teenage pregnancy (1)
Sometimes, I wonder why people like to link teenage pregnancy to abortion. Just like the article that I read on a newspaper. There was a photo of people demonstrating against legalizing abortion in a country, indeed the article was about teenage pregnancy.
The photo distracted our focus from the root cause of teenage pregnancy. Pictures speak. For those who like to read the header and pictures, most probably will link the header with pictures. What if, these people do not know the overall context of teenage pregnancy. Will they perceive these two issues as one cause of another? Especially when these two issues are generally perceived as sin and moral deterioration in Malaysia society.
Teenage pregnancy is pregnancy of young women and girls (10-24 years old). In Malaysia context, teenage pregnancy usually relates to pregnancy out of wedlock. Instead of emphasizing the marital status, I like it to be named as unintended pregnancy.
