Teen pregnancy has a significant impact on a teen's education, as well as the goals they set for themselves. Parental involvement is sometimes overlooked by the adolescent in deciding whether abortion is the right choice.

When states consider a pregnant teen an adult, the teen has the authority to make her own decisions. One of the reasons why abortion is a procedure of choice for young adults is to continue their education and receive an ideal career in the future. Teens have difficulty taking care of themselves while attending school, and are less alone in adding a child to the scenario. They realize that they are unprepared and too immature for a life that consists of caring for another human being. The abortion process is a procedure that adolescents have access to, without parental involvement, to continue their education without having a dysfunctional future. Teens may choose to have an abortion for several reasons. Before any action is taken, teens must gain access to obtain this procedure.
