Do those pregnancy rates include abortions? That is, is it that the overall pregnancy rate is going up, or the rate of teen abortions is going down?

How about something recent enough to show the impact of JLS pregnancy?

Not a direct correlation, but the numbers are up. A more current article, but same report. http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/07/10...ncy/index.html Last edited by Pico and ME; 09-04-2008 at 08:30 PM. |

Thanks!
I'm trying to find the actual data on the cdc site, but can't seem to find anything post 2005 (although the article you linked has cdc data from 2006). Am I just blind? http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/teenbrth.htm

There is no evidence to support that statement.

Its pretty hard to find evidence for something that hasnt happened yet.
But since teen pregnancies have been on the rise for the last couple of years, a high profile pregnancy like this might only help to increase its acceptability. I do hope, though, that it will bring to the forefront that giving teens good information about sex and contraceptives is better than telling them to just dont do it. |

I still don't buy it. That is like saying there was a spike in drunk driving when Princess Di died. Just because the daughter of a high profile person has a teen pregnancy there would be no way to prove, much less measure any direct correlation with teen preg rates.

Some woman on the news has a kid that got knocked up. That won't change the decisions of the teens in the back row seat of the van. Not at all.
