YouTube Description:

Via Think Progress: "The number of teen births in the U.S. dropped again in 2010, according to a government report, with nearly every state seeing a decrease.

Mississippi continues to have the highest teen birth rate, with 55 births per 1,000 girls. New Hampshire has the lowest rate at just under 16 percent...". Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss this in the context of the role of abstinence sex education programs on The Young Turks.
