High Cost of Teen Pregnancy

Air date 09/13/11

Teen Pregnancy is an issue Mississippians face more often than those in other states. It is difficult for families, not to mention the young mothers and their children. Another side of the Teen Pregnancy conversation is the financial burden to society. Joining us to talk about the high cost of teen pregnancy are Jamie Holcomb of the Women's Fund of Mississippi, and Sarah Welker of the Mississippi Economic Policy Center, who explains how the MEPC determined what teen pregnancy actually costs.
