Pregnancy decision-making of legal minors (17 and younger) and legal adults is compared on the basis of interview data. Minors are found to be less likely than adults to anticipate consultation with a professional regarding the pregnancy, and more likely than adults to perceive decisions about pregnancy disposition and contraception as being "externally" determined. Implications of these differences are considered.
