I'd be curious to see what happens when you control for race. Anyone know?
Having looked at the map of state-by-state distribution... the title might well pass to Kentucky.

Nationwide...

birth rates for 10-14 year olds, 15-17 year olds, 18-19 year olds by race...

Anglo 0.2, 11.8, 49.3
Black 1.6, 36.2, 108.4
Hispanic 1.3, 47.9, 139.7

Asian rates are slightly lower than Anglo, Native American rates are slightly lower than Black.

There isn't a birth rate by race by state table provided in the report Angry although there is a total births by race by state table that you could probably construct something out of by comparing with race data for the relevant age group.
