This article is mostly good but it distorts the issue of teen pregnancy. According to the government, teen pregnancy in the USA peaked in 1958, which was the peak year of the Baby Boom. Teen pregnancy has been in decline since 1958 (there was a brief surge around 1990, and then the downward trend renewed).<p>Please see the first chart in this National Vital Statistics Report from the Centers Of Disease Control:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cdc.gov&#x2F;nchs&#x2F;data&#x2F;nvsr&#x2F;nvsr49&#x2F;nvsr49_10.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cdc.gov&#x2F;nchs&#x2F;data&#x2F;nvsr&#x2F;nvsr49&#x2F;nvsr49_10.pdf</a><p>It&#x27;s not very surprising that teen pregnancy has declined since it has been declining for most of the last 60 years.<p>Of course, there is the separate issue of unmarried teens getting pregnant. The unmarried rate has risen from 12% to 79%, as the chart in the CDC report makes clear. Although even this trend seems to be now slowing, which is an interesting thing the article could have focused on, but didn&#x27;t.<p>ETA:<p>Also, the USA is not homogeneous, and the report mentions this:<p>&quot;Birth rates for teenagers vary substantially by State. In 1999, the most recent year for which State-specific birth rates are available, the rates for ages 15–19 years ranged from 24.0 for New Hampshire to 72.5 in Mississippi.&quot;
