Actually from what I have read about Planned Parenthood here I naturally assumed that could be the cause!
More likely however it is something to do with the media. Is that MTV show with the pregnant teens still on the air? It does glorify being a teen mother. In fact it would cause Planned Parenthood to lose money.
Plus “Calhoun, Clay, Mingo, McDowell and Tyler counties” are among the poorest counties. Could it be that these girls are getting pregnant seeking something better? Just don’t know.
It would be interesting to know why there seems to be a sudden spike in those numbers. You’re right that the media can influence this to a certain degree. It would seem to me that this presents a great opportunity for local churches to do something very good. If they do it together...even better.
