According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly all of the states with the highest rates for teen pregnancies are in the Deep South (aka., the Bible Belt), where abstinence-only policies are the norm.

Tennessee, meanwhile, is roughly tied with Alabama in the top 10 (or bottom 10, depending on how you look at it), and policymakers in the Volunteer State are eager to address the problem....
