Thanks for injecting partisan bullsh*t into the discussion.
Since you enjoy it, try this on for size.

Blue State Teen Pregnancy Rates Comparatively Higher
As set forth in the two correlation studies below, there is a statistically significant positive correlation between so-called Blue States and teen pregnancy rates. By contrast, there is a statistically significant negative correlation between Red States and teen pregnancy rates. Plainly put, teenage girls in more Democratic (liberal) states are more likely to get pregnant than teenage girls in more Republican (conservative) states.

Ayock: Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) was really misquided. The problem with teen preganancy is that the mother usually ends up needing some type of welfare--whether monthly benefits, food stamps, housing subsidies, whatever.

Compared to the defense budget, the money spent on welfare mothers is a drop in the ocean, but as the U.S. population continues to rise, the financial burden is going to get worse.

Immigrants, legal and illegal, are putting the U.S. population on a flight path to the moon. IMO, when there are 350 million people in this country by mid-Century, it will be too late to turn things around. Within a century, we are looking at something like 450M. www.negativepopulationgrowth.org has the figures.
