JACKSON, MS (Mississippi News Now) -

About four out of ten of our nation's tiniest citizens came as a surprise to their parents.

A new study finds thirty-seven percent of pregnancies in the U-S are unintended.

About a quarter of women who are married had an unintended pregnancy compared to half of unmarried women living with the father and two-thirds of women not living with the father.
