Australia seems to be mid-high in terms of teenage pregnancies, not great, not too bad; this is the latest (2010 report) I could find:
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/718713: Australia has a relatively high teenage pregnancy rate among western countries at 19.8 births per 1,000 women aged 15–19 years.[1,2] Of 30 OECD countries, Australia ranks 11th highest in teenage birth rate.[3]
Well, with me being gay and always having lived in relatively large to huge cities, I'd be damned if I skip on protection even for some relationship that seems alright but still unproven. On the other hand my bf's sister said once that the pill makes her feel bloated and irritable, so she too relies on condoms (and of course the pill does nothing for STDs). Religion wouldn't be an issue for her if it comes to an abortion, but while I haven't researched abortions too closely, I'm pretty sure they aren't a pleasant walk in the park.
