On average, U.S. women want to have two children. To accomplish that goal, a woman will spend close to three years pregnant, postpartum or attempting to become pregnant, and about three decadesmore than three-quarters of her reproductive lifetrying to avoid an unintended pregnancy

For a range of social and economic reasons, most individuals and couples want to plan the timing and spacing of their childbearing and to avoid unintended pregnancies. Unintended pregnancy also has a public health impact: Births resulting from unintended or closely spaced pregnancies are associated with adverse maternal and child health outcomes, such as delayed prenatal care, premature birth, and negative physical and mental health effects for children

For these reasons, reducing the unintended pregnancy rate is a national public health goal. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Healthy People 2020 campaign aims to increase the proportion of pregnancies that are intended by 10% between 2010 and 2020.

In 2011, nearly half (45% or 2.8 million) of the 6.1 million pregnancies in the United States each year were unintended.

Nope. Either birth control failed or they didnt use it (in which case they are idiots)

Well when you stop teaching kids life and just teach tests this is what happens...

I'm honestly shocked the % is that low

I remained a virgin until I was 19. I had many opportunities since age 11.
