And they had said that it is not reasonable to say that teenage and underage pregnancies are bleak anymore.
Which is why I quoted their comment.
I think reading this last line would've been helpful here.
Current trends would still include rape and sexual assault though at lower levels.
What's your point here? Just getting your jollies off on making sure I know I'm wrong and that pregnant 12 year olds are only getting pregnant from other 12 year olds these days?
I think you misunderstood me. My criticism is of this particular data. This particular data is so terrible that it doesn't even support the claim that any underage person has ever been pregnant!
To make any reasonable conclusions about the state of underage and teenage pregnancy, we have to go outside this particular data, because this data, as presented here, is total garbage.
