Education, better access to birth control and RU-486. But mostly better education. The rate is still shockingly high though.

I like sun spot's answer This is old---
teens "...in 1995 were choosing more-effective methods. A significant proportion had switched to long-acting hormonal methods that were introduced to the U.S. market in the early 1990s, namely, the injectable contraceptive (Depo-Provera) and the contraceptive implant (Norplant). By 1995, more than one in eight teen contraceptive users (13%) was using a long-acting method, and primarily because of this shift, sexually active teens became increasingly successful at avoiding pregnancy." http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/tgr/05/1/gr050107.html
