Approximately 90% of births to 15-19 year olds in developing countries occur within child marriages. Pregnancy during adolescence also risks complications due to immature bodies. Plan International supports girls' awareness of their sexual and reproductive health and rights, protecting them from abuse, and connecting them with education and healthcare services. Restrictive abortion laws alone may not increase teen pregnancy rates but do limit access to abortion as the sole form of birth control that allows women to avoid

    Moderator Question 6: How teen pregnancy rates and outcomes are differing
    across states with certain abortion restrictive laws?
    Answer: The availability of abortion provides insurance against unwanted
    pregnancies since abortion is the only birth control whick allows women to avoid
    an unwanted birth once they are pregnant.

    pregnancy alone?
    Answer: laws fall along a continuum from outright prohibition to allowing
    abortion without restriction as to reason. 2017,42% of women of reproductive

    teen pregnancy and births?

    or even decreased a little; marital births to teens have drope significantly so that
    an increasing proportion of births to teenagers takes place out of wedlock, and
    the number of and rate of abortions have remained the same for several years.
    Moderator question 9: What are the underlying factors that lend to specific policy
    implications?
    Answer: The policy implications from this study indicate the nonfood
    interventions have to innovative explore opportunities the include culturally,
    specific programs and target specific groups.
