  1. YoungLivesUpdate May 2011

  2. The Need: Out of Wedlock Pregnancies “In 2009, 41% of children born in the USA were born to unmarried mothers (up from 5% in 1960). That includes 73% of non-Hispanic black children, 53% of Hispanic children and 29% of non-Hispanic white children. Those are not misprints.” (“Our view on kids: When unwed births hit 41%, it's just not right”: USA Today, January 25, 2011)

  3. The Need: Out of Wedlock Pregnancies

  4. The Need: Teen Pregnancies One in 10 American babies are born to a teen mother. This represents the second-highest teen birthrate among developed nations. Only Bulgaria has more teens having babies.

  5. The Need: Teen Pregnancies “…evidence is overwhelming that children of single mothers — particularly teen mothers — suffer disproportionately high poverty rates, impaired development and low school performance.” (“Our view on kids: When unwed births hit 41%, it's just not right”: USA Today, January 25, 2011)
