You always see in the paper or hear from a freind about someones 14, 15, 16 year old daughter getting pregos and having a baby these days.
So, here's the questions,
"Would you force her to give you the sperm donors name and force his parents to help pay for the care of the baby "legally if you could", until they are BOTH out of school?"
And would you force her to stay in school, get that deploma and let her know that her life as a teenager has just came to dead end and that there will no more free life for her either"? She wanted to act like a grown up, not she has to be a grown up from here on out!
I cringe at the thought of my son being in this situation when he's a teen, but IF it were to happen to him (getting a girl pregnant), I would make him assume the responsibility of raising the child and contributing where he could. Also, I would make sure that he stayed in school, and I would do my best to ensure that the girl did the same (by being encouraging and talking about the importance of an education).
I would take his parents to court and make them pay for 1/2 of everything across the board. Whatever kind of arrangement they have with their kids to pay them back is their problem. And that financial obligation would stick until the the baby mamma was graduated from high school. None of this moveing in with each other either, she stay's at her home and he stay's at his home. And while she's in school the other parents would be forced to help baby sit the child, or help pay for professional baby sitting services. Not a state paid for one either.

If she found out she was pregnant and was only a few weeks along I'd consider allowing an abortion. Older than that and I would be incredibly reticent to do so, instead favoring adoption. If adoption was somehow not a choice then I'd do what EarthBound would do.
edit: If my son got a girl pregnant then yeah I'd tell him he better work damn hard to pay for the kid's care.
The kid would get castrated and then start taking responsibility. I would not treat this as a wham bam thank you ma'am situation.
