You’ll note that I quoted a bit more. That was for a reason: the part I took issue with was the “it’s not because of…”
So it would track based off this information that includes 13 year olds that it is similar for 12 year olds.
Perhaps, but it might not be. Those 13-year-olds are mixed in with 19-year-olds, whose circumstances are likely far different.
And I stand by my statement that most pregnant 12 year olds are victims.
You keep restating this as if anyone disagreed with you. I explicitly agreed in the comment to which you’re replying.
I don’t care for this pedantic, know-it-all type of debates on these topics. We’re talking about pregnant 12 year olds.
And you’re citing data as if it were much more applicable than it is. Data for 12-year-olds is likely worse, no one is denying that, but it’s still a weak argument to cite data that doesn’t include the age group in question, does include age groups with far different circumstances, and is from a time when the two phenomena in question (violent sex crimes and teenage pregnancy) were two and four times higher respectively.

Then why even attempt to supply evidence to the debate if you’re going to dismiss critiques of it later?
This is the point of research, and the thing is the ‘know-it-all’ type of debate ais all a result from your original statement. This isn’t about 12 year olds but the inherent logic within arguments.
