10 States with the Highest Teenage Pregnancy Rates in America

10. Wyoming

Wyoming is placed last on our list of states with the highest teenage pregnancy rates in America. In 2014, this state had a teenage pregnancy rate of 30.1 per 1000 girls, while in 2015 it was 29.2 per 1000. I hope the rate continues to decrease in the following years. It is estimated that teen pregnancies cost Wyoming State $23 million every year. Given such high expense, there is no question that the government should rethink its policies.
