New CDC Report Shows Teen Pregnancy Rates have Dropped: While a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report provides more evidence that abstinence messages decrease teen sexual activity and pregnancy, Planned Parenthood has put its own spin on the numbers to promote its childhood sex education programs.
The recently released CDC report entitled 'State Disparities in Teenage Birth Rates in the United States' acknowledges that teenage birth rates have continued to decline since their peak in 1991. It then examines the ethnicity of teen mothers in 2007, and finds they are predominantly Hispanic and black in almost every state.
