On the hand, red states lead in teen births and divorces.

Again, great lie.  Almost twice the percentage of people are married in red states than in blue state.  Therefore, the slight raw numerical advantage that red states have over blue when it comes to divorce is meaningless and, on the whole, more people are in stable marriages in the red states than the blue.

It's a bit old, 1994, but according to a study by the National Center for Health Statistics, that's not true.
bold are red states.
