Someone needs to sit the anti-abortion, anti-birth control crowd down and explain to them that you can't have one without the other...
NEW YORK (AP) -- Teen births fell again in the United States in 2010 with the highest rate once more in Mississippi, according to a new government report.[..]
The rate for teenage moms reached its lowest point since record-keeping began in 1940. The rate fell 9 percent to about 34 per 1,000 girls ages 15 through 19. The decline was seen among all racial and ethnic groups.
The CDC report released Tuesday focused on state figures. The authors say the teen declines have been attributed to pregnancy prevention efforts. They note that a recent government survey showed more use of contraception by teens.
Ok, one more time for the slower members of our audience: BIRTH CONTROL PREVENTS ABORTION. That's right. If you don't get pregnant then you don't need to abort. It doesn't get any simpler. It's really not a hard fact to grasp.
That's right kiddies, using a condom correctly never means you have to say "oh shit the pregnancy test came out positive..."
