“…Likewise, in a review of qualitative studies on adolescent motherhood in the United States, Clemmens (2003) notes that a common theme running through past research, yet not always explicitly addressed, has been the perception of motherhood as a positively transforming event in the lives of young women. Nevertheless, as observed by Furstenberg (2007), SmithBattle (2007a; 2007b; 2009), Burdell (1995), and Wilson and Huntington (2006), the conception of teen motherhood as a potential turning point in the lives of young women has been trivialized, if not ignored, in both popular and academic discourse.…”

It is a generally accepted finding in the sociological literature as well as in public discourse that adolescent mothers are less likely than their non-parenting counterparts to graduate high school and to attend college. For several decades, however, researchers have pointed out that the implied causal process from teen motherhood to academic failure has been largely unsupported by empirical research. In fact, scholars have recently argued that motherhood may actually serve as a positive turning point in the lives of young women. Using a sample of young African American women, the present study assesses the degree to which teen motherhood not only affects college aspirations but also expectations. Further, it tests the ability of these effects to explain the well-known educational attainment gap between teen mothers and their non-childbearing peers. Results indicate that, in general, young mothers’ college aspirations are similar to those of non-mothers, but that their generally high aspirations for academic success appear to be effectively countered by their decreased educational expectations.

“…The language in Title IX is explicit: Pregnant and mothering students have the right to the same education opportunity as their peers. However, in practice, evidence indicates that schools are falling fall short of this mission (Burdell, 1996;Ling, 2002;Pillow, 2004). Furthermore, to date, there is no case law guiding the implementation of Title IX and the access of pregnant and mothering students to educational courses and programs (Brake, 1994).…”

This article explores the politics surrounding the education of pregnant/mothering students. Utilizing Title IX, which guarantees the rights of pregnant/mothering students to an education equal to her peers, as an analytical lens, the author specifically identifies how absences in knowledge, research, and practice about the education of pregnant/mothering students are constructed. These absences, which are not neutral, construct discourses that affect the provision of education to pregnant/mothering students. The author argues that until teen pregnancy is repoliticized as an educational issue, pregnant/mothering students will not receive the education they deserve and are entitled to.

“…Birth rates among teenagers have risen during the past two decades and created increasing national concern (Rhode, 1993;Adams, Adams-Taylor, & Pittman, 1989). Social and medical research has revealed that teenage pregnancies result in negative consequences, such as labor complications, higher rates of cervical cancer and hysterectomies (Burdell, 1995). Social and psychological research indicates that children of adolescent parents have more behavioral problems, fail more often in school, and have less intellectual ability than the offsprings of older parents (Gilchrist & Schinke, 1983).…”

The United States (U.S.) continues to have substantially higher teen pregnancy rates than other industrialized Western countries. Since October 16, 1916, Planned Parenthood has served as a trusted provider for women's health care and teen pregnancy prevention programs. Sex education and information, especially in school health programs, are socially complicated and face possible federal and state funding cuts, perhaps elimination. We conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to examine the professional literature to determine the number of articles that integrate the keywords, Planned Parenthood, teen pregnancy, and policy. Eight articles fit the inclusive criteria, peer-reviewed from 2006-2016, using 18 online search engines. The articles rendered four primary themes regarding the SLR: the multi-component nature of teen pregnancy prevention; role of Planned Parenthood; importance of health professionals; and interruption of life plans with unintended pregnancies. Based on our analysis, we concluded that strong evidence exists indicating a need for consistent and increased knowledge regarding women's reproductive health, particularly for teens. For exactly a century, Planned Parenthood has been a national model in reducing teen pregnancy and providing there productive health care knowledge among uninsured, teen, indigent, under-insured, and chronically ill women in the U.S..
