Of the 6,000,000 pregnancies occurring the U.S. each year,
single women facing an unplanned pregnancy make up approximately one - third *.
But, mostly, I didn't see a young,
single woman facing an unplanned pregnancy choosing a young, single woman to parent her child.
When
faced with
unplanned pregnancy there are pro-choice, liberal, secular
women who have abortions and then there are pro-life, conservative, religious
women who plan adoptions; both groups may parent, but this choice also comes with its fair share of stigmas and judgments if made under socially unacceptable circumstances, like being a young,
single, or impoverished).
