Mississippi strikes again! It’s been on fire with these charts recently!
Honestly the really impressive thing is [how much it has declined in the US and how quickly](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Teenage_Pregnancies_in_the_US_by_Age_(CDC).png#mw-jump-to-license), particularly among 15-17 year olds who are much less equipped to deal with it.
Correlates with overall TFR, as theorized. These states are in the 1.8-1.89 range, while it is much lower in green areas on average. Notable exceptions are the Dakotas and Nebraska, which have the highest TFR without the highest teen birth rates, though still above average.
Ah, the Bible Belt. I thought premarital sex was a sin?
I’ve noticed, in so many of these posts about death, poverty, and just bad things overall, a consistent pattern. I appreciate living in Colorado.

Ah the usual suspects are at the “top “ of the class once again
I wouldve thought itd be higher than that
