Less pregnant teenaged girls is unequivocally a good thing, period. One of the reasons there is less of it now is liberalism has helped secure more equality, freedom and opportunity for women than they had in the 50's. That too is unequivocally good.

As for the whole liberalism vs conservatism debate. Our socialist friends have far less teen pregnancy than we do:

Despite all this good news, the fact remains that teenagers in the United States continue to experience substantially higher pregnancy rates and birthrates than do teens in other Western industrialized countries (see chart). The adolescent pregnancy rate in the United States, for example, is nearly twice that in Canada and Great Britain and approximately four times that in France and Sweden. Moreover, teen birthrates have declined less steeply in the United States than in other developed countries over the last three decades.
