I'm going to need you to cite the evidence. Regardless, if there's a disparity between the pregnancy rate and the birth rate, I can only assume that either the miscarriage rate is extraordinarily high or that they're being aborted. But I can't possibly wager a guess without a proper citation.

Pregnancy rates are high, birth rates are low. Someone's having abortions. Or Angelina Jolie is adopting them all.

Hopefully they will live their lives right and go to Heaven. All babies are a blessing and should be thought of in that way.

Before I respond to such a question, I was to see your evidence. Post a link, please, that breaks down teen pregnancy by state and live births to teenagers by state, then we will talk. In the meantime, I think you're just baiting us.

The red states also have more abortion clinics and that is where they go.

I would imagine that they are raised by their families.
Even though I have abandoned the Republican party my people are from the red states and in the red states you
don't give away family.

But it's the dems that get pregnant. That's a fact. Look at the pregnancy rate for blacks and they certainly don't vote for GOP candidates....
