We think that the main reasons are that they are curious about what sexual intercourse is about as well as peer pressure as their
peers have had sexual intercourse. Other reasons can be on impulse, from being drunk, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is because some teenagers may not have learnt about sexual reproduction and are thus curious about it and may have sexual intercourse.I also think that it may be because of peer pressure from their friends to do so.Since they are teenagaers, they are going through puberty so hormones also make them want to have sexual intercourse.

# data[].attributes.body
there isn’t a lot of context regarding the exact specific reasons why her boyfriend wanted her to terminate her pregancy, so he could either have actual financial problems with supporting both miss june and their child, or just simply be an irresponsible boyfriend not ready to face the expectations and responsibilities of being a parent. honestly if it were the former i wouldn’t blame him, but i still feel like he should stay by miss june’s side to help her cope with the shame and guilt that they both must have felt instead of breaking up with her due to the abortion. even if he could not support them financially he should have been there for her emotionally !! i feel like he could have been doing what he felt was best for them, but he could have been more responsible in handling it. just because he wasn’t the one with the baby does NOT mean that he could just leave miss june to handle the stress and guilt and grief all by herself >:(

# data[].attributes.body
We think it might be due to peer pressure, teenagers might feel pressured to do it if a lot of their friends are also doing it. It might also be due to raging hormones which might cause them to do it on impulse. It might also happen after teenagers get drunk or are curious about how it works.

# data[].attributes.body
they may have had
peer pressure from others already having sexual intercourse
been raped
hormones making them want to have sexual intercourse (?)didnt get education about it and were curious about it

# data[].attributes.body
Possible reasons:

1. They are in a relationship and they think that having sexual intercourse can improve their relationship. They do it because they want to.

2. Rape

3. Paid to do so

4. Unaware of the responsibility

5. Do not understand the consequences

Should faith ever be considered in the discussion of legal-ing such issues (abortion )like what happened to LGBT rights

They may be curious about it and have done it on impulse without thinking of the consequences

I would advise Miss June’s boyfriend to consider and discuss  thoroughly wit Miss June about the consequences of abortion before making a decision. I think he didn’t really consider Miss June’s feeling as a Mother-to-be and whether Miss June will be agreeing just so she will not lose him etc. I think the best option for them in that situation is to calm down/view the matter calmly and discuss their own feelings and the possible challenges or problems they will face after the abortion. If Miss June had told her boyfriend or maybe her boyfriend had asked her about how traumatised she might be after the abortion, such cases might be better prevented.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that parents should be informed if their children are getting an abortion for their own welfare and stuff like maybe they show symptoms and side effects of abortion and their parents are total unaware and if they find out maybe they get angry >:( and things just get worse

A.They were told that having sex makes them feel good.
B.curiousity and hence doing experiments
C. Pressure of being a virgin
D. Rape
E. Their partner wants to

# data[].attributes.body
Though he should have been supportive of her when she was going through such a hard time, he only cared about how his life would be impacted and irresponsibly walked away from the problem after that

# data[].attributes.body
I think that teenagers (especially if they are under a lot of pressure and have a lot of anxieties) generally are very rash and don’t make sound decisions on such matters. I think it would be better if parents gave their consent because they are be able to consider the issue and make better decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
They might receive peer pressure, where many of their peers with similar ages have done it before and teenagers might feel like they need to do it too to fit in. Some have sexual intercourse without their consent, while others might also be under the influence of social platforms.

# data[].attributes.body
pERHAPS they got drunk and high,, so their hormones went abit crazy and they could not resist the thrill of losing their virginity for the first time ?? or perhaps peer pressure from their friends

# data[].attributes.body
We think he should not have done that as he should not have done that to her during such a difficult time for her. He also should not have persuaded her to make the decision as it is ultimately her body so it should be her decision. Whatever decision she makes, it is her who has to live with it for the rest of her life, so she should be the one to make the decision and not receive pressure from him

i wonder if there should be like a rule or something or at least measures taken against irresponsible boyfriends ,, so that girls wont have to take on all the pressure of the pregnancy AND abortion by themselves yay honestly people should just use pROTECTION and be careful uh dont let hormones get the better of you whoop yeehaw

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Ms June’s boyfriend did not handle the situation well enough. Even though it could be because he were still not mentally ready, and resulted in trying to escape from the situation, I think that he could have handled the situation better. It is understandable that he thinks he is not ready to be a Father in his early twenties, and if they gave birth to the child they may not have the ability to raise a child, both mentally and financially. Despite all these, I think that even if he wanted to call for an abortion, he should not just plead Ms June for an abortion then ended their relationship so due to the stress. After all, it should be her decision to make and not entirely the father’s. Even if he isn’t the one being pregnant, he was partly the cause of it. I also feel that its not entirely wrong to call for an abortion if the young parents did not have the capabilities to raise a child but Ms June’s boyfriend still shouldn’t leave her right after they agreed on the abortion, but stay by her side as she was going through an even more difficult time. I think that his actions of ending the relationship right after the abortion was done, which probably meant the whole issue was settled to him, was insensitive and selfish. Even if he may regret having sexual intercourse with Ms June and wants to put an end to all this, he should have stayed by Ms June’s side, instead of abandoning her and leaving her on her own to face the guilt of killing a life inside her.

