Teenage Abortions

Abortion has taken the lives of more than 50 million babies since 1973 (“About Abortion”). The issue of abortion is one of the most common controversial issues in American politics and culture. In modern society, many women that have an unintended pregnancy and they result to abortion without researching other options. Abortion is not a substitute for birth control and this issue should be taken seriously. The individual woman needs to understand that by agreeing to have an abortion she is agreeing to kill an innocent fetus. Abortion rips the unborn child from his or hers right to life. Society needs to let women see through the eyes of the fetus and find alternative ways to raise the baby. Abortion should be

Teens should be able to get an abortion without parental consent because balancing school and taking care of a baby can be very challenging. According to the article”Tell parents of abortions”, the author states "Schools that support teenage girls through abortion only provide support during school hours. Who is supporting the girls after school?” (Hill). This evidence proves that not only can it be challenging to go to school and taking care of a child but the support systems for teen parents are

The ongoing dispute of abortion has condemned the idea of women aborting their unborn child. Whether it be lack of support, critical physical or mental health, rape, or not being ready for such responsibility - all women have a reason for having an abortion. Therefore, women should have the free will to do what proves necessary and beneficial to themselves and their pregnancy.

The purpose of this essay is to set out an argument that abortion is wrong. Some claim that only in “rare” instances, such as rape or within a few days of contraception, abortion is acceptable. I will agree that there are certain circumstances that abortion is more “acceptable” than other times, albeit however few and far between these instances arise. Instances that make abortion more “okay” are rape, and once it is discovered that the mother's life is in danger if she were to carry the baby the full term of the pregnancy. The basis for my argument comes from reading two opposing essays on abortion , in regards to whether it is “right” or wrong, “A defense of Abortion” by Judith

There is a concern among many, that it is not the woman’s decision to terminate the life of their unborn child. Fetuses are advocated for because decision making is out of their control. One of the main arguments is that the unborn child will not have the opportunity to live the life it deserves and because of that, women that go through the process of abortion will regret their decision. This is understandable, because it is a difficult option to pursue, not health-wise, but emotionally a devastation for some. Along

Summary: This article goes on to explain the major problems of teenage pregnancy. Around the world 11 per cent of births are giving from women who are just 15 to 19 years of age. 95 per cent of these is in developing countries. Teenagers are more at risk of dying during labor. When an adolescent gives birth to a baby the fact that they are still teens gives them less of a chance of surviving labor. They are more at risk of dying during birth than an adult would be. Teenage pregnancy is more common in less developed countries.

Less than point five percent of the reasons given by women for abortions are rape. Fetal and physical health complications add up seven percent, another seven percent do not feel they are mature enough to have a child. While health impediments are troubling, women that, by definition, feel unduly immature should stay obstinate in order to avoid such circumstances. Four percent believes that an infant would interfere with their career or education, twenty-three out of each hundred gave the grounds of not being able to afford the expenses of raising a child and twenty-five percent stated they were not ready for a child, another nineteen percent are done having children, eight percent do not want to be a single mother, the last six have no reason. Overall ninety-five per hundreds of abortions can be prevented by being obstinate or having a tubal ligation. Under what premise is it logical to become pregnant followed by an abortion, when from the start you knew you did not want any

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.

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.

The most common reason for abortion has to do with the lack of responsibility in the teen. It's usually the parent who tells the teen that they don't have the responsibility of do it, leading to aborting. The teen most likely will not have a job due to being 15 to 17. This means that the parent can't buy the necessities for the baby. Things like milk and baby food are off limits. They may also live with their mother or other guardian. The baby may cause disruptions

The United States has been recognized as the country with the highest rate of teen pregnancy and abortions for many years. Although a baby is seen as a beautiful blessing, teenage pregnancy has many negative effects, such as lack of financial & emotional stability, delayed education, unemployment, poverty, and even worse increased risk for medical complications. Teenage pregnancy and abortions have been in decline over the years due to increased knowledge about sexual health, use of contraceptives, and abstinence.

Pregnancies in adolescents are caused by the practice of sexual intercourse without contraceptive methods and by lack of sexual information. According to the organization Save the Children each year are born 13 million children of women under the age of 20 throughout the world, more than 90% in the so-called developing countries and in the developed countries the remaining 10%.

The first problem that has been caused from teenage pregnancy is a higher birthrate than death rate. This is a major problem, because if the death rate is lower than the number of babies being born per year, then we will eventually become overcrowded. If the United States becomes overcrowded, then we will need to expand schools, and houses. An article from the Teen Birth Rate Company reports, "Between 1991 and 2016, the teen birth rate increased by an impressive 67% nationwide." This quote shows that the United States will soon become overcrowded. The second problem that has been caused because of teenage pregnancy is that there have been many high school dropouts and having a baby makes it harder to attend college. If you are a teen and have a child, you are already in debt because of student

Teen pregnancy can be a very difficult situation at times. For example, and I quote what a young girl tells about what she went through. This young girl thought she was in love. She was dating the cutest guys in the school and often wondered why he would be dating an average girl like herself. He said he loved her. This girl had been having sexual intercourse since she was fourteen years old. She slept with this guy and before you know it, she ended up pregnant. What was this young girl to do? The family pressures pushed the girl to have an abortion. Time went by and she met another guy. She talks about how this guy was her "first true love." She has sexual intercourse with this guy and before you know it, she is pregnant again.
