maternity clothes for teens?


So Forever 21 has launched a new line. A maternity line. Big controversy ensues.

Fueling the controversy? Of the 5 (California, Alaska, Utah, Texas and Arizona) states chosen to open the launch, 3 (California, Arizona and Texas) have some of the highest rates of teen pregnancy in the U.S.

The company claims the they are not specifically targeting teens. They do after all carry women's, men's, teens and tweens clothing and shoes.

So what do yout think? Is it irresponsible to design a maternity line when your company apeals to the young? I read several posts on the subject and I think I like this one from Jaime the best.
