Maranda Corely, 19, with her children in Ellisville, Miss. As of 2019, the teen pregnancy rate in the U.S. was 16.7 per 1,000 girls, ages 15-19. Experts predict at least 7,000 more teens in the U.S. will be forced into parenthood because they were not able to obtain a legal abortion following the overturning ofRoe v. Wade, documents an estimated 10,000 fewer abortions in just the first two months after the ruling.
For a teen, being denied an abortion isn’t just a bump in the road; it forces them onto a lifelong path they didn’t choose. Pregnant people who are denied an abortion are to go on to live in poverty with their children and struggle to pay for basic expenses like food and housing.
Awful!
Dreadful!

Yes, because this iteration of the GOP thinks that teenagers are too young to decide if they want to be a parent, but not too young to actually be a parent.
