I think in this day in age. Abortion really is the last resort. Since Plan B is now sold over the counter there really isn't any reason even if you are in the small percentage that the condom breaks. Condoms usually only break if they are put on incorrectly.
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
Take daughter to clinic. Then take daughter to doctor for birth control. Give her a massive butt woopin. Put her on at least a year of lock down punishment. In that order.
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).
So much for the sanctity of life!
How do you think the parents of the boyfriend will feel? WTH?
Mom and dad, if you can see your way at all to keep the baby, do it! One day that baby will be a teenager, then an adult, and the possibilities for a wonderful grandchild are endless!
If you just cannot help your daughter with baby/child care, look for an open adoption agency. Your daughter can deliver the baby in the hospital in the normal manner, with the adoptive parents standing by at delivery time. Right up until delivery and formal adoption, daughter holds most of the cards regarding the adoption. She alone chooses the adoptive parents, and she can set parameters for future interaction with the adoptive parents. Daughter can see or not see the baby at birth- it's up to her, but she will have the right to always know where the adoptive parents and child are located- provided she makes that agreement with the adoptive parents through the agency.
The baby will have two family sets; very little contact with your daughter, but always knowing his/her heritage. I have seen this work! Caring people can find ways to help the child have a wonderful life. Encourage your daughter to do Open Adoption.

"clearsight" is a good user name for you.
Nice, logical approach.
Personally, I'd weigh the options. There are some 15 year old females who are mature enough, both physically and mentally/emotionally to handle a preganancy and some who are not.
If the daughter could handle the pregnancy on all fronts, then the option mentioned above is a beautiful and loving choice.
All of the "grandparents" who want to swoop in? Sorry, but not a fan.
Can't quite put my finger on it, but it seems overbearing, controlling and just a touch....incestuous.

I'd first have to question what I did so wrong as a parent if my 15 year old came home and told me she was pregnant. There just is no excuse for that.
