Re: Teenage pregnancies. The best way to deal with this is Education, and more education. From the start of Primary School. With easy access to contaception from the age at which a person starts having sex. It is possible to have safe sex- that is safe from disease and safe from pregnancy - at any age after the start of puberty. US schools act as though this is impossible, and in some schools no sex ed. of any sort takes place.

Drug ed is considered important but many will never use the illegal stuff. However everyone on the planet has a sexual experience at some stage-- that should be acknowledged in all schools' curriculum.
