also, i read a lot about teen pregnancy to find the actual truth. first, in countries like african countries and shit, pregnancy complications in general are much worse. also, when i read research papers about pregnant teens the percent who had complications was actually still pretty low despite being a little higher than women in their 20s. for example, it would say like 6% of women in their 20% and maybe 14% (or 12%) for teens. also, the idea that teen pregnancy complications has only to do with biological immaturity or an underdeveloped pelvis isn't completely accurate. First, although the pelvis reaches full development at ages 25-30, this doesn't mean it isn't sufficiently developed until 25-30, because that would mean women ages 20-24 have an underdeveloped pelvis (which they don't). The pelvis becomes developed enough for childbirth usually in the late teens, for a small amount of foids it's early 20s, but for the vast majority of them it's late teens. Also, experts on teen pregnancy aren't able to know if it has to do with biological immaturity or socioeconomic factors such as less education, less prenatal care, smoking, etc. Many teens lack prenatal care and many smoke while pregnant, which can increase complications risk. Some studies show biological immaturity is a factor, some say it isn't and really has to do with lack of prenatal care, smoking and other socioeconomic factors. One study showed that controlling for socioeconomic factors reduces the odds of complications but the odds are still a little higher than women in their 20s. nonetheless, studies show that if pregnant teens have access to prenatal care, avoid smoking, use good nutrition, have education, etc., they have a very high chance of giving birth to a healthy baby. Like i said, the percentage of teens in research papers with complications wasn't that much higher than for women in their 20s.
also, studies show that black women are much more likely to have complications, but the reason isn't their race, it's because of racism in america denying them access to prenatal care. also, in medieval and ancient times, infant mortality rates were much higher and 1 in 3 women would die from pregnancy, and many women wrote their wills instantly after realizing their pregnant, but it was only because we didn't have good prenatal care back then or doctors and people usually gave awful pregnancy advice back then, and the people giving advice usually weren't experts on pregnancy.
also, teen pregnancy complications are much more common younger teens (13-14) than older teens (15-19). The older the teen, the lower the odds of pregnancy complications. This is probably because foids age 13/14 or even younger aren't done with puberty, while older teens age 15-19 are done with puberty. Girls usually finish puberty at 15-17 and usually begin it at 10 or 11. Mary, the mother of Jesus, gave birth to him when she was like 14 or something, maybe a bit older, and Jesus didn't die of natural causes. According to muslims, he was brought into heaven by god and only someone who looked like him was crucified (who people incorrectly thought was Jesus). According to christians, he was crucified, and most scholars agree he was crucified.
i also, remember some idiot on IT say "underage marriage was never common. it's a myth. in early USA and medieval england, foids married in their 20s" funny how he only looks at two countries. in ancient greece, foids usually married at 14/15 to a man in his late 20s/early 30s. in viking age sweden, foids usually married between age 12 and 15. in ancient israel, girls typically married at 12/13 and according to talmudic literature, boys usually married at age 16-24 (usually 18). in the 14th century in i think renassiance italy, girls usually married at age 15 or 16 and all of them were married by 18. average age of marriage being between a 16 year old girl and a 23 year old guy. in the 1400s in renassiance italy or something, most foids wouldn't get married until usually 17/18 however. aztecs usually married at about 14-16 for girls and age 20 for guys and in maya civilization people usually around age 20 but sometimes foids married at 16/17. in early 1900s india, the average age of marriage was between a 13 year old girl and a 20 year old guy. In russia back in the 1700s, in villages, underage marriage was becoming unusual but in cities, girls usually married in their mid-teens or something, and peasant russian girls had an average marriage age of 12. in many parts of the world before the industrial revolution, including china, eastern europe and india, girls usually married in their mid-teens and usually married a much older man and in this practice continued in those regions well into the 1800s. in the early meiji period of japan (around 1870s), many girls married at 16. in ancient egypt, girls usually married at age 12-15 and guys at age 15-20, with a usual age gap of only 3 years. in the american blackfoot indian tribe, the usual marriage was between a 15 year old woman and a 35 year old man. then that same ITfag said that early menarche is only recent and girls usually had it at 14 or even 15/16 in the past thus it's unnatural to like teen foids but the problem is is that we're attracted to physical maturity and appearance, not age, so if they are developed in their teens, we'll be attracted to them. if they are still prepubescent even at age 21 (if that exists), we won't be attracted to them. our biology/sexuality doesn't respond to laws. also, in the paleolithic age, the menarche age was between age 7/8 and 13, being just as early as nowadays, if not earlier. and in ancient middle east, it was actually age 12-13, similar to today.
also, as for the leading cause of death among teen girls, that's a stupid argument because most teenage girls don't die and the vast majority of pregnant teens don't die. it's like saying that suicide is common cause of death among teens thus most teens commit suicide even though most teens don't commit suicide and a majority don't even feel suicidal. it's like saying that accidents are the most common death among teens thus most teens die from accidents even though most teens (including most teens who drink) don't die from it, because teenagers almost never die and deaths among teen girls (even pregnant teens) is still rare. in fact, i've read studies showing that it's really more dangerous among middle-school age girls than older post-pubescent teenagers.
i also love it when people bring up the teen brain myth. The teen brain doesn't exist. The teen brain isn't the cause of teen immaturity and turmoil, it's the immaturity among teens the causes the teen brain, and teenagers are only immature because society infantilizes them so much. we extend their childhood to essentially 21 and have them stay in school, live with their parents and go to college and thus they don't act like adults until age 30. if teen turmoil was biological, it'd be found in all societies, but it isn't. Robert Epstein wrote a lot about this.
and teen girls are only traumatized by consensual sex with older guys because of society's extreme disapproval of it, it isn't the age gap that caused it. There are NO records of teen girls being traumatized by marriage to older guys long ago. And many here mentioned their grandma marrying in their teens to an older guy. I'm sure in the 1950s, white foids would date black guys and then later whine about being traumatized from it because only 4% of americans in 1958 approved of interracial marriage, compared to 87% in 2013.
