Coming on the heels of reports that one in four teenage girls has a sexually transmitted disease and that the teen birth rate has increased for the first time in 15 years, the data is triggering alarm across the ideological spectrum.

A truly disturbing report. With no attempt to minimize its importance, I found it interesting that the one in four number came from a study of a 2003-2004 database of 615 women aged 14-19 and included zero cases of HIV or syphilis.
