Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Teen Pregnancy Pre-
vention, Responsibility, and Opportunity Act of 2005’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds as follows:
(1) The United States has the highest teen- 
pregnancy rate and teen birth rate in the western in-
dustrialized world, costing the United States at least 
$7 billion annually. 
(2) About one out of three of all young women 
in America become pregnant before they reach 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 like-
lihood 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 eco-
nomical, 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 ac-
tive at a later age. Seven out of ten teens say that 
they are prepared to listen to things parents thought 
they were not ready to hear.
