So I was curious to see what the cause/effect of these needs were.
I went to the Kaiser Family Foundation and downloaded the teen birth stats by state, and the uninsured population by state.
I then compared this against the Democrat/Republican split for the 2004 election.
Suprisingly, Republicans have a higher teen birth rate, and a higher instance of uninsured people out there.
In short Republican states have a 51.8% higher teen birth rate and a 28.4% higher uninsured rate.
Here are the numbers.
