Teen Birth Rate: Mississippi Quadruples New Hampshire

Teen births declined overall in the United States for 2009, the latest year available according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But a wide disparity exists between states with the highest and lowest rates, which are based on the number births by teenagers 15-19 years old per 1,000 individuals.

Mississippi, with the highest rate (64.2), is four times that of New Hampshire, which has the lowest rate (16.4). Geographically, the highest teen rates are found in the Southwest and Southeast: New Mexico (63.9), Texas (60.7), Oklahoma (60.1), Arkansas (59.3), Louisiana (52.7), Kentucky (51.3), Alabama (50.7), Arizona (50.6) and Tennessee (50.6).

The lowest teen birth rates are all in New England, with New Hampshire joined by Vermont (17.4), Massachusetts (19.6) an Connecticut (21.0).

So far, no one has accused DUmmy The Straight Story of racism. I think it's because they already know he's a lunatic.

4. I think it has to do with the fact that
New HH is a blue state is probably has better sex ed programs and has good access to contraceptives, while Mississippi is a red state, and most likely has little to no sex ed and little to no access to contraceptives.

I'm sure they have also compared the abortion statistics, so they really know how many pregnancies there were...not just how many babies were born.   ::)  Oh, wait, I forgot...killing the baby IS "better birth control" to DUmmies.

I seem to recall that there was some news earlier this year or late last year about the CDC not releasing current abortion statistics.

Found it.

http://www.redstate.com/erick/2011/02/03/obama-administration-covering-up-abortion-data/

Quote
RedState has uncovered evidence - confirmed by the CDC’s own press office - that the Obama administration is deliberately playing “hide the ball” on nationwide abortion statistics. For apparently the first time in 40 years, the CDC’s annual “Abortion Surveillance Report” was not published, and there are “no plans” for the data to be produced at this time.

Whatever you feel about abortion and its legality, virtually all people agree that transparency and factual accuracy are important in the abortion debate. That is why even Planned Parenthood spends a substantial amount of money each year funding the Guttmacher Institute’s studies on abortion statistics. While pro-life groups have long contended that Guttmacher’s methods systematically undercount abortions, that is beside the point; the Guttmacher studies have long provided a consistent source for studying abortion trends over time. Which aggregate data, we re-emphasize, is important not only for both sides of the idealogical debate, but is also important medical information.


Something else interesting.



Most of those states have high minority populations.

That's the facts, the reason and the truth...BUT...you can't say that, it's racist.

Any demographic break-out of the data in the OP?

Yeah, lets see some of that...you know, apples to apples, white to white, black to black. I'll just about bet that the rate of illegitimate babies in the south registered as "White" are lower per the census data than in NH.

I could be wrong. I was once about 50 years ago.

Family history, religion and political affiliation may help as well.
