Pregnant 16 year olds perhaps make up a tiny percentage of parents, but so do single sex couples. And yeah, the contraception bit applies to the boy too, but he's not the one who's going to get pregnant and then have to care for the kid for the rest of his life. Surely every female knows that and if they are smart should take even more responsibility. Obviously I was generalising, but I see plenty of them pushing pushchairs around, fag hanging out of their gob, muffin tops hanging over their jeans and absolutely nothing to offer a child. Personally I think everyone should have to apply for a licence before they're allowed to breed.
