Nevada’s teenage pregnancy rates remain one of the highest in the country, but there might be a silver lining.
A new report by non-profit Guttmacher Institute shows teen pregnancy rates in the Silver State have dropped dramatically over the past 25 years. According to the report, Nevada's rate was seventh-highest in 2010 with 68 pregnancies per 1,000 teens. That's less than half reported in 1988, when there were 142 per 1,000. About 6,000 Nevada teens became pregnant in 2010.

You won’t find a paywall here. Come as often as you like — we’re not counting. You’ve found a like-minded tribe that cherishes what a free press stands for. If you can spend another couple of minutes making a pledge of as little as $5, you’ll feel like a superhero defending democracy for less than the cost of a month of Netflix.
