(Reuters Health) - Compared to teen mothers, girls who have an abortion before age 18 have no negative effects that carry into early adulthood, a nationwide study in Finland suggests.
Girls who had underage abortions tended to have higher educational attainment and were less likely to be dependent on welfare at age 25 compared to the girls who gave birth, the study team found.

WHAT BABY? An unborn human is so different from an actual baby that it is always unwise to ever call the unborn human a "baby". I'm aware that "old habits die hard", but that doesn't change the fact that erroneous habits need to die. (Unborn humans generally don't need to die, but it is equally true that they don't need to live, either. And therefore abortion is legal.)There's a good reason to kill a baby...

Seems to be a big flaw in this study.
The article doesn't specify how many of the girls who gave birth actually raised (or tried to raise) the child, and how many gave it up immediately. I'm pretty sure you'd see a difference if you separated out those groups, too.

It's a good reason to have an abortion.
It's a hateful, stupid, selfish reason to kill another human being.
It makes sense that you'd call it "good," though.

Hey, it's JayDubya! It's been a long time, old friend.
BE AN ABORTION OPPONENT. Since there are no actually-valid reasons to oppose abortion, there can only be hateful, stupid, selfish reasons to oppose abortion.It's a hateful, stupid, selfish reason to
NOT WHAT ABORTION DOES. No unborn human qualifies as "a being" (a generic person), any more than a rat qualifies as "a being". Sure, the unborn human is human (so is a cuticle cell, or a hydatidiform mole), but that fact ALONE doesn't make it a "being", and therefore it is just a Stupid Lie to call it (or a cuticle cell or a hydatidiform mole) "a human being" (a person that happens to also be a human).kill another human being.
There's a good reason for young women to put *their interests* first.
Just like men have since... forever?
Or not.....women who give up a child for adoption are at a much higher risk for psychological problems. I would imagine that interferes with employablility.

The people who wrote the Reuters article and probably the majority of pro choicers also.Assuming the facts are not skewed i only have 1 question.
Better outcome by who's standards?
TYPE of outcome is also relevant. If the word "economic" had been included, between "better" and "outcome", would you be asking that question?Better outcome by who's standards?

Imo their is a clear bias in the title. Why cant we just say abortion is right for some and not for others. Trying to prove if its a good or bad thing in absolute terms seems silly to me.

Who wouldn't consider attaining a higher education and less likely to be on welfare as better than being on welfare and/or having less education?
