Easy.

Small towns where there may not even be a local pharmacy, and even it
there is, everyone knows everyone else's business.


Small towns are not where the problem lies.




Don't you righties even bother to look?

Rural teens at high risk for pregnancy, analysis finds

Michelle Healy, USA TODAY 12:01 a.m. EST February 21, 2013

First-of-its-kind analysis by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and
Unplanned Pregnancy shows that the teen birth rate in rural counties is
nearly one-third higher than the rest of the nation.

Nationally, the birth rate for U.S. teens has plunged to record low
levels, but a new analysis shows that a disproportionate share of teen
births are in rural communities.

In 2010, the birth rate for girls ages 15 to 19 in rural counties was 43
per 1,000, nearly one-third higher than the rate for metropolitan
counties (33 per 1,000), says a report released Thursday.
