As usual, in my point of view, any discussion that begins by recognizing the rights of the unborn child IS cultured and intellectual discussion!

Well dear Cotten Candy,
then probably you can write to Guttmacher institute or US CDC to ask them to release the data so that I can step up to your game!

[…] Is the stigma of teen pregnancy fading? Look at Jaime Lynn Spears and Sara Palin’s daughter. But, in all honesty, teen pregnancy rates have been fairly consistent over the last 35 years. […]

Panx,
pregnancy rate is based on how many pregnancy per 1000 women in the specific age group, e.g. 15-19 is teenage. E.g. if the number is 75.1, means that there is 75.1 pregnancy per 1000 girl aged 15-19.

I’m now 19 and experiencing being a dad. I must say although it feels good it’s still hard. I knew it wouldn’t be easy but to be honest, the hard part is having to balance time. My daughter is great and makes managing her never dreadful. -Teen dad

Hmmm I wonder why the biggest decline in the abortion rate was in the Clinton years????? Oh yeah cause liberals provide more social services to single-mothers and parentless children as well as advocate safer-sex.

I am a teen mom at the age of 18 and my husband is 23. We love eachother very very much and we wanted to have children. We both have jobs and have been saving a great amount of money along with things for this new individual that i am bring to the world. I believe that if you are responsible enough and have the money for it along with have a supportive other why does age make a diffrence!!!—Teen Mom

age matter because readiness and maturity often accompany experience. Children do not need children parents, they need parents who are emotionally mature and ready to give up their time, etc to raise a child. and children do not just need money and things, they need quality time from their parents where they can be taught obedience, self-esteem, responsibility, kindness, service, communication. It’s not just about feeding a child and providing for physical needs, but also emotional, mental, and spiritual development. If children grow up with deficits in the other 3 areas, we have problems that we face now in our society.

Hi Folks: Many questions in our mind with teen age pregnancy, birth rate, or abortion. We should think first, WHY is that ? Instead of FINDING the reason, Departments, individuals are chasing the rate, (talking about to reduce or worry about increase of the rates). Its all about the MISTAKES, which we all adult have done in the past and still doing, we have lost our values, the culture, and LACK OF RELIGION and to FOLLOW the religion.
We are just putting blame on our kids. If we go and look what we do in our daily life, like, Always talk about love, boy and girl friend relationship, sex in office, in the car, parks, shopping mall, must say everywhere. (While this innocent mind of a kid watching us, though he/she quite not asking but observing. When kid ask MAM, Who was this GUY ? Answer she give her, NOT YOUR BUSINESS, GO AND PLAY, OR WE LOVE EACH OTHER. ETC. …when kid watch, switching girl friend or boy friend, every 3 months, What we are transferring to their mind. Then now we are trying to teach SEX IN 5th Grade. (the worst thing educational institutes are doing). When at this age you are telling them about SEX. Its not a knowledge you are giving them. You are Switching their mind from study to sex study. When you will tell a kid about sex. how and when and protect at this stage. They will listen at school. And for sure, after that they will look FREE TIME, FREE SPACE AND FIND MATE TO DO PRACTICLE IN THE ABSENSE OF ADULT. because Institute is teaching them to how to protect, But its child behaviour to Get into practical. Its worst then that, because then child will start exploring, will go to net, find the sex magazine, search the cupboard to find the condom etc. And then we blame that the RATE IS INCREASING.
ANYWAY its a long topic. We are just trying to pass our liabilities to our kids. Because we (ADULT) can not avoid sex in office, can not stop looking DATES, Can not stop watching sex movies, Can not stop ADULTRY and more…IF WE CAN CHANGE OURSELVES THEN WE WILL NOT TALK ABOUT ALL THESE RISING RATES…

I wonder if the abortion and pregnancy rates include chemical abortions caused by the birth-control pills that prevent the implantation of the zygote to the uterine wall? Maybe that’s the reason for the drop in reported pregnancy and abortion rates from 1990 forward….
