A truly disturbing report. Maybe not so much so. We haven't broken the downward trend line yet. And it's better than it used to be. I'll wait for the next checkpoint before I get disturbed. I read something the other day that startled me. I'm not certain I remember it correctly but I think so. It said that half (I think) of young women are pregnant at some time in their teens. Of those half deliver babies and fifteen percent have miscarriages or stillbirths. Wish I could recall where I saw it. 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. Yes, interesting.
