The large reduction in the teen abortion rate is partly the result of a higher percentage of pregnant teenagers choosing life for their preborn children. According to these new statistics, the percentage of pregnancies carried to term by women ages 15 to 19 between 1980 and 2017 increased by more than 10 percent.
An even more important reason for the drop in the teen abortion rate is that teenagers are now much less likely to become pregnant in the first place. According to Guttmacher, the teen pregnancy rate peaked in 1990 at 117.6 pregnancies per thousand teenaged females (girls 15 to 19). Since then, the teen pregnancy rate has declined by a whopping 73 percent.
This substantial long-term decline in the teen pregnancy rate in the United States is an important public-policy success story. Groups that support legal abortion and their allies in the mainstream media are quick to credit increases in contraception use for these changes. But even some left-wing media outlets such as Vox have admitted that there are other factors, such as the significant, durable, long-term decline in teenage sexual activity.

I hear kids are having less sex because the younger men prefer watching sex on their phones these days.
I wonder how much Covid lock-downs had to do with these statistics.
There’s some truth to that. There’s also been a significant drop in the percentage of teens who have driver’s licenses.

Hard for teens to knock each other up in the back seat of a Chevy when they don’t even drive.
Planned Parenthood must really be hurting...maybe they could promote transgenderism and get paid by government to dole out hormones to confused teens?

They could Uber!!
How much of the reduction is a result of girls using RU 486 and no one counting that as a form of abortion?
Perhaps evolution is at work here. All the people willing to kill their babies are weeding themselves out if the gene pool.
I’d bet the birth rate itself has probably dropped dramatically since last April. It’s not easy being intimate when folks are worried they may die if they get too close to someone else.
Perhaps those classes on how to wrap a banana paid off.
.......trannies don’t birth babies, gay guys don’t get the gals pregnant, gay guys don’t get gay guys pregnant, lesbians don’t get lesbians pregnant, morning after pills stops “normal” gals pregnancies so no abortion needed........................
what am I missing?
It's God given normal for teens to want sex with boy/girl each other.
Anything outside of that is Satanic...... including celebacy
Waaayyy back in the beginning ....
Genesis, chaper 1, verse 28:
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
It is now cool to be gay. And that’s that
Hard to get pregnant thru zoom with mom in the next room.
Surrogate mothers for gay men/couples
(Elton John) but that is probably not a very high number
It’s because all the women are competing for the time and attention of the top 10%-20% of men (who are getting as much action as they want without commitment, but who still don’t have time to knock up all the women who are willing); coupled with widespread use of birth control and/or the Lewinsky method.
Celibacy outside of marriage is hardly satanic. Celibacy inside of marriage, however...
The democrats will not be happy with the reduction of sacrifices to their gods. Their list for blood is insatiable.
I guess I wi have to step up to .and up for it. The only way out of our inevitable third world status is to outbreed the third world people being imported.
Are they sterile?
