MAY TEEM PREGNANCY PREVENTION MONTE: Chairman Haire read this
resolution and a MOTION was made by Commissioner Stewart to adopt

is the resolution adopted:
TEEM PREGNANCY PREVENTION MONTE
1995
WHEREAS, teenage pregnancy significantly affects the health,
economic and educational future of teenagers and cost our state
more than $458 million in 1991; and
WHEREAS, teenage parents are often unable to complete their
education, which later results in unemployment, underemployment and
dependence on public welfare. Teenage mothers often seek prenatal
care late, if at all, and therefore frequently suffer higher than
average levels of toxemia, anemia and cervical trauma. Their
babies are often born premature and with low birth weights; and
WHEREAS, the State of North Carolina and Iredell County are
committed to involving churches, businesses, media, parents,
agencies, educational institutions, policy makers, and health
providers in helping to prevent teenage pregnancy. The purpose of
the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Coalition of North Carolina and
the Iredell Council on Adolescent Health is to advocate and support
programs and strategies that prevent adolescent pregnancy and
decrease the problems associated with adolescent pregnancy in North
Carolina;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Iredell County Board of Commissioners
