"CO offered free birth control, teen births dropped 40% statewide!" They dropped 40% in Alabama too. That must be a damn effective program!
@politicalmath @St_Rev Source for this comparison? Any idea of the explanation? 40% drop in 5 years without intervention would be startling.

@Meaningness@St_Rev CO teen pregnancy rate drop was 29.1% but UT's drop was 26.4%. So free birth control accounts for 2.7% of the drop?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@Meaningness@St_Rev Have the data open at home, will give later. Rates dropped all over the country in a wide range from 10% - 50% -
@politicalmath@Meaningness@St_Rev it's just correlation, but teens have also become 40% less attractive
