http://www.welfareacademy.org/conf/past/brown3.shtml this says around 40% in 1996

I have found more statistics from websites that are in the range from 20-40% and that it is once again on the rise after a 10 year decline.
That is just one study. Some of the studies only account from baby's born from teen pregnancy's and not abortion. I still do not find it a crime for a young girl to become pregnant and it was more of the norm in the past for woman to married in their early 20's and have kids then. I am disgusted in the insults that have gone around about this poor girl and the prejudiced about her. This prejudice that is allowed here about young woman having children in such a harsh way would not be allowed towards other prejudices. I think everyone needs to mind their own business and leave this girl alone, as we all know we all figure out our own way in life and not all of our choices has everyone thought were best for us. It is sad to put this expectation of perfect on everyone and then judge them.

Guttmacher Institute, U.S. Teenage Pregnancy Statistics: National and State Trends and Trends by Race and Ethnicity, >, accessed Sept. 12, 2006.

75 pregnancies occur every year per 1,000 women aged 15-19; this rate has declined 36% since its peak in 1990.

That's 7.5%

Obama was the one who said that we should leave her family alone. Where do you get your information, from the McCain web site?
