<p>Huge concerns all the way around regarding health of the mother, health of the baby, the likelihood of the mother/baby living in poverty is far greater, the likelihood of the mother not finishing high school, etc., etc., etc. Check out the Centers for Disease Control’s statistics on teenage pregnancy: <a href=“http://www.cdc.gov/teenpregnancy/aboutteenpreg.htm”>http://www.cdc.gov/teenpregnancy/aboutteenpreg.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
