Reply #358: Major surgery? It isn't, it isn't. Who has been telling you this?

[put out]

What if your imaginary teenager thinks she dearly loves this boy she has been having intercourse with, and he is the father of your grandchild?

And you know, it will tear her up in a dozen ways to have a baby? Physically, emotionally, mentally, financially? Maybe she might have a future if she stops "motherhood". Maybe she functions pretty low, maybe so does he. Maybe you just can't, for the sake of other family members, reconcile yourself to starting out again with an infant; you know deep down these two kids just are not going to be able to do it. And, of course, you can't make her adopt this baby out. But she can certainly leave it with you when it gets to be a little much.

Here is the deal: if you can decide that she can't have an abortion, then it follows logically that you can decide that she must have an abortion. Take her to the hospital, the clinic, strap her down, drug her to the gills.

My opinion, it is simply a decision you can't make. I can't make that decision for anyone else. Neither can you, unless you are willing to bear every possible consequence.
