Also, a lot of young women from highly religious backgrounds have been indoctrinated to think that PLANNING for sex makes you a bad, bad person, while getting carried away in the heat of the moment is more forgivable. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > Bingo. Teenagers being the same everywhere, I bet most American high schools, rich or poor, north or south, have essentially the same conception rate; the only difference is how many pregnancies are brought to term. I don’t think you meant “conception rate”. The rate at which they are having sex - maybe, but probably not. But the notion that every middle-class high school is conceiving at the same rate as some inner city school and just aborting them - no, that’s not factual.
