Too Much Religion Leads to High Teen Pregnancy Rates

Yes I understand the difference between Birth rates and pregnancy rates, but did you read her blog? Just because she got the title wrong doesn't mean I'm wrong.

I quote: "U.S. states whose residents have more conservative religious beliefs on average tend to have higher rates of teenagers giving birth, according to a new study forthcoming in the journal Reproductive Health."

Clearly she meant birth rates and not pregnancy rates. So therefore my argument stands, religious people tend to have fewer abortions because they believe that all life is sacred and therefore will have higher birth rates. I'm not asking you to believe what they believe but to think instead of over generalizing and characterizing religious people as being ignorant and backward.

the statement says "higher rate of giving birth" which needs to be discerned from your headline "Too Much Religion Leads to High Teen Pregnancy Rates" ....really, Ms. Erbe .... perhaps more religious girls carry to term vs. aborting.
