The reason its so high in the conservative leaning states is because programs that reveal what abortion really is is relevant there. Hence more of the teenagers are deciding to keep their babies. States that are like New York, very liberal, dont have as many because almost all are aborted... the infanticide continues...for more info go to abort73.com...prepare for the truth

If you look you will see that HS graduation rates are higher in the north than they are in the states with high birth rates. They are also more apt to teach inclusive sex education. The States with less unwanted pregnancies tend to also have more stringent child support laws - basically you play you pay. So there are more factors than the Yankee girls having more abortions than the southern belles.

Only TRUE LOVE, ATTENTION keep them safe, I BELIEVE. Please don't blame others. People worry about steep food costs and obesity, though, they spend less on 'back to school ' , citing recession. People criticize the car manufacturers for their inferior energy efficiency, while the articles over the FUTURE-ORIENTED renewable energy and energy- efficient autos can't be easily found on the the front page. People are concerned about the unhealthy diets, however, they ignore the toxic environments on the internet in the name of freedom. War calls for more substance abuses, internet porns, violences, too much gaming to paralyze the conscience, rationality. Teens, youths are in dire need of their parents' care and love above food, which lead them to use internet for the sound informations, education, just as the new president mentioned. A new study found that 1 in 5 teens have electronically sent, or posted online, nude or semi-nude photos of themselves. In a follow-up study, Moreno emailed the surveyed MySpace users to caution them about their posts on sex and substance abuse. Forty-two percent of them changed their profile within a month. Researchers hope parents take note."As a stranger, we had some impact, but think about the huge impact someone that that teen knows and cares about and looks up to, imagine the impact that could have," Moreno said. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION !

The Underground Guide to Teenage Sexuality These issues continue to impact US society due to politics trumping science, and our culture of selling sex, but avoiding talking about sex. I used a great resouce to overcome some of my own inhibitions about talking and educating my own kids about sex called, The Underground Guide to Teenage Sexuality. I think it's available in Spanish also. But my teens and I now have a very open relationship to talk about these issues, and I sleep much better at night.
