26. I have a niece and a nephew (not from the same family)
who were raised with abstinence only education on the part of their parents. My niece ended up pregnant at 20 just months before her 21st birthday. When I asked her why she was not taking birth control she said she did not want to have "that exam" to get the pills. Oy!!!

I have a nephew who got his girlfriend pregnant right as she was entering her senior year in high school. She walked down the graduation aisle very pregnant but she wasn't the only one in her small rural high school. There were other pregnant teens in her class.
