T he teenage pregnancy rate in Canada has hit an all-time low and the teen abortion rate has fallen to its lowest level in more than a decade, according to a new report **[LOGICAL FALLACIES]. kayla - i agree that this is a logical fallacies because it is more then likely true, just doesnt have evidence to support its statement.** abbi- I also agree with kayla and denise because of the same reasons. Brianne- i also agree with abbi denise and kayla. The number of unwanted pregnancies among adolescents and young adults has fallen principally because they are using birth control**[ JUDGMENT ] kayla - i would agree that this is a judgement but it would also fit under the logical fallacies because it is more then likely a true statement ** Abbi- I agree that this is a judgement because there is no exact evidence that this is true or untrue. said Alex McKay, research co-ordinator at the Sex Information and Education Council of Canada, and author of the study. "It's due to greater contraceptive use, not teens having less sex," he said. Despite the improved numbers, more than 33,000 young women under the age of 19 still get pregnant each year, and almost 18,000 opt for abortion#26CFC9 **[JUDGMENT] Kayla - this is a report because there are statistics**. Zatrina- I also agree this is a report because of the statistics. Close to 15,000 teenage girls give birth each year in Canada .**[JUDGMENT] kayla - i believe this is a report because there are stats involved Zatrina- i also think this is a judgement because it is an estimated number. Brianne- i also believe that this is a judgment because it is giving an estimated number. ** While the pregnancy rate is falling, sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis are soaring among young people, and that points to poor sex education **[INFERENCE] Kayla - I believe this is a logical fallacies because it is probably true but there is no back up support**, Linda Capperauld, executive director of the Canadian Federation for Sexual Health, said in an interview. "We continue to focus on unintended pregnancy, but we're neglecting to give young people the tools to ensure their long-term sexual health," she said **[BIAS]**. Kayla - i believe this is a judgement because it is someones opinion Ms. Capperauld said that oral contraceptives (commonly referred to as the Pill) remain the birth control of choice among teenage girls and that they and their partners are neglecting to use condoms to protect themselves from infections. **[JUDGMENT] Kayla - i think this is a logical fallacies because i thinkk its true but there isnt proof** Both contraception and abortion were legalized in Canada in 1969. esearch, published in today's edition of The Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality, shows that the teen pregnancy rate in Canada fell to 32.1 per 100,000 population in 2003 from 53.9 per 100,000 in 1974. **[LOGICAL FALLACIES] Kayla - i believe this is a report because there are statistics and numbers Zatrina- i also agree with Kayla because there are dates n stats that prove this is a report. Brianne- i agree with kayla and zatrina because it is stating that wasnt estamated. ** During the same period, the teen abortion rate increased to 17.1 per 100,000 from 13.9 per 100,000. However, the number of teens having abortions has fallen steadily since 1994**. [INFERENCE] Kayla - i believe this is also a report because of the involved stats ** Live births, for their part, fell to 14.4 per 100,000 from 35.7 per 100,000, meaning there are now far fewer teen moms. **[INFERENCE] kayla - i believe this is also a report** The study also shows striking regional differences in the number of teen pregnancies. Nunavut has the highest teen pregnancy rate, with young women there getting pregnant at five times the rate of those in Prince Edward Island, which has the lowest rate. **[BIAS] Kayla - i believe this is a logical fallacies but has no supportive points to back it up** Abbi- I also agree that this is bias Over all, the teen pregnancy rate is highest in the North and in rural areas. **[BIAS]** Abbi- I believe that this is a judgement because it is not a proven fact That's not surprising, Ms. Capperauld said, "because they just don't have the services" such as sexual health clinics, pharmacies that sell birth control to teens, and abortion clinics. **[JUDGMENT] kayla - i agree this is a judgement because its someones opinon** Abbi- i also agree that this is a judgement because it is someones opinion She said that, over all, sex education in schools is poor and in many regions of the country non-existent. "It's amazing that our teen pregnancy rate is falling despite the spotty education," Ms. Capperauld said **[INFERENCE]**. kayla - i believe this is a judgement because its someones opinon Abbi- this is also a judgement because this is an opinion Mr. McKay said there are also social, cultural and economic factors that help explain regional differences **[BIAS] kayla - i believe this is a judgement because its is mr mckays opinon** Abbi- this is also a judgment because it is someones opinion Brianne- i think that this could be ether or because it is someones opinion witch maked it judgmental but it could also be bias because he is only looking at one side. He said, for example, that teen pregnancy is more accepted in aboriginal communities. Research has also shown that where women - and young women, in particular - have access to good health care, education and employment opportunities, teen pregnancy rates decline **[LOGICAL FALLACIES] kayla - i agree this is logical fallacies, it just lacks support and stats** Abbi- I agree with kayla and denise on this Zatrina- I also agree with the girls on this one. Brianne i also am agreeing. "To encapsulate, we know that when adolescent women see hope for their future, they tend to take more direct, concerted action to control their reproductive health," Mr. McKay said. **[LOGICAL FALLACIES] kayla - this is a judgement i believe because it is an opinon** Abbi- i also agree this is a judgment because it is someones opinion In Canada, there are about 330,000 lives birth each year, and about 110,000 abortions. **[JUDGMENT] kayla - i think this is a report because of the numbers involved** Abbi- i agree that this is a report because there are stats and numbers involved
