Adolescents are extremely vulnerable to unwanted pregnancy. Counseling around the decision making process requires expertise in the areas of adolescent development, teenage motherhood and abortion. Teenagers usually need more intensive counseling than adult women in coping with an abortion because of their developmental status. If the abortion issue is not adequately resolved, adolescents may present later life problems around sexuality and parenting. Although teenagers who choose abortion have good potential to benefit from crisis intervention, there are very few services available to them.
