Better sex ed = lower teen pregnancy rates
[quote]The report –- which was based on data collected until 2011 -- revealed that the California teen pregnancy rate reached a 20-year low that year. While in 1991, there were 70.9 births for every 1,000 teens aged 15-19, in 2011 this number decreased to 28 births per 1,000 teens.
Teen pregnancy rates fell across all ethnic groups, according to the report. The Hispanic teen birth rate dropped from 73.6 in 2001 to 42.7 in 2011 –- although Hispanics continue to be the group with the highest teen birth rate. Teen pregnancy rates for African-Americans, Whites and Asian-Americans also decreased significantly.
Several factors contributed to the falling pregnancy rates, the department said in a press release. One factor was the state’s school sex education program, which law requires to be comprehensive and medically accurate. The report also credits community-based education programs that provide sexual health information to teens and their parents.[/quote][[url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/19/california-teen-pregnancy-rates-drop_n_3625090.html]link[/url]]
Who'd've thunk?
Now if only other states could kill their abstinence-only sex ed, they'd see lower teen pregnancy rates, too.

Editado por die wily: 7/26/2013 3:13:33 PMIf you don't talk about sex, it can't happen. People need to have mature sexual views; minors are by definition immature, therefore only adults can be ethically permitted to learn about sex. Q.E.D.
