congrats to Mississippi for finishing first with 68.4 births per 1,000 women ages 15-19 in 2006)
New Mexico and Texas rounded out the top three, but don't worry. i'm sure they're still at it.
my ol' Kentucky home was 68.8 per 1,000 in 1991, and 49.1 in 2005. that's -29 in 14 years. 2006 stats: 54.6.
my 1991-2005 stats come from the NVSR Vol. 56, #6 table on pg. 11
i like looking at charts n tables.
