Is it, really?... Did you not read the fact that ABORTION is the highest in the U.S., and since more teenagers are aborting it means they don't carry on with their pregnancies?...
The percentage given in that website is about the DROP IN CHILDREN BORN/ AKA BIRTH RATES...not a drop in women getting pregnant...
Teen Pregnancy in the United States
In 2010, a total of 367,752 infants were born to women aged 15–19 years, for a live birth rate[/szie] of 34.3 per 1,000 women in this age group.1 This is a record low for U.S. teens in this age group, and a drop of 9% from 2009. Birth rates fell 12% for women aged 15–17 years, and 9% for women aged 18–19 years.

You should seriously read the links you give before puting your foot in your mouth...
While reasons for the declines are not clear, teens appear to be less sexually active, and more of those who are sexually active appear to be using contraception than in previous years.

Pfft.

Cuba does not recognize dual citizenship. Cuban-Canadians must enter Cuba on their Cuban passport. They must also show a valid Canadian passport in order to return to Canada. Under Cuban law, the Government of Canada cannot provide consular services to Canadian nationals or to permanent residents of Canada with Cuban citizenship.

Your videos are off topic. Please provide proof that Cuban women are being denied contraception.

People who do not think that contraceptives and abortions through the government should stand in line for all the free babies it will create.
I'd rather pay for an abortion for an unwanted child than to pay for it to be on the government rolls for life.

That is YOUR choice to believe so...
Why must millions of other Americans, and I be FORCED to pay for what YOU and some others BELIEVE is right?...
Who gives you the right to FORCE your views on others?...

Who are YOU to tell me or anyone else what rights we have or don't have in my families medical care? It is equal for all, whether you like it or not...and OP? Exactly how do you feel about rape pregnancies? By your own logic, you would be forcing something on an innocent female that she NEVER asked for... by not allowing a poor female the choice to either abort or even have contraception to stop the pregnancy arising from a rape....
