To authorize grants to carry out projects to provide education on preventing teen pregnancies, and for other purposes.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Teen Pregnancy Prevention, 
Responsibility, and Opportunity Act of 2006''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The United States has the highest teen-pregnancy rate 
        and teen birth rate in the western industrialized world, 
        costing the United States not less than $7,000,000,000 
        annually.
            (2) About 1 out of 3 of all young women in the United 
        States becomes pregnant before she reaches the age of 20.
            (3) Teen pregnancy has serious consequences for young 
        women, their children, and communities as a whole. Too-early 
        childbearing increases the likelihood that a young woman will 
        drop out of high school and that she and her child will live in 
        poverty.
            (4) Statistically, the sons of teen mothers are more likely 
        to end up in prison. The daughters of teen mothers are more 
        likely to end up teen mothers too.
            (5) Teens that grow up in disadvantaged economical, social, 
        and familial circumstances are more likely to engage in risky 
        behavior and have a child during adolescence.
            (6) Teens with strong emotional attachments to their 
        parents are more likely to become sexually active at a later 
        age. 7 out of 10 teens say that they are prepared to listen to 
        things parents thought they were not ready to hear.
            (7) 78 percent of white and 70 percent of African American 
        teenagers report that lack of communication between a teenage 
        girl and her parents is frequently a reason a teenage girl has 
        a baby.
            (8) One study found that the likelihood of teens having sex 
        for the first time increased with the number of unsupervised 
        hours teens have during a week.
            (9) After-school programs reduce teen risky behavior by 
        involving teens in activities that provide alternatives to sex. 
        Teenage girls who play sports, for instance, are more likely to 
        delay sex and have fewer partners and less likely to become 
        pregnant.
            (10) After-school programs help prevent teen pregnancy by 
        advancing good decision-making skills and providing teens 
        health education and positive role models in a supervised 
        setting.
            (11) 8 in 10 girls and 6 in 10 boys report that they wish 
        they had waited until they were older to have sex.
