Young and Irresponsible?
No matter what influences kids to do whatever they do (clearly I have no idea what does), this is good news:

"The teenage pregnancy rate in America, which rose sharply between 1986 and 1991 to huge public alarm, has fallen steadily for a decade with little fanfare, to below any level previously recorded in the United States."

I wonder why we haven't heard more about this? I don't even care if the abstinence forces want to take the credit. But if they do, won't they have to stop claiming today's teenagers (and today's parents) lack virtue and responsibility?
