Yeah, why not look up teen pregnancy rates so you know what you're
talking about instead of yaking from your ass, as usual?

That's because Mississippi ranks right up there at the top!!!

Here, let me do a 30 second search that proves you wrong...

See Washington State in the top ten? Guess not, ass talker...

Not only is MS stupid enough to get pregnant, they're the most likely
to keep 'em as teens.

Mississippi, the state that leads in the promotion of teen parenthood.

It is also interesting when you spin that up by race although the
result is not politically correct to mention.

Of course in the south, that 15 year old might be married.

Color doesn't matter if your population is undereducated and lives in
poverty.

How many 15 year olds do you know that are married? Poppycock and you
know it.
