Debate on abortion
The document summarizes the debate on abortion between pro-choice and pro-life perspectives. It discusses key arguments from both sides, such as whether the fetus has a right to life and whether a woman has a right to terminate her pregnancy. It also outlines global scenarios on the legal status and incidence of abortion, as well as perspectives, philosophical considerations, and religious views from those who are pro-life and pro-choice.
The facts of abortion
Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy, whether by choice or accident. Abortion is legal in many countries including the United States, but illegal in others. Half of women who get abortions are under 25, and 60% have never been married. Getting an abortion can be a difficult decision that may lead to emotional trauma. Reasons for abortion include rape, health concerns for the mother or baby, and social or personal issues. While abortion may be traumatic, childbirth could also be physically and mentally challenging. Some risks of abortion include guilt, complications, and psychological issues. Adoption is an alternative that allows the baby's right to life.

Abortion
Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy through removal of the fetus or embryo from the uterus, which can be done chemically or surgically. It is a controversial issue due to differing ethical, social, and religious views on when life begins. Laws around abortion vary globally - some countries ban it while others allow it under certain circumstances. The main debate revolves around whether abortion is equivalent to killing an unwanted baby, as some believe, or not a human yet since it is still a fetus, as others believe. Most major religions view abortion as wrong except to save the mother's life.

Gender perspectives of reproductive health
Gender is a social construct that defines the roles and behaviors of men and women within a society. It influences reproductive health through gender differences, inequalities, and inequities in health status and access to care between men and women. Addressing gender is important for designing reproductive health programs and achieving goals like reducing maternal mortality.

Teen Pregnancy (Presentation #2)
Teen pregnancy is defined as pregnancy in females under the age of 20. In 2013, over 273,000 babies were born to mothers aged 15-19 in the United States. Younger teens who begin having sex before age 13 are more likely to engage in involuntary sex or have older partners, increasing the risks of unprotected sex. Teen mothers and their babies face higher medical risks, such as premature birth, low birth weight, disabilities, and even death of the baby within the first year. Prevention efforts focus on abstinence, open communication between parents and teens, and education about safe sex and birth control if teens become sexually active.
