So they pick four countries, point out that the U.S. has a higher teen pregnancy
rate than those four, and use that to support a headline that the rate is "highest
in the U.S.". If you pick your countries carefully, you can probably prove about
anything.
A major Norwegian paper was recently complaining that studies show that Norway
has the highest teen pregnancy rate. We can't both be the highest.

Love, n.: A form of temporary insanity afflicting the young. It is curable
either by marriage or by removal of the afflicted from the circumstances
under which he incurred the condition. It is sometimes fatal, but more
often to the physician than to the patient.
