As of 2006, the pregnancy rate among U.S. teenage women, aged 15-19 years, was 71.5 pregnancies per 1,000 teenage women, or 7.15%. 2008 data from the CDC indicates a slight drop in the birth rate among women in this age group in the U.S. during the two years in between, suggesting that the pregnancy rate might be down slightly over that same period, too, unless the abortion or miscarriage rates (or both) have risen by offsetting amounts.
Data for the percentage of pregnant women who are teenagers, on the other hand, is harder to come by, it seems. The closest statistic I can find is the percentage of ALL BIRTHS to women under 20. In 2008, that number was around 10% for the U.S., as a national average. The percentage of ALL PREGNANCIES to women under 20 is likely a bit higher, but how much higher depends on rates of abortion and miscarriage from the same year.
