Having a Life Before Creating One Dec 17th 2012, 11:50 Among the codas we might be most grateful for this year is the release of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2" last month, which brought us to the welcome end of a cultural franchise that managed the feat of romanticizing abstinence as it coddled fantasies of teenage parenthood. By the end of Stephenie Meyer's fourth and final book in the "Twilight" series, we have a heroine who has lost her virginity in a rapturously violent act of marital congress, given up her ideas about Dartmouth and endured a pregnancy so debilitating it nearly kills her. For her sacrifices — for enduring what in any other context would be tagged as domestic abuse, and for avoiding abortion — she is rewarded with a prodigy baby who is absorbing Tennyson at an age at which most children are not yet ready for "Goodnight Moon."
