Report shows drop in Wisconsin?s teen birth rates

A new report from University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health shows there was a 20 percent decline in births among 15-19-year-old women between 2000 and 2010. Dr. Patrick Remington, the author of the study, says that means there were about 1,700 fewer teen moms in the state, compared to rates from a decade ago.
