While I follow your general point, I think the situations are a bit different.
Unlike the Kansasan (Kansasanian?) example, here I think it's less of a leap to assume that significantly more unintended pregnancies, and their attendant costs, were either a neutral or beneficial byproduct of the legislature's goals of, ah, preventing teen sex.
