Contraceptive Use Drives Teen Pregnancy Rate to 30-Year Low: Study
The use of and easy access to contraceptives is being seen as the cause of numbers published this week by the Guttmacher Institute, showing that the U.S. teen pregnancy rate has hit a 30-year low.
The study found that in 2008, just 67.8 per every 1,000 women between the ages of 15 and 19 got pregnant. That’s down from 1990′s high point, when 116.9 out of every 1,000 became pregnant.
“Continuing decreases in teen pregnancy more recently may be driven by increased use of the most effective contraceptive methods as well as dual method use,” the Guttmacher Institute explained. “In sum, teens appear to be making the decision to be more effective contraceptive users, and their actions are paying off in lower pregnancy, birth and abortion rates.”
We know, all women should be barefoot and pregnant. This won’t matter to the wingers, they don’t use logic, facts, science and reason as they have a liberal bias.
