wls
By ABC7
November 17, 2011

It was only a slight decrease from 32.9 percent in 2009 to 32.8 percent in 2010. But experts say it's further evidence that the increase in these births has leveled off.

The study also reported teen birth rates are down to a record low. In fact, it's the lowest rate ever recorded in almost 70 years, 34 births per 1000 teens.
