Teenage abortion rates rising

A recent article came out stating that an increase in teen abortions occurs after the Winter holidays. Certainly this should be an alarming revelation.
The problem in this instance isn’t just the fact that teenagers are more likely to have abortions during the holidays, it’s the fact that they can get away with it: a simple solution to a few moments of “freedom”. This stems from a lack in parental supervision and the ability to freely have an abortion without parental consent.
While teens are left to their own devices when out of school for the holidays, they see it as an opportunity to have sex without their parents finding out. Because abortion clinics are legally allowed to perform procedures on minors under certain conditions without parental consent, the teenagers are able to remedy their ‘mistake’ without suffering any consequences.
The organization Planned Parenthood even has a holiday-friendly abortion ad titled “Choice on Earth.” Themed this way, teens can have an abortion and feel no more guilty about it then they would giving themselves a Christmas present.
Parents need to be more aware of what their children are doing. This article is just more proof of that fact.
