Reading the paper, by "Fertility" the author really means "rate of pregnancy" which seems kinda like a different thing.

Basically, access to the Internet is correlated with less teenage pregnancy. Idiocracy in motion...

More affluent kids normally have lower teen pregnancy rates, not sure why people are trying to force this correlation. Second time I've seen it brought up this week.
