization but a politically oriented group I'd say that it was a witch hunt.
