12. She is taking control of her life and understanding consequences.
Until, or IF, she wants a child, I'd rather not have her have to have a child. Yes, she had sex. At least 3 times that yr Did she use contraception that failed? Was she raped? Did she have health issues that made OC's not a choice, IUD not a choice, perhaps latex allergies (back when condoms were latex)? Did her partner(s) refuse to use that condom? Did she not care to prevent that egg/sperm from uniting? Was she glad to get that month break from having sex?

Lots of questions. I eventually got some very interesting answers, and she eventually had a child, was a very good mom. however, I fully supported her right to get the care she sought when she sought it.
