Male Reproductive Responsibility

1985

Unknown female from the Orange County California Urban League was asked to write a proposal for the study of the "Male Reproductive Responsibility". She explains that the Urban League focuses on helping urban minorities and the economically disadvantaged. She decided to explore pregnancy and teen fathers because so little research had been done on them. She discovered that one in ten teenage girls becomes pregnant every year. Adolescent male fathers need to accept more responsibility for their role in unwanted pregnancies. She then offers some options that might be pursued.
