Teen births per state , per per 1,000 teenage girls.

Nothing strange here, but then i saw this:

http://news.yahoo.com/most-religious-states-revealed-survey-114402764.html

Out of the top 10 states of teen pregnancy, 6 are in the Top 10 most religious states. Is there a correlation here? thoughts?

I wonder, do you think the availability of Hitchens videos on Youtube may have been a factor in these blatant acts of Godlessness-es?

Yeah, but we need to know the race and poverty level of the households.

It is important ;)

Race and poverty level of the teen pregnancy households, or the religious households? :P

BTW, Im not surprised to find my state is in the top ten religious states.....it's number 18 on the pregnancy list though....thought it would be higher.

I bet the majority of these teens having babies are children of teens themselves.

I cannot find anything statistics regarding religion&teen pregnancies

Blacks have the highest teen pregnancy rates
How many black American bible thumping right winger repubs do you know Gazz?

Blacks down south are highly religious....this is nothing new. Do they abort or keep it due to religious reasons?

abortion rates per state are interesting
