Pros And Cons Of Teen Pregnancy

Additionally, Abortion gives teens the option to finish school so that after high school they will be able to take care of a child if they decide to have children. Some teens may not be able to financially take care of a child. In an article by (Linda Lowen 2017) she states, "In comparison, teens who choose abortion are more successful in school and are more likely to graduate and pursue higher education." Allowing teens to have abortions is giving them the option to save their child from the suffering of them not being able to provide for them because of their young age. For example, a mother might kill her wounded child rather than to allow it to limp along miserably, so the mother wishes to

If you are pregnant and still in high school, college, or unemployed the thought of having a child is scary. Thoughts of how you would be able to manage your pregnancy and still take care of your responsibilities will go through your head. No child should be brought into this world and not be taking care of. A federal study has been found that 22,000 babies after left in a hospital every year because parents are unable to take care of them. “A survey taken in September of 2005 on peer-reviewed journal Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health asking women why they would have an abortion studies found that 73% of participants said they could not afford to have a baby, and 38% claimed giving birth would interfere with their education and career

To begin with, there has always been a huge issue with the topic of abortion, why? Well, it’s a tough subject and can get extremely emotional and very defensive. Honestly, people just need to open up their eye’s and understand that it's murder and not just a choice. It is murder because two can create a blessing and the choice of aborting it, is more like a sacrifice for the reason a mother can’t carry a baby for nine months. Whether a person is a teen, young adult, or an adult and is in a horrible situation that believes they cannot proceed with the pregnancy, they should know there are other options. Teens aborting an unborn baby is not a choice and should be banned because it is wrong without parental consent, the rights of a child, and

With more and more people veering away from traditional ways, which was saving their virginity for marriage, teenage pregnancy is a serious topic, and abortion needs to be thought about. On teenhelp.com, there are a lot of statistics about teenage pregnancy. About 2.65% of girls ages 15-19 gave birth in 2013. Of these teenage pregnancies, 77% were accidental. Not being married was popular among these teenagers, as 89% of them weren’t (Teen Pregnancy Statistics, 2015). With teenagers having babies, you have to wonder, who is going to have to pay for the kid if the teenager isn 't well off. It was estimated that about 9.4 billion tax dollars were spent on teenage pregnancy and childbirth (Teen Pregnancy Statistics, 2015). That is a huge amount of money to be spending.

I believe that if you are a minor you should have the choice to get an abortion. I believe this because when you are a minor and are pregnant you should have a choice to get one because you still have school and things like that. Also you could have friends to hangout with but your gonna have a baby. If you have a baby how will you afford things for it. Also if you have it and you go to school what are you going to do with your baby. Also you’re gonna have to get a job so you can buy your baby stuff. If you have a baby you most likely will have no freetime. Also how would you take the baby places. I just think that its a bad idea.

Further elaborating on this argument, in addition to rape victims, abortion may be a huge stress relief for those women who are dealing with poverty, financial difficulties and emotional immaturity. Nearly 750,000 teens get pregnant each year, and most these women are still in high school (Dosomething.org). The shame of being a teen mother, the

In the average year, around 750,000 American teenagers become pregnant in a year. Of those, around 350,000 of them get abortions (Family Planning Plus, 2010). Without abortions, those 350,000 teenagers would have no choice and have to have the baby or they would try to abort the baby in their own way. If they were forced to try to take care of the baby on their own they could be put in financial stress. If they tried to abort the baby on their own they could hurt, or even kill themselves. Abortions allow teenagers to escape a reality that they are not ready for. They also prevent teenagers from hurting themselves in an attempt to get rid of the fetus themselves. Because abortions are legal, teenagers can get medical help and knowledge on how to move forward from a teen pregnancy.

