biological effects of age. Risks of low birth weight,
premature labor, anemia, and pre-eclampsia are
connected to biological age being observed in teen
births even after controlling for other risk factors
(such as accessing prenatal care, etc.).

oftentimes causes teenage mother to do
abortion. An abortion is an intentional
procedure to end a pregnancy. It uses
medicine or surgery to remove the fetus
and placenta from the uterus. In other
words, it results to the intentional killing
of an innocent child because of your
reckless actions.
