"Experts like Ehrlich know that the teen birth rate is dropping fast — faster than it has since the federal government began to keep count. They know that this is not about teens terminating more pregnancies; separate data shows the teen abortion rate has steadily declined since the late 1980s. What they don't understand is what, exactly, is driving the trend. But they do have lots of ideas. I've spent a lot of time talking to experts who study teen pregnancy. They all told me something pretty similar: We don't have one clear-cut explanation for why teen births are going down. And if anyone tells you they have the answer, you should be skeptical."
