WASHINGTON, May 3 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Marking the fifth annual National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton today noted that new statistics from the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy show we still have work to do to prevent teen pregnancy and encourage teens to delay sexual activity. Senators Reid and Clinton are cosponsors of legislation, the Prevention First Act, which has as a top goal reducing teen pregnancies.

"All Americans agree we should reduce the number of unintended pregnancies, and these new numbers show how much work remains to be done," said Senator Reid. "We must find common ground if ever America is to solve this difficult and persistent problem, and I am proud to be working with Senator Clinton on our common goal of educating teens, lowering teen pregnancy rates, and reducing the number of abortions."
