The uncurious press, even regarding sex

My Way News:
"'There is much good news in these results,' Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson said in a statement. 'More teenagers are avoiding or postponing sexual activity, which can lead to sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancy or emotional and societal responsibilities for which they are not prepared.'"

Outgoing HHS secretary Thompson points out the good things that would be expected to follow from the reductions in teen sexual activity. But that is the only mention of unwanted pregnancies and STDs in the article. In a story of about 300 words that finds room to tell us the favored contraceptive methods for women generally, not just teens, you ought to find some reference to changes, if any, in these closely related issues.
