In view of the educational, economic, social, and personal challenges facing pregnant teenagers, some turn to abortion. In many countries, adolescents have difficulty finding and paying for safe abortions. Furthermore, teenagers often delay obtaining an abortion until later gestation, which can lead to life-threatening medical complications. Although emotional problems from abortion are rare, they are more likely to occur when the adolescent delays obtaining the abortion, is undecided about the abortion, has no support for the abortion, or has psychological problems outside of the abortion.
