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...

States ranked by rates of pregnancy among women age 15-19 (pregnancies
per thousand):

1.Nevada (113)
2.Arizona (104)
3.Mississippi (103)
4.New Mexico (103)
5.Texas (101)
6.Florida (97)
7.California (96)
8.Georgia (95)
9.North Carolina (95)
10.Arkansas (93)

States ranked by rates of live births among women age 15-19 (births
per thousand):

1.Mississippi (71)
2.Texas (69)
3.Arizona (67)
4.Arkansas (66)
5.New Mexico (66)
6.Georgia (63)
7.Louisiana (62)
8.Nevada (61)
9.Alabama (61)
10.Oklahoma (60)

Trends by Race and Ethnicity" Guttmacher Institute September 2006.

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.

Looks like the christian fundie states lead the rest in teen
pregnancies. I guess those fundie christian values they teach in those
backwards churches make the diff.

Perhaps they should slice this by "born again" and "everyone else".
When you go by ethnicity the African Americans and Latinos don't look
so good. You could explain the Latino problem on the Catholic dogma
against any kind of limit on fertility.

Or sunspots...
