• Op-Ed Columnist - Let's Talk About Sex - Op-Ed - NYTimes.com: In fact, a 2001 Unicef report said that the United States teenage birthrate was higher than any other member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

But, its teenage birthrate was one-sixth of ours, and its teenage abortion rate was half of ours.
