A Health Surveillance Update on Canadian Children and Youth Teen Pregnancy Babies of teenage mothers are at increased risk of preterm birth, low birth weight and death during infancy. Teen pregnancy is considered a major public health problem in many countries. Teenage mothers are less likely to complete their education and are more likely to have limited career and economic opportunities. Furthermore, their babies are at increased risk of preterm birth, low birth weight and death during infancy. The teen pregnancy rate is the number of pregnancies occurring per 1,000 teenage females per year. The number of pregnancies consists of the number of live births, stillbirths and abortions. However, the 1996 data presented here and the international comparisons include only the number of live births in the numerator. In Canada in 1996, there were a total of 21,597 live births to mothers aged 15-19 years for a rate of 22.1 per 1,000. In addition, there were 227 babies born to mothers aged 10-14 years. Over the past two decades, there has been a decline in the live birth rate for teens aged 15-19 years, from 35.6 per 1,000 in 1974 to 22.1 per 1,000 in 1996. During this same period, the number of induced abortions in this age group has increased and may partly explain the observed decline in the number of live births.

Still, each year nearly one million American teenage women become pregnant. Four out of ten American teenage women become pregnant before the age of 20. The teen pregnancy rate for women under 20 increased significantly since the early 1970s, reaching a high of 118 in 1990. At the same time, the outcome of teenage pregnancies has changed. Sixty-three percent of pregnant teenagers gave birth and 22 percent had abortions in 1995 compared to 1983 data which shows that 47 percent of teenagers gave birth and 43 percent had abortions. Fewer than 10 percent of teenagers who delivered babies chose adoption in 1995. By 1997, more than 500,000 births occurred to women under the age of 20. Between 1995 and 2010, the number of girls aged 15-19 will increase by 2.2 million. If current fertility rates remain the same, we will see a 26 percent increase in the number of pregnancies and births among teenagers.

When does the brain begin to function? Electrical brain waves have been recorded as early as forty days. Currently, twenty weeks is considered the accepted minimum. However, this time will be reduced as medical technology continues to improve. What about cases of rape and incest? Pregnancy from rape is extremely rare. A study of one thousand rape victims who were treated after the rape reported no pregnancies. There are no known studies of incest cases. Medically, we know pregnancy in these cases would be rare. As reasons for legalizing abortion rape and incest are nothing more than emotional screens used by those profiting from abortion. But what about the child with disease who will die a slow death or live his life as a burden to his family? What about the population boom? We can hardly feed the people of the world now! True, the population of the world is growing, but population is not a problem in the United States. The U.S. death rate is now greater than the birth rate and our present population is growing older.

In briefings Thursday for House offices and today for Senate staffers, the California Wellness Foundation, which runs a statewide teen pregnancy initiative, said the state's teen birth rate had dropped from 11th highest in the country in 1991 to 21st place in 2002.

The United States has the highest rates of teen pregnancy and births in the western industrialized world. Teen pregnancy costs the United States at least $7 billion annually. More than 4 out of 10 young women become pregnant at least once before they reach the age of 20—nearly one million a year. Eight in ten of these pregnancies are unintended and 80 percent are to unmarried teens National Center for Health Statistics The younger a sexually experienced teenaged girl is, the more likely she is to have had unwanted or non-voluntary sex. Close to four in ten girls who had first intercourse at 13 or 14 report it was either non-voluntary or unwanted. Who suffers the consequences? Teen mothers are less likely to complete high school, (only one-third receive a high school diploma) and more likely to end up on welfare (nearly 80 percent of unmarried teen mothers end up on welfare).

HOME PREGNANCY PRODUCTS ABOUT US ... SPANISH-ESPAÑOL Teen Pregnancy Articles Archive Monthly article Teenage Pregnancy. Highlights: An ERIC/CAPS Fact Sheet by Laurie L. Lachance Teenage parenthood is by no means a new social phenomenon. Historically, women have tended to begin childbearing during their teens and early twenties. During the past two decades the U. S. teenage birthrate has actually declined (Polit and others, 1982). In the late 1950s, 90 out of 1000 women under 20 gave birth as compared with 52 out of 1000 in 1978. Several factors contribute to the current attention focused on teenage pregnancy and parenthood. There is currently a large number of young women in the 13 to 19 age range, so that while the birthrates are declining, the absolute number of teenagers is increasing. These statistics do not distinguish between intentional and unintentional pregnancies, or pregnancies occurring in or out of wedlock. From the 1978 figures, only one in six pregnancies concluded as births following marriage, and eight in ten premarital teenage pregnancies were unintended. The declining birthrate is not consistent for all teenagers: among those 14 or younger, the birthrate is increasing.
