Teen Pregnancy on the Rise

A report from the Guttmacher Institute released today
shows that the U.S. teen pregnancy rate rose 3 percent in 2006, rising instead of falling for the first time since 1990.

While we have known that the teen birth rate rose in 2006 and 2007, this is the first confirmation of a rise in the pregnancy rate, which takes into account not only births, but also miscarriages and abortions.
