Rule Statement: The state of Zena concluded after many studies that marketing for the day after pills lead to an increase in teenage pregnancies and in turn an increase in state spending in parental care, and birth control-related public services in the state’s budget. They then decided to ban outdoor advertising for the day after pills. Throughout the study, the state also noticed negative growth in employment in the 15-20 age group by 25% over the last 10 years and a decrease of 10% in age groups 20-30 years old. In turn teen pregnancy and teen, populations had increased over this time due to poor timing of actually using the day after pills proving them ineffective. A different independent study concluded that the population of females had decreased in college enrollment and graduation rates from high school, GED programs, Junior College, and State college enrollments. Advocates of teen pregnancy challenged the state of Zena to change its legislation.
