Current Kentucky Statistics: PREGNANCY RATES: The state of Kentucky as of the year 2000 is ranked 25th by rates of pregnancy according to The Alan Guttmacher Institute. These rates (per 1,000 women) by age and group are: Age 15-19: 78, Age 15-17: 41, and Age 18-19: 124. CONTRACEPTIVE USE: Over 50% of unintended pregnancies occur to women who are using contraceptives during the month they become pregnant. But because the risk of unintended pregnancy in the absence of contraception is so great, 47% of unintended pregnancies occur to the very small percentage (7%) of women who are at risk but who are not using a contraceptive at all.
