[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As I stated, families that are higher SES will hush it up quickly. So, it may be that Frost MS has a lot more teen pregnancies, but all of them were "taken care of". You really don't know. Yes, lower income SES girls tend to have higher teen pregnancies, but that is mostly due to 1. lack of access to birth control/abortion 2. cultural aversion to abortion. Upper SES families don't have the same level of aversion to abortion. From what I have read on this forum, a lot of young girls from good schools are having sex, too, and from what I have read, a lot of these parents are giving their girls access to birth control, something that lower SES parents wouldn't or couldn't do. That, to me, is the only difference.[/quote] Whether or not the abortion rate is the same, the data is consistent that higher SES will get pregnant less because they are less likely to engage in sexual activity and, if they do, more likely to practice safe sex.[/quote]
