Roe v. Wade, state adoption laws, and medical policies all affected this case.

Termination of pregnancy, parental rights if the child is a minor, role the biological father plays in the decision-making process, and open versus closed adoption were all present in this case.

There are evidence-based teenage pregnancy prevention programs that could be implemented in the school system.

The final decision was left unanswered to provide the opportunity for discussion.
