Teenage birth drops to lowests level on record (abortions, economy, education)

[90sman]

The teenage birth rate finally falls to the lowest on record. Can we now stop with the mass panic over it? Are people still going to be saying that the abstinence only education is leading to an increase?

Don't you have to drink more in cold weather to stay warm?

Sorry, but I had to delete the post as the link expired. Don't know how that happened. Sorry. It's a little awkward that happened.

So, guys, forget the original post.

I got "page not found" when I clicked on link.
Are abortions and contraceptive use UP ?

Did the article say why the number fell ?

I found this:

Teen Pregnancy Drops: CDC Study: Teen birth rate lowest in 70 years - fox59.com


FWIW the CDC blamed it on the recession.
I'm scratching my head over this one.

Because of the recession?

Since when did the inability to sufficiently raise a child stop anyone in this country from getting pregnant?

I'd sooner blame MTV than the economy. Ridiculous.

I wonder if the abortion numbers went up ?
Just came to light that the CDC is going to deep six the abortion report.

Maybe teenagers finally figured out how to use condoms?
