Apr 14, 2005: A Democratic policy success story: "The rate of teen pregnancy dropped 30 percent between 1991 and 2002, reducing by nearly a half million the number of children living in poverty. And what were the reasons for the enormous drop?

'During the economic boom of the 1990s, there was more opportunity for teens and others to improve their economic situation through employment,' said Deborah Cutler-Ortiz, director of the family income division at the Children's Defense Fund. Additionally, government initiatives such as job training, tax credits and health care helped lift some families out of poverty during the period, she said. [Emphasis added.]

President Clinton's economic successes and pro-family initiatives led directly to a result that every American supports: fewer teen pregnancies."
