The dramatic progress the nation has made in reducing rates of teen pregnancy is justifiably noted and celebrated. Even so, the proportion of sexually experienced teens who get pregnant or cause a pregnancy remains alarmingly high. Much still needs to be done to convince young people of the value of delaying sexual activity and to convince those who are sexually active to use contraception consistently and carefully.
