That's nots really true. The biggest problem is that Western society has, as a whole, adopted the "Sex-is-natural-and-you-should-do-it-as-much-as-you-want!" philosophy and that has, as a result, correlated to a higher rate of unwed teenage pregnancies. Now compare that number to the number of unwed teenage pregnancies in non-Western societies which shun premarital sex. You'll find that the rate is much, much higher. Hell, look at the percentage of unwed teenage pregnancies in the US sixty years ago versus now. It's no surprise that the percentage rose as people began to take a more lax attitude toward sex.

Nothing you do will reduce the number of teenage pregnancies for so long as society continues to advocate premarital sex. It's really as simple as that.
...Just a little bit of off-topicness.