shouldn't there be consequences for people who rape others and cause them to be pregnant? i think it's rather unfair that women have to bear all the consequences of something they didnt consent to. just because women carry children should not mean that they have to face all the consequences. there's also a lot of stigma under teenage pregnancy. people would judge the girl based on the fact that she's pregnant at such a young age, but wouldn't be able to judge a man for raping the girl against her consent and even though she's a minor? like,,,,,, unfair 99999 😡😡🤬🤬👺👺👹👹

The current laws on abortion in Singapore are that there are no requirements for parental consent and the baby is under 6 months ood. We think that parental consent should be required for minors under 16, as they might not know what they are doing and their parents would probably know more and prevent them from making a decision that they might regret for the rest of their life.

# data[].attributes.body
About 1 in 4 pregnancies are terminated, and just take better precautions if you don't plan to have a kid

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
He should have stuck with her. I mean if you’re in a relationship deep enough to want to have unprotected sex, then you should have stayed. He only stayed when the relationship was rosy and happy. Definitely not loyal at all. I think the reason he left her was he didn’t want to deal with the repurcussions of a premarital baby and wasn’t ready for her.
(Great... having sex and not minding the consequence.)

Should parental consent be made compulsory before abortion, then parents and pregnant girl may have some disagreements with what they should do with the baby so more complications

The laws of abortion in Singapore:
-no legal requirement for parental consent for minors (under 16)
-abortion is prohibited after 24 weeks (6 months) of pregnancy unless the mother's life is in danger
I feel like the first rule is both good and bad, as although minors should be given the rights to their own child and have a choice, they might not know if they can handle it. The parents, having gone through raising a child, might understand better and help make a better decision for the minor. However, I understand that the decision should be made mainly by the minors, as it is after all their child.
I think that the second rule is understandable, as ample time is still given to the mother to decide on whether she wants to have an abortion. Moreover, a 24-week-old baby might be more difficult and costly to go through abortion, and after 6 months there will also inevitably be a connection formed between the mother and the foetus.

# data[].attributes.body
Baby must be Before 24 weeks old, only sg citizen. Any age can abort

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
We think that the laws are quite reasonable. Sometimes abortion is the only way out, or the mother may not be able to take the emotional stress or burden of giving birth, raising or giving up her baby for adoption, or the baby developing in her womb may harm her a lot, which in turn could cause her to die whether by suicide or the baby?? The laws of Singapore show that the government acknowledges that abortion is a choice that the mothers themselves make, and that they can abort if they feel that it is the only way out. Firstly, there are no age restrictions for abortion — thus, if the Mother was a young adult or teenager and they were not able to support the child in any way, the would be able to have an abortion. This applies to parental consent not being required also; should the Mother want to get an abortion and her parents not allow her to, she could still get one.

# data[].attributes.body
why isn’t there parental consent or something? don’t the parents need to know about the well-being of their kiddo the kiddo will be sad or something D:

Singapore citizens or sb who have stayed in SG for over 4 months. Foetus under 24 weeks.
That’s perfectly good but should make exception for those whose or her child’s lives are in danger after 24 weeks.

How abortion rate lowered question:
I think they can be educated on what are the consequences of abortion physically and emotionally. They can also be introduced to birth control methods to avoid being pregaenat in the first place after sexual intercourse. When the people are considering abortion, doctors can also ask them if they are super duper sure to do so.

Less stigma around single mothers and greater use of contraception are contributing to the declining abortion rates in Singapore. Some other methods could be having special privileges for families with children.

# data[].attributes.body
just dont have sex sksksksksk 👺👺

# data[].attributes.body
the abortion rates in singapore have been declining due to contraception uses but “contrary to popular belief, most abortions are not carried out on teenage mothers. In fact, only about 11% of abortions are performed on women below 20 years old. About 60% of abortions are requested by married women. That’s about 7,333 aborted babies who would otherwise have been born into two parent families.” http://geraldgiam.sg/2009/05/abortions-in-spore-must-be-reduced/(not sure if that’s true)
i think there can be more seminars by government to educate and spread awareness to more people in singapore about consequences of sex and abortion and just not to have sex if they dun want tohave a baby!! if not they lose a precious innocent life and especially when most of the people aborting children are married couples!!

Actually I don’t think parental consent should be needed as really, pregnancy is going to affect the pregnant much, much more than parents, and things like faith will come in with some parents. Even if the person is a minor, if you are going to say they’re not mature enough for a decision but then they’re DEFINITELY not mature enough to be a mother. Also notifying the parent should be required for those under 21 just so the parents can know about it and be aware, so they can monitor the child closer. but if they are above 21 they are old enough. Let them decide whether to tell the parent.
