I missed this yesterday, I'll try to read it this weekend. This was from another thread, by AP. Interestingly, no one noticed the hispanic births mentioned.I assume the overall rate includes the Hispanics, so they're having babies 3 to 1 to the rest of us.
Among other statistics in the report:
-- Births to unmarried mothers rose slightly.
-- Women of Hispanic origin had the highest birth rate, 96.9 per 1,000 women, compared to the overall rate of 66.1.
-- Two teenage girls younger than 15 gave birth to at least their fourth child.
-- There were 1,512 first-time mothers between the ages of 45 and 54.
