Surprise, surprise: “Teen birthrates hew closely to America’s political divide. They are substantially higher in conservative states that voted for McCain in 2008 (with a correlation of .65) and negatively correlated with states that voted for Obama (-.62)… Overall, teen birthrates remain highest in America’s most religious, politically conservative and blue-collar states.”
