Your 15 yo daughter comes home and tells you she is pregnant.
Her BF is also 15.
They have talked about it and agreed they both want to get an abortion.
What do you do?
*disclaimer - i have no kids, just a hypothetical situation
No offense, but until you are actually IN that situation as a parent you don't really know what you'd do.
I'd help her set up an appt ASAP and drive her myself. Then make sure she got BCP's while warning her about sleeping with her bf's at such a young age.
Honestly, there is nothing you can do. What has happened has happened and no amount of yelling if you are unhappy about it is gonna change that! you need to be there for her but explain the consequences for her actions! she might think everything will be rosey for a while but I think if you explained how difficult and challanging it was for you she will be able to make a decision for herself based on facts. you are her parent and whatever you say is going to help her make a decision, just tell her how you feel and just go with whatever happens!
That's why it's so important for parents to talk with their kids VERY EARLY ON about sex and consequences of sex. Kids should be informed of what happens once a teen is pregnant; either the baby is aborted, or there is a real living, breathing baby they will be responsible for whether they like it or not (having a child, not the child itself).

Great post! My 14 yr old has watched several episodes w/ me of "16 and Pregnant" and it's definitely not what she wants for her life.
As far as what I would do, I can't honestly say. I think the best thing would be to give the baby up for adoption, but I don't know how I would react. I do know I would still love and support her no matter what.
Kill the boyfriend slowly in front of the daughter to make certain that it never happens again. Make certain that she will always remember the results and will not do this anymore.
Then I would raise the baby. I do not belive in killing a baby because it is inconvenient. (Boyfriends ae a differnt story. They are vile things that deserve a painful death).
I have been in this situation. My neice is several years older, but I suggested abortion.
We just celebrated the boy's one year birthday.
Seattle, you would force her to have an abortion? I'm happy your niece didn't get one childfree.
