New Data: Teen Pregnancy on the Rise, Abortions Too

By Belinda Luscombe Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2010Bw
This article was about teen pregnancy rates rising, also in abortions, since 1990, and the average is 71.5 pregnancies for every 1,000 teens under twenty.
This will not be overlooked by churches, schools or government, since the rise of the 70s and 80s, and then dropped in the 90s, then back up again.
But it’s mostly white teens, and not that much in black teens, since most white teens kept their pregnancies instead of abortions, which is better.
The reduction of pregnancy rates will be hard, because of the until-marriage-education.
"A strong body of research shows that these programs do not work," says Heather Boonstra, a senior public policy associate at the New York City–based organization. "Fortunately, the heyday of this failed experiment has come to an end with the enactment of a new teen pregnancy prevention initiative that ensures that programs will be age-appropriate, medically accurate and, most importantly, based on research demonstrating their effectiveness."

  1. We think this is important because if women were educated the right way and had opportunities to choose whether or not to have abortions, there wouldn't be so much orphans in this world, and women wouldn't have family problems.
