It's a scene hard to forget: a 16-year-old girl early in an unplanned pregnancy, alone and leaning up against a junky trailer somewhere in west Texas. Has anyone sadder looking been on television recently than Becky Sproles in last week's episode of Friday Night Lights?

The IUD, As Seen on TV!

- Sex and Media Team

Alicia Florrick is so much more than The Good Wife (Tuesdays, 10p, on CBS). She’s a good mom, a good lawyer, a good dresser, smart, calm, and cool. She was hit broadside by allegations (and admissions) that her husband was sleeping with prostitutes and taking bribes in his post as state’s attorney and she’s picking up the pieces of her life, her family and her career.

Teen Mom, 20s Dad

- Lauren Mann

MTV’s Teen Mom has followed four of the original 16 & Pregnant girls during their first year as mothers, welcoming an eager audience into their lives to witness the challenges they face as young parents. We’ve seen sacrifices on the part of the girls--from earning a high school diploma to attending college to having a social life--as well as the impact that having a child has had on their relationships with friends and family. But those girls don’t get pregnant on their own; what about the dads?

THE FOG ZONE

It's been several months since we released our "Fog Zone" report about the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of unmarried young men and women (ages 18-29) regarding pregnancy planning, contraception, and relationships. Responses to the findings have been coming in since. (Did we mention that they inspired us to create a website?) A few of our favorite responses (besides our website, of course):

"Baby lust: Not just for the ladies" (Salon: Broadsheet)

"Rubber Barons: Why Doesn’t Your Boyfriend Know Jack About Contraception?" (Washington City Paper, The Sexist)

"The Birth-Control Riddle" (The Wall Street Journal)

"The Pill at 50: Sex, Freedom and Paradox" (TIME)

"Sex and risk among people in their 20s" (Los Angeles Times)

Wanna cut straight to the chase? You can download the report itself, and/or get more information about the study on The National Campaign's website.
