In a 2021 study published in <a href=\"https:\/\/smile.amazon.com\/Abortion-Mothering-Research-Artistic-Expressions-ebook\/dp\/B09MSKJSMG\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the pro-abortion book &#8220;Abortion and Mothering,&#8221;<\/a>\u00a0researcher Sarah Bekaert interviewed teens who had abortions and examined their reasons for aborting. In a second, older study, researchers Sharon Tabberer, Christine Hall, Shirley Prendergast, and Andrew Webster interviewed teens who became pregnant to determine the reasons they aborted or carried to term.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Two studies found teen fathers have a strong influence<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While both studies are from the United Kingdom, the results of each are likely generalizable to teen pregnancy and abortion in the United States.\u00a0The 2021 study revealed:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Whether negative or positive, the partner&#8217;s reaction to the pregnancy is significant across the young women&#8217;s accounts\u2026 The baby&#8217;s father was the first person they tell of their pregnancy, and across the stories, the young women&#8217;s decision about whether to abort or carry on was influenced by the partner&#8217;s feelings and reactions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>In this study, there are no examples of the young men deciding on the pregnancy outcome; however, their reactions were considered by the young women and influenced their decision.<sup>1<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The other study also found that many of the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pregnancy-teen-high-school-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">teens<\/a> who had abortions did so because of pressure placed on them by other people \u2013 either by their parents or the father of the baby. Two of the 11 teens who aborted said that they did so because the baby\u2019s father wanted them to.\u00a0The researchers wrote:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>[T]here was some question as to whether or not the choice was entirely [the girls\u2019] own, with some young women having overt pressure put upon them\u2026 Where the decision was identified by the young woman as not being her own, there was more regret shown, although still an appreciation that this might have been the best decision at the time.<sup>2<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The older study also found that when it comes to teen pregnancy, the \u201cResponse of boyfriend [was] especially important.\u201d<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pregnant teens had abortions because the baby&#8217;s father wanted them to<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Angelique was only 13 when she became pregnant.

Her boyfriend was initially excited about her pregnancy and seemed to want the baby. She decided to have her child. But as the pregnancy progressed, Carleen\u2019s boyfriend went from happy and supportive to hostile. \u201cFar into the pregnancy,\u201d he told her he wasn\u2019t ready to be a father and wouldn\u2019t give her any help once the baby was born.\u00a0Carleen said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Well, he wanted the baby at first.

Another teen who aborted recalled that her boyfriend said to her, \u201cwell go round to [the] doctor&#8217;s, sort it out.&#8221;<sup>7<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Researchers interviewed Lisa, another teen who had an abortion. She was asked if anyone gave her advice about her pregnancy, and she responded, \u201cWell, no, I wish they had done! I wish they&#8217;d said! The only person that was giving me advice was [the boyfriend] &#8216;Get rid of it!&#8217; &#8216;Get rid of it!'&#8221;<sup>8<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><strong>The baby&#8217;s father&#8217;s support leads to girls rejecting abortion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In contrast, two girls, one in each study, did not abort their babies because their boyfriends wanted the children and offered to help and support them. Teen mother Fiona recalled:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>So from the start we were going to get rid of the baby, but all the way through I&#8217;m thinking it&#8217;s my little baby, it were awful knowing you had a baby\u2026 [T]hey booked me in and they went through everything, and the worst thing was filling out the papers. I was on the edge of tears all the time.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>I wanted to try and not listen and get through it, and\u2026 he said &#8220;I love you, and have the baby please, don&#8217;t kill our baby, I&#8217;ll look after you and I&#8217;ll support you and we&#8217;ll get a house and all that,&#8221; and then I couldn&#8217;t do it.<sup>9<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Susannah wanted an abortion because she wanted to finish her education before starting a family. Taking care of a baby, she felt, would prevent her from graduating.<\/p>\n<p>She explained, \u201cI was at school. I wanted to finish school. He was okay with that, but he wasn&#8217;t happy with the idea of me having an abortion.&#8221;<sup>10<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Susannah\u2019s boyfriend offered to take care of the baby while she was attending classes. This convinced her to have the baby. She said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>[I]t was just deciding whether or not we should go through with it\u2026 We decided that\u2026once I&#8217;ve had the baby, he&#8217;ll stay at home with the baby full time while I&#8217;m at school, and then I would have the baby in the evening.<sup>11<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n<p>In these two cases, the support of the baby&#8217;s father in a teen pregnancy made a life-saving difference.<\/p>\n<p>These two studies show that teen fathers have an enormous influence on young girls\u2019 abortion decisions. Their reaction can mean life or death for the babies they father.<\/p>\n<p>The pro-life movement needs to reach out to young men and convince them that preborn babies\u2019 lives are valuable and that taking responsibility for the children they father is the right thing to do. When teen fathers support their pregnant partners and encourage them to choose life, it can make a profound, life-saving difference.<\/p>\n<h6>1.
