A new study published by the CDC show that teen pregnancy levels have dropped to the lowest level since they began recording data back in the 1940s. But, that is a general statistic, an average of all the states.

Who knows how accurate it is, but I don't have a hard time believing it.
Acceptance and permissiveness has lead to education and awareness.
