Why do women have so many kids with different men?

Teen pregnancy rates are highest in the red states that are, coincidentally, the states with the largest Hispanic and Black populations. Go figure.

"Mississippi's rate was more than 60 percent higher than the national average in 2006, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. The teen pregnancy rate in Texas and New Mexico was more than 50 percent higher.

The three states have large proportions of black and Hispanic teenagers — groups that traditionally have higher birth rates, experts noted."

Even more interesting...progressives target minorities with their *sex ed* and *diversity* programs...and look what happens:

Teen pregnancy rates are highest in red states. Has nothing to do with liberal or progressive. Divorce is also highest in those states.
State With the Highest Teen Pregnancy Rate Is ... State-by-State Abortion Rates

Chunk the state rates and compare the cities ... You may get closer to the truth of the matter. I live in a red state that has had high teen pregnancy rates on the statewide scale ... But that rate is facilitated by extremely high numbers in Progressive Liberal run cities full of Progressive Liberals.

In fact ... The comparably lower rates in regards to Conservative communities actually make the Progressive Liberal hellholes look a little better at the state level.

Teen birth rates are highest in religious states.

Strayhorn compiled data from various data sets. The religiosity information came from a sample of nearly 36,000 participants who were part of the U.S. Religious Landscapes Survey by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life conducted in 2007, while the teen birth and abortion statistics came from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
For religiosity, the researchers averaged the percentage of respondents who agreed with conservative responses to eight statements, including: ''There is only one way to interpret the teachings of my religion," and ''Scripture should be taken literally, word for word."

They found a strong correlation between statewide conservative religiousness and statewide teen birth rate even when they accounted for income and abortion rates.

For instance, the results showed more abortions among teenagers in the less religious states, which would skew the findings since fewer teens in these states would have births. But even after accounting for the abortions, the study team still found a state's level of religiosity could predict their teen birth rate. The higher the religiosity, the higher was the teen birth rate on average.

John Santelli of the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University calls the study "well-done," adding that the results are not surprising.

"The index of religiosity is tapping into more fundamentalist religious belief," Santelli said. "I'm sure there are parts of New England that have very low teen birth rates, which have pretty high religious participation, but they're probably less conservative, less fundamentalist type of congregations."

If you looked at the link that I provided above. You would find that Latinas and Black women had relatively low birth rates in other states that were not considered religious.

"Though the factors that lead to teen pregnancy are numerous, the African-American community experiences the highest rate of early pregnancies in Orleans Parish. In 2008, according to the last year of released statistics currently with available data from the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, 15- to 17-year-old African-Americans saw a teen birth rate of 45.2 to 17.8 in the white community. And for 18 to 19-year-olds, the number raised to 117.6 to 71.5 (in 15 to 19 year-olds, the rate for African-Americans was 76 while the rate for whites was 40.4)."

Note that the statistics provided are for Orleans Parish and not mentioned to associate directly with race. Compare the white teen pregnacy rates in that unarguably blue Parish ... And it is still higher than more Conservative Parishes.

And that is true across the board. It's a racial thing, and the minorities are targeted by progressives.

Also you are probably too stupid to know this, but "teen pregnancy" is not he same thing, necessarily, as "out of wedlock birth" rates. Many of the teen pregnancies being counted in the *red* and *religious* states by the biased poll takers are young married women. Yes Virginia, sometimes people who get knocked up do get married. And when they do, they GREATLY reduce the chance that their children will be molested, abused, and criminal themselves.

It has nothing to do with the fact that their teachers are pushing condoms at them in school, and their moms are bringing thugs and criminals into the house on a regular basis....it's because they are CHRISTIAN!

"Though the factors that lead to teen pregnancy are numerous, the African-American community experiences the highest rate of early pregnancies in Orleans Parish. In 2008, according to the last year of released statistics currently with available data from the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, 15- to 17-year-old African-Americans saw a teen birth rate of 45.2 to 17.8 in the white community. And for 18 to 19-year-olds, the number raised to 117.6 to 71.5 (in 15 to 19 year-olds, the rate for African-Americans was 76 while the rate for whites was 40.4)."

Note that the statistics provided are for Orleans Parish and not mentioned to associate directly with race. Compare the white teen pregnacy rates in that unarguably blue Parish ... And it is still higher than more Conservative Parishes.

....


Continue to focus on the state and continue to never address the problem.
States don't screw around ... People do ... And it obvious who the people screwing around are.

You talk a lot about responsibility but you run like hell when having to actually accept it.


Very hard to argue that Orleans Parish is a "religious place".

The only person that wants to run away from responsibility or reality for that matter is you.

... Get A Fucking Clue!
