Girls who don't fit the mold before pregnancy, but would you say they are capable of supporting themselves and a child at a reasonable level and exempt from falling to that level? Probably more than a few, but enough that seriously questions the rate? Who knows. Plus, when its a rate that high, who's to say its not a lot of the same people.

Its kind of like having a divorce rate that mirrors a 50% ratio. It doesn't necessarily mean half of everyone's marriage will fail... there's a lot of multiples. Even with that, there's a ton of poor decisions, but also a substantial amount of cases where there's reasonable circumstances.
