Obviously, abstinence is the only way to truly prevent pregnancies but here are ways that we can help: • strengthen a culture of personal responsibility regarding sex, getting pregnant, and bringing children into the world • support responsible policies that will increase the use of contraception • provide more education to teens, parents, and young adults. http://www.thenationalcampaign.org/tooyoung/default.aspx The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy
