During the show it was stated (and not disputed) that 1/3 of 20 year-old girls get pregnant.
[Statistics show that approximately four in
ten girls are estimated to become pregnant before age 20.

But according to:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/teenagepregnancy.html#cat22
Results In 2002, an estimated 757,000 pregnancies
among teenagers 15-19 years resulted in 425,000 live births, 215,000 induced
abortions, and 117,000 fetal losses. The overall teenage pregnancy rate was
estimated at 76.4 pregnancies per 1,000 females aged 15-19 years, down 10
percent from 2000 (84.8 per 1,000), and 35 percent lower than the peak rate in
1990 (116.8 per 1,000). The 2002 rate is an historic low for the Nation. Rates
for young teenagers declined relatively more than for older teenagers throughout
this 12-year period.
76.4 per 1000 = 7.6%
What's the truth? 7.6%, 33%, 40 %. ???
