Typical analysis from American Spirit: "Abortions are down because of contraception and more oral sex and hand-jobs. Dr. Drew the #1 radio sex therapist for teens has reported this. Also because of RU-486, the pill which eliminates the need for abortions." - American Spirit, June 2004 "Adult, postschool men father two thirds of the infants born to school-age mothers and average 4.2 years older than the senior-high mothers and 6.7 years older than the junior-high mothers." - Males and Chew; American Journal of Public Health, 1996 "As a result, a growing number of policymakers are embracing the notion that adolescent pregnancy rates can be lowered and welfare costs reduced if states more rigorously enforce statutory rape laws prohibiting sexual intercourse between adults and minors. In the last year, several states have taken steps to punish men who violate these laws. Meanwhile, the new federal welfare law urges that "states and local jurisdictions...aggressively enforce statutory rape laws" and requires state welfare plans to outline an education and training program for law enforcement officials, counselors and educators that focuses on "the problem of statutory rape." It also directs the attorney general to implement a program to study the connection between statutory rape and adolescent pregnancy, with particular attention to "predatory older men."2 " - P Donovan, 1997, Family Planning Perspectives
