Peter, I was educating you on the so-called morality issue the Republican States have with their higher divorce rates.

Using your words, thank you for admitting that your ideals for morals includes high-divorce rates.

Regards,
Amy J

The statistics for teen pregnancies are interesting.
to 113 per 1,000 in Nevada and 128 per 1,000 in the District of Columbia (Table 2). The highest state adolescent pregnancy rates after Nevada’s were in Arizona, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas.

Except for DC, all these states are red. Contrast that to
Vermont, New Hampshire, Minnesota and Maine had the lowest rates after North Dakota’s.

Except for North Dakota, all are blue.

I suppose you could make the argument that the marriage rate for 15-19 year olds is higher in the red states than the blue states, but it would have to be extremely high to make up the difference. So your thesis is flawed.
