MAGA wants teen births. It won't work Teen birth rates are at historic lows — and young women want to keep it that way

I have taught teen HIV and Sex Ed for decades. This moment is shocking. Education is power. Are your state sex Ed laws up to date? That’s a place to fight back.

Ditto

For decades, we have worked to reduce teen pregnancy. NEVER NEVER NEVER could we have imagined the federal government bemoaning a decline in teen pregnancy. What can you do?? Work on your State-level sex education policy!!
