The findings of a study recently completed at St. Anne's Maternity Hospital in Los Angeles may come as a shock to you. The most likely place for a teen-ager to become pregnant is in the boy's home. Second most likely place is in her home. The third most likely place is in the private home of another person. Way down on the list are the drive-in and the motel. We forbid our daughters to go to the drive-in movies; and then leave them at home and spend a week-end in Las Vegas." -ROBERT A.
