"Other developed countries focus much more on contraception. The upshot is that while teenagers in the US have about as much sexual activity as teenagers in Canada or Europe, American girls are fours times as likely as German girls to become pregnant, almost five times as likely as French girls to have a baby, and more than seven times as likely as Dutch girls to have an abortion. Young Americans are five times as likely to have HIV as young Germans, and teenagers' gonorrhea rate is 70 times higher in the US than in the Netherlands or France." -Nicholas D. Kristof, NY Times
