I took this article from a pro choice site./ If it were not so sad it may be funny. The blame abstinence for the rise in pregnancy rates…not TV which urges sexual activity at a young age, or sex education that teaches kids from elementary school when they should be playing with dolls, or Planned Parenthood who tell them anything goes..no, it has to be abstinence…
It breaks my heart knowing many of these pregnancy will end in abortion. I have seen so many young teens who aborted without their parents knowing, and some who are forced to abort whose moms are post abortive themselves. IT is awful and unfortunately many of them suffer for years.
when are people going to wake up and see how destructive these groups are to our kids who deserve to be able to be kids….
CDC Report Indicates Teen Pregnancy Rates Rising
1/26/2009
– A new report published this month by the Center for Disease Control
(CDC) indicates that teen pregnancy rates are rising. The CDC,
reported significant increases in the teen pregnancy rate in 26 states
in 2006, ending a 15 year decline in teen pregnancy statistics.
Regionally, the northeast has the lowest and the south and southwest
have the highest teen pregnancy rates. The new data shows the greatest
increases in teen pregnancy rates in Alaska, Mississippi, Montana,
Hawaii, and Nevada.
A number of factors including a rise in highly publicized teen
pregnancies, abstinence-only programs, and a disproportionate number of
pregnancies among minority teenagers are theorized to be influencing
the rise in teenage pregnancy.
Paul Sutton of the National Center for Health Statistics told USA Today
that "to see 26 states with statistically significant increases is
fairly remarkable….we're seeing increases in both the number of teens
having births and also the rate at which they are having births. Both
of them are going up."
