The results indicated the existence of some differences between both groups that may be relevant in the decision to have an abortion, for example the adolescent's age and occupation, her desire to become pregnant, the number of past pregnancies, the baby's father reaction to the pregnancy and the adolescent satisfaction and necessity of social support. |
