If a women is young and pregnant what are the chances of the baby being deformed/ or having health problems?

it is for a speech i have to write about how women should be able to choose if they want abortion or not so if anyone wants to write one for me or contribute to it , please do !

Answer:
Okay, there is no such thing as "young" and "woman", at least not in the same sentence. A young girl who gets pregnant is more likely to have a healthy baby because she will usually be healthy. Not that it makes it okay to do it. An older woman may have complications depending on her health, weight and many other things such as previous problems during pregnancy or mis-carriages.
Yeah, we'll write your paper for you. Get real.

And the chances of problems with a baby born to a young woman depend on many, many factors.not just the fact that she's young. Do some research.
age really has nothing to do with it.most problems are inherited or caused by something during the term(like drugs)
Well I never been pregnant but from what I heard being very young can give you complications during the birth of the child, but it can also be born very healthy. Actually having babies very old is when you run the risk of having a baby retarded or so and so.
There are chances a baby can be deformed or have health problems regardless of mom's age or health. I was raised pro-life in the South. When I was22 I had a fling after my first divorce in which I got pregnant. I already had a 1-1/2 year old baby and was alone. The fling was not a suitable father figure (in my opinion) so marriage was not an option. I chose to abort to save face and my parents pride (they didn't know until after). If abortion was illegal, I would have found a back-alley doc and taken my chances. I have regretted this decision ever since it was made. My mother and I are still pro-life, but we thank God the choice was available when I made it. Instead of just losing the baby, we might have lost me. I wouldn't be here today to tell women that they can survive an unplanned pregnancy and learn God's forgiveness. The choice needs to be available, but the options of adoption need to be pushed. I wish every day I had put my pride aside and given my baby to someone who could care for it.
As long as she takes care of her self then the baby will be fine.
If a woman is too young her body is not prepared to carry a pregnancy to term. Lots of things can happen, from miscarriage to her having to have a C section to low birthweight baby, to a premature birth. One of the major complications is that these baby's lungs don't develop enough in the womb because the mother's own body isn't developed enough.
The rest is up to you to look up it's YOUR homework.
