MIAMI - The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Florida is releasing a guide to teach pregnant teenagers their legal options and rights.
"The Legal Guide for Pregnant Teens in Florida" includes information on legal aspects of abortion, adoption and raising children. Other topics include getting public assistance for housing, health insurance and how to get an immigration status change.
The project was modeled after a book written by a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which printed 30,000 copies.

Since then, according to a new reportfrom Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, contraceptive use by teens has declined while their sexual activity has remained unchanged. This is a worrisome shift — and it has bearing on the coming budget battle in Congress.
