Unwanted pregnancy

About

An unwanted pregnancy is a pregnancy which the mother would prefer to terminate (through abortion if necessary) for any of a number of possible reasons.

The frequent occurrence of unwanted pregnancies worldwide is almost universally seen as a problem, though "pro-life" and "pro-choice" political factions advocate very different solutions.

• Teen pregnancy is often used as a proxy for unwanted pregnancy.
• Many unwanted pregnancies may also be unintended, but some unintended pregnancies are wanted and some intended pregnancies become unwanted (most commonly due to medical issues). Unintended pregnancies are not a problem per se; a problem only exists if the pregnancy is unwanted.
