A new survey conducted by the Girl Scouts finds girls are less likely than boys to recommend abortion to their friends. And, overall, less than 10 percent of young people say they would ever suggest an abortion. A comparison of the two shows a marked shift toward more ethical and responsible beliefs and values and civic involvement among teens and tweens, the organization noted.
The study also finds that one third of teenagers say they intend to wait until they are married to have sex compared to less than a quarter (24 percent) in 1989. Among teenagers, girls are less likely than boys to say they would have sex (18 percent vs. 38 percent). In addition, 71 percent say their religious beliefs are important to them. LifeNews
