Did You Know? Nearly, two-thirds of all babies born to Colorado teen mothers between the ages of 15-17 were to Latina girls. And the rate since 2001 is climbing. Most troubling is the fertility rate of 13 to 14-year-old Latina adolescents is double that of any other race/ethnicity group and significantly higher in all other age groups.
