Nan I sometimes honestly believe pregnancy is something passed along in the water! Really! It spreads like a virus in some areas.
I wonder why West Virginia is the only state with this type of spike?
Has HHS been handing out more condoms and unbiased literature in those areas....or have Arne Duncan’s sex ed programs been fully implemented? /sarc
Moral ping!
Need more input on why teen pregnancies are only spiking in West Virginia.

Has Justin Bieber been there recently?
First let me say that it really bothers me the way kids are getting sexual active so young, but, I think God these girls are not killing their babies.
Didnt Bill Clinton visit about 7-10 months ago? ;-)
“She was a sophomore in high school when she first got pregnant. She says it wasn’t easy to grow up fast and she wants other teens to know about the realities of being a young mom.”
Ok, so it was so hard having one child, she went ahead and had another? Did she not figure it out the first time?
Maybe these girls looked at the crappy unemployment numbers and made an informed decision that a child would entitle them to gov’t benefits
I didn’t realize that Bill Clinton has been spending time in West Virginia.
Some antibiotics will reduce the efficacy of the pill. I know a couple of women who have become pregnant while taking the pill and on an antibiotic regimen, even though the pill was normally effective. Was there an outbreak of some in-school-transmitted or community acquired disease that required antibiotic treatment that may have led to an uptick in pregnancy?
I guess the girls have been watching that TV program with the Duggar family in it and the re-runs!
Q. Why do so many teens get pregnant in West Virginia?
A. What ELSE is there to do on a Friday night?
At least the wording in the story isn’t what they typically use in UK stories about such matters... you know, when they talk about so and so ‘fell pregnant’.....
This reminds me of a totally UN-PC joke (with all apologies to WV Freepers as it’s just a joke).
What’s the most frequently heard phrase coming out of the bedroom window of a mobile home in West Virginia?
“Git off me Daddy! Yer crushin’ my cigarettes!”
