This could have been worded better:

From this article in the Dallas Morning News

"Texas has made less headway in reducing teen births than the nation as a whole, according to data in the Annie E. Casey Foundation's annual Kids Count report to be released today."

Don't you need to prevent the pregnancy before you can prevent the birth?

I agree! We've talked about how the sex education program is lacking. I plan to do everything I can to change the program from Abstinence-only, to Abstinence-plus. Really, the only sure way to prevent pregnancies and STI's is to abstain from sex. But, you and I know that our kids do not live in a bubble and are exposed everyday when they turn on the TV, radio, video games and so much more.

Have you considered editorial writing? Just a thought!

And here in Europe - oh my gosh! Sex is considered normal at 13!
So sad. And... if you aren't having sex - you are considered abnormal.
