is there a solutions for teen abortion?

A long term solution to reducing teenage abortions (and regardless of how one feels about the legality of abortion, I think everyone agrees there should be fewer abortions) must involve a reduction in the number of teenage pregnancies.  And a big part of that is to rethink practices and policies, like certain welfare rules, or our biased family court system, that force fathers out of their children's lives.  Girls with fathers involved in their lives are far less likely to get pregnant as teenagers.

Only three things are going to work:\n1. Eliminate alcohol and tobacco. Ain't gonna happen.\n2. Constant monitoring of teenagers. Very expensive.\n3. Explain the consequences of smoking and drinking to them, without lying. This will not have a 100 percent effectiveness rate, because many teenagers feel they are old enough to make these decisions without the info.

i don't agree. every child should be a wanted child. it should have two parents who can love and provide for it. done early enough, an abortion is the most sensible and ethical thing to do.

Leaves the decision to the states, like the 10th amendment required in the first place.\n\nNow let's get it right with abortion.  Then we can move on.

Well lets see abortion was illegal and women still had them. Drugs are illegal and people still do them.Kids arent suppose to smoke or drink but they still do. So telling teenagers not to have sex and make babies will not work.

None, it is legal in all 50 states.  For more information on abortion, see http://Abort73.com

Actually, abortion is a safer option for the woman's health than is pregnancy, especially if she's a teenager. Any licensed provider or Planned Parenthood affiliate can provide you with a safe abortion. There is also mifepristone, or RU486, a chemical means of inducing abortion.\n\nWhatever you do about your abortion, do it safely! Do not try to do it yourself at home! Countless women died before the era of safe, legal abortion; don't be a statistic.

It's a hard topic, as the abortion, because you have the whole picture, there's people who can actually be cured or get to improve their lives, but there's the risk: the humanity never stops when they wanna control the things..if we can make a better human race, what will stop us?\nno moral concept stopped the bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Wow! Myself, I don't know how should I react with that situation, but surelly what should I DO. But anyway, let me tell you what my SISTER DID.\n\nBut first, I think that when you have sex with someone, you must be ready for its consequences. If you are not ready for receiving and dealing with whatever news come after the sex act about a disease, and a non planned child, DON'T HAVE SEX, PERIOD!\n\nMy sister got pregnant, she planned this child with her husband. Well, at her 5th or 6th month of pregnancy, doctors discovered that my nephew had SEVERAL strange/big problems, which between them was deformation, problems in his vital organs (stomach, liver, lungs, pancreas), and other brain/mental syndromes. Two doctors told my sister to ABORT, they offered her to make it for free also. But she doesn't agreed.\n\nWell, we believe in God and we placed all in His hands. People around the world also helped us to pray, and today, my nephew is 4 years old, he is AWESOMELY SMART, and he has no problem at all. But yes, God let on His body a mark of was He did with him, and is that all his internal organs are twisted horizontally (all what should be in the right side are in the left, and vice verse).\n\nSo, a person that decides to abort or not to take care about his child, doesn't deserve to even have a chance to live (THE SAME DECISION THAT HE/SHE WANTS TO TAKE: KILL [ABORT]). It is not easy, but if you get focused, and commit in love, your life will be great and honorable!

If I were you, I will just ask her! And don't be scared about her response, she should be happy that there is one who cares about future and is responsible! \nI know it is hard to talk about such things, but believe me, you both feel better after that!\nBe careful, it is better to use a condom instead of being a future father! Abortion is not a simple thing for a girl.

Prevention is the only way that I see as a real solution. \nIt starts with raising your children to respect others and treat everyone as equal. Equally deserving what life has to offer.\n\nIt has to start with the parents. I am sure there are other ideas but all those are remedial.

Yes, unwanted pregnancies will decrease dramatically. Abortion is almost the preferred method of birth control these days. Women should be more responsible for their actions. After all, it's not just their life they're deciding about.

Go to local newspapers.  Perhaps you can get them to publish your story .  You'd be amazed how the public responds to appeals made by young mothers who need help.  Good luck.

There is some truth in what you say. The rabid feminists (most of who strike me as lesbians anyway) always chant, "it's a woman's right to chose." The abortion issue can be solved in another phrase: "if you don't want to get pregnant, don't have sex."

The problem is that you wil never, ever get rid of abortions. The smarter thing to do would be to reduce the need for it.\n\nThat would require a comprehensive sex education program and a change in attitudes towards women.\n\nWomen are not meant to function as a brood mare for the state.\n\nhere's another point: if you're pre-born, we'll do whatever it takes. If you're pre-school, you're screwed.\n\nNo Headstart, no neonatal health care, no affordable day care programs.\n\nIf a fetus is so important, get one to wash the shite stains out of your underpants!

They can't.  A desperate person will resort to desperate- and dangerous methods.  How many women died from botched abortions done by amateurs, or even by themselves?  Is it worth it to have a law that protects a clump of cells, yet endangers a fully formed, living and realized person?  If Roe v. Wade is overturned, women will have no other choice than to go back to the coat hangers, and knitting needles, and whatever else was used in those unsafe, risky techniques.  History has shown that making abortion illegal will NOT stop women from having them, will NOT control the number of unwanted pregnancies, and will NOT make this country a better place.

Its called responsibility and no one teaches that any more. Why bother with birth control when there is an abortion clinic on every corner and no parent's signature is required. But need an emergency appendectomy and they'll let you die on the table if a parent can't sign for it. It sickens me to see 12 year old girls on here wondering if they are pregnant. Who's at home with these kids? Don't parents teach morals and responsibility anymore? Sorry, but a major pet peeve of mine. Particularly now that I am raising a daughter. Frankly, I am terrified of what is in her future.
