So if teen pregnancies are down and abortions are also down then what's going on? Are we supposed to believe that teens are having less sex or that they are now more responsible in using birth control?

i'd assume the latter. why does it matter? the "bad" parts are teen pregnancy and abortion. those are lowered

we should be rejoicing
