so texas leads the nation in teenagers that have had sex, and also has the most abstinence education.

Numerous places pass out free condoms, including planned parenthood and other social organizations. Also, not all poor kids steal. |

Oh that's right the article conveniently didn't provide the list. Remember, it says the national average is 47.8% and Texas is at 52.9%. Is California "not having a problem" at 51.3%? And Texas has like 75% of our border with Mexico and I would venture to guess has by far the most illegal immigrants if you compare those states. |

Next you're gonna tell me they should steal suits & ties so they can go to a job interview... QUOTE (Oasis @ Jul 14 2008, 07:37 PM) 2.

The government passes out free college money for them, and they don't take that. what the hell makes you think they're going to go get condoms if they wont get free money? |

And your guess would be by far wrong. http://www.statemaster.com/graph/peo_est_n...egal-immigrants California has twice the number of illegal immigrants. However, both states have approximately the same pregnancy rates from data I've read from Google research. That would suggest that there is not a strong correlation between illegal immigrants and teen pregnancy rates. -------------------- QUOTE (jonathan83 @ Nov 16 2007, 09:22 PM) |
