Sex education in the United States is often bad. States which either don't mandate sex ed, or which promote abstinence based education tend to have high rates of teen pregnancy.

But don't trust their word if you don't want to. Here is teen pregnancy rate by state. http://www.livescience.com/27417-teen-pregnancy-rates-by-sta...

Here is data on how sex education is handled in states. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_education_in_the_United_St...

Here is median household income (to control by). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_income

Go ahead and see if I'm wrong.

I don't understand. Girls are watching these shows, and this is raising their awareness of pregnancy?

Yes, that seems to be the essence of it. What's not to understand? Raising children is hard work. It's easy to romanticize it when you've never had to feed a screaming baby at 3am. Letting girls see the difficult side is evidently a great way to convince them they don't want to do that yet.
