A new study published by the CDC show that teen pregnancy levels have dropped to the lowest level since they began recording data back in the 1940s. But, that is a general statistic, an average of all the states.
States that push abstinence only education, fight against contraception, and in general, try to roll back the clock to circa 1850, have a 50-60% higher teen pregnancy rate than the rest of the country. Shocker.
Mississippi has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the country, and double shocker, they require kids to be taught abstinence-only education.
New Hampshire has the lowest rate, and triple shocker, they require kids to be taught about contraceptive and how to use it effectively.
Mississippi's teen pregnancy rate is almost 4 times higher than New Hampshires. That speaks for itself.
