US Leads All Developed Nations on Teenage Pregnancy

Do you think maybe this has something to do with lack of mandated sexual education (other than thumping on abstinence)?

There's also Colordo's experience with IUDs: https://www.denverpost.com/2017/11/30/colorado-teen-pregnanc...

This is the kind of birth control that we as a people seem to want to ban, though: https://bust.com/feminism/14138-colorado-is-shutting-down-aw...

I think that sexual education is super important at early ages, it should be a mandatory class in all schools, at least people should know what is sex, how to prevent unwanted pregnancy, which one are the contraception methods, sexually transmitted diseases, etc.

But also, there has to be easy access to economic and effective contraception methods
