Abortion

Teenagers who become mothers have grim prospects for the future. They are much more likely to leave of school; receive inadequate prenatal care; rely on public assistance to raise a child; develop health problems; or end up divorced.

There are so many options for teenagers who become mothers. It is not a proven fact that teenagers who become mothers have grim prospects for their futures. There are alternative schools they can go to. Just because they are a teenage mother doesn't mean that they will receive inadequate prenatal care because that is generalizing that all teenage girls that get pregnant are poor or don't have insurance. Again, saying that they will rely on public assistance to raise a child also generalizes that all teenage girls that get pregnant are poor. If teenage girls that are pregnant develop health problems then wouldn't all pregnant women develop health problems. Also, having children as a teenage doesn't mean you are going to get divorced. I think that if teenagers get married because they got pregnant then maybe they will have a greater risk or getting divorced but maybe they should have thought of that before they went and had sex. Also, just because they got pregnant as a teenager doesn't necessarily mean they are going to get married.
