Yes, in most cases, teenage abortions are better, especially for younger teenagers, for whom an abortion is much less of a health risk than a full term pregnancy.

It's not just the pregnant teenager who is at risk. Our cruel adoption laws pose significant psychological burdens on adoptive children who are effectively forbidden by law from even knowing their birth parents in most cases.

Better still is comprehensive sex education that prevents these tragedies from occurring. Expecting we could ever have 100% compliance with any sexual abstinence regimen is dangerously delusional. Our adolescents absolutely must be equipped to protect themselves, in every sense of the word.
