After a 14-year decline the teen pregnancy rate rapidly jumped last year. The Washington Post reported last year that after 14 years of steady decline there was a significant increase of 3 percent.
New data suggests that the US is facing a teen pregnancy crisis and that national abstinence only programs in schools are not working.  Makes sense when you look at what the media teaches teens. The media teaches that abstinence doesn’t work; that teens need to be safe.
