Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
For an adolescent female seeking abortion, her right to privacy and ability to give consent vary by state. No federal protection is extended to adolescents requesting abortion services.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Young men's reaction to their partner being pregnant often depends on the nature of the rela-tionship before the pregnancy. A large percentage of young men will continue to accompany the young woman to some prenatal visits and may even attend the delivery. It is not usual for a young man to be excluded or even rejected by the young woman's family (usually her mother).
