Teen birth rate reaches all-time low with the steepest drop among minorities, CDC says.

The teenage birthrate has reached an all-time low. During the last 25 years the teen birthrate has plummeted from 62 births per one thousand teenage women to 24 per thousand, according to a report released this week by the CDC. The organization’s director of reproductive health, Dr. Wanda Barfield, joins NewsHour Weekend to discuss the findings.
