State laws very on how to best approach teen sexual rights.  The age of consent in the United States is 16-18 years of age, depending on the state.  Some states allow teenagers to obtain abortions without parental consent and some require parental consent.  Parents differ on their views of what the state should do.  Some parents would like the state to take an active role by giving out contraceptives or providing abortion to teens and some parents are opposed to the state being involved.  The question becomes, what is the states role in preventing teen pregnancy?  The major purpose of the states, or any government, is to protect the rights of its people.  In this context rights are not defined as legal rights as the state could pass legal rights but moral rights, rights that every person should be able to enjoy.  We have the moral right to live are lives as we see fit as long as it does not infringe on someone else’s rights.   In this case the citizens are much divided and the states can not implement very many laws regarding teen sex without infringing on the rights of some parents to raise their own children how they see fit.  
	I do not think that any of the states have a good plan for dealing with teen pregnancy and I do not think that the states can fix the problem.  No matter how many laws you pass or how you implement the law the problem of teen pregnancy will not be solved.  The government can not solve the problem because teen pregnancy is not a legal matter but a matter of culture and ethics.  The government can help change the culture through education but the culture of a people comes from the people.  Cultures can be very hard to change and it could take a generation or two just to start to see a culture change but it can be done.
