[Insert "Papa Don't Preach" Reference Here]

Teenage birthrates are on the rise for the first time in sixteen years. Not since the last Bush presidency have teen birthrates increased. Does this mean that abstinence-only education isn't working? Any theories anyone?

The law student in me wants to argue perhaps birth rates are increasing because fewer teen mothers are opting for abortion. Even with a decrease in teen pregnancies, if there were enough girls deciding to keep the baby instead of aborting it, you could [theoretically] have a net increase in birth rates.

/Not necessarily my point of view and I have absolutely zero scientific evidence to back this up.