There is no question that teen pregnancy is a worldwide issue in today’s society. Every year thousands of young, unprepared teenage girls face the decision whether to become a mother or to give their baby up for adoption for a better life. Some mothers choose to give their baby up because they feel as if they could not give the baby what is needed to have a good life. If you have ever heard of the show “16 and Pregnant” both sides of the situation have happened. Some girls on the show choose to be a mother and others choose to give their baby up for adoption, because they feel it is what is best for their child. The big question is

24 percent of women having abortions are unmarried teenagers. Pregnancy can be a scary and extremely stressful time in a women?s life. To force a woman who is not ready for a child to go through with the birth is not the answer. Stress is not good for the fetus at all, and could lead to complications in the pregnancy, or even a miscarriage. People also seem to forget about a women?s mental health in these situations. A woman could be haunted for her lifetime of giving birth to an unborn child.

For many the arrival of a new child would one of lifes many joys and pleasure. But for many teenagers they are still children themselves so to have a child raise another child would not make any sense. They are making up the majority of abortion rates and use of the morning after pill. If you factor in the fact they say they were too young to see the mistakes they were making while at the same time they have the right to get abortion something just doesn’t add up. If teens are not being held accountable for their actions then they will simply do it again. I have a first hand knowledge of this my cousin had her first child at 15. She then had two other children and had many abortions within 3 - 5 years. This is

I believe abortion is wrong when used for narcissistic reasons. There are many other things you can do to prevent abortion. There are reasons why I don't support it. You can use adoption as a solution, it can harm the mother as well, and you are a taking an innocent life. Teenagers can rise awareness and either speak or show how strongly they believe about this topic. Abortion should not be

To begin with, there has always been an extensive issue with the topic of abortion, why? Well, it’s a tough subject and can get extremely emotional and very defensive. Honestly, people just need to open up their eye’s and understand that it's murder and not just a choice. It is murder because two can create a blessing and the choice of aborting it, is more like a sacrifice for the reason a mother can’t carry a baby for nine months. Whether a person is a minor, young adult, or an adult and is in a awful situation that believes they cannot proceed with the pregnancy, they should know there are other opportunities. Teens aborting an unborn baby is not a choice and should be banned because it is wrong without parental consent, the rights of

One of a few reasons that having a choice can cause issues is the age of consent, the age of consent varies from state to state, many schools and places of education don’t offer education on sexual health and ages of consent, which leaves the decision up to the teenager. Leaving the decision up to the mother of the baby can cause problems- if an individual has decided to be sexually active that should mean that they have come to terms with potential consequences such as potential pregnancy and std’s, but since many teenagers are uneducated they don’t know exactly what could happen, Say a teenage girl was not educated but still made the decision to be sexually active and is now paying the consequences, she’s pregnant and has very little background education on what can happen if she keeps of if she aborts the baby. If she decides to keep the baby she may not have the ability support the baby financially. Planned parenthood centers offer help, but if abortions become obsolete then planned parenthood centers will become few and far between- making it harder to get help many people need and increasing the frequency of unsafe abortions. Especially in the case of minors looking for abortions, in states that do not require parental consent or parental notification of the abortion the individual may not tell their guardian which may result in financial problems and unsafe

Women should be given the right to abortion so that women do not feel trapped. In the society that we live in today women go to college and have jobs but men will still get hired over women due to the fact that a women can get pregnant. Most work places are not flexible when it comes to the child and the mom wanting to spend most of their time together for the first couple of years and they are also not flexible with a child’s school schedule. The improvement of the work force in this area would make it so that women do not need the option of abortion. It is also the fault of society that teenage moms cannot participate in college or perhaps medical school. For instance if one has graduated from college but wants to get into medical school

Like Amy and Loeber (2009), when it comes to the ecological paradigm of teenage pregnancy, Corcoran, Franklin, and Bennett (2000) also believe one’s socioeconomic status is a huge factor that contributes to this problem. A person’s socioeconomic status a lot of times determines “education, expanded family size, single-parent household structure, and lessened resources in terms of employment and income.” These three authors claim that educational performance and goals “dictate the potential costs of child bearing at a young age.” Their studies have also shown that teenage girls’ relationships with the school setting and poorer performance in school serve a greater risk for adolescent pregnancy.
