No one can be forced. She could go to social services and ask for help. There are plenty of pro-life organizations that would taken on the responsibility of taking care of her and her child, right?

My thought, the teen wanted to have the baby, stay at home, and let her parents pay for it and take care of her and the baby. She chose to stay under her parent's wings and abort. She made a choice.

I think our whole society has been traumatized by abortion. That would explain all the horrible things we have today. Whole families being killed by a family member, etc. Crazy things out there with no explanation to them.

Then you would be wrong. They were going to marry when he got home.

Anyway, even if her parents can't or won't help them there is help for them from other people and organizations. Abortion should be the last choice not the first.

I think people who spend time whining over fertilized eggs have difficulty seeing half the human race as fully human. Abortion isn't a modern invention. Abortion has been going on for as long as we've been around.

You anti-abortion extremists would be better people if you spent your time worrying about people already here instead of those who aren't.

Plus my SIL was fired becuse she would not abort. You are rare if you don't know of a case like that,

Google
A page of websites - none of them legitimate news outlets, all with one agenda. Sorry, but these do not count. Nor does your anecdotal story about your SIL.

So, still waiting....

Why are men upset that they can't force a woman to undergo a procedure with significant health risks in the name of their own personal morality? When fetuses are grown in incubators not in real people then men can get a say in abortion.

Pro-life people think life is sacred from the moment of conception to natural death. If you leave any life out then it would not have the whole definition. Pro-choice people only think of the woman and THAT is only half as you say. They think abortion is the ONLY answer. they dismiss any other option. Their choice or no choice.

Most pro-choice people do NOT think of abortion as the only answer. Some pro-choice people are also against abortion and would prefer they never happen and support doing things to reduce the need for abortion and number of abortions, they just don't want it to be illegal. Some pro-choice women would never have an abortion. Some pro-choice people encourage others to not have abortions.

I'm a pro choice woman who absolutely thinks abortion should be a last resort. I also support adoption and women who decide to keep and raise her progeny. I think abortion should be safe and accessible which is why I consider myself pro choice. Banning abortion won't end it, it will just force women to get them by illegal and often unsafe means.
