Colorado Teen Pregnancy Rates Drop With Birth Control Initiative - NBC News
40% decrease in teen pregnancy rate
40% decrease in abortion rate
It seems like a great idea to me. The 'drawback' seems to be the cost: it's $900 and free to teens, but the amount of money NOT spent on abortions and welfare for teen moms would make up for that. It seems reasonable and practical. Sex education is mentioned as an alternative, and I'm not against sex education but, rather, very much for it. But it isn't that effective alone, not anywhere near as effective as this program. This program should be implemented nationwide.
