Then when kids reach the rebelious teen years they act on it - without the parents involvement due to it being a taboo thing. Here are some statistics from http://www.pregnancy-info.net/teen_pregnancy_statistics.html.
"In 2000, the total number of teen pregnancies in the United States was 821,810 (84 pregnancies per 1,000 people). Compare this with Canada whose total rate of teen pregnancies for 2000 was 38,600 (38 pregnancies per 1,000 people). Many other western industrialized countries, such as Sweden and France, have even lower teen pregnancy rates than Canada."
What do you guys think?

I think that your causality is all wrong. Nice try, though.
