Sheās a young, naive kid. Why would you want her to have one of her own? She made a mistake, but birthing a child shouldnāt be her punishment.
Forcing her to have a baby could likely affect her future negatively.
& to all the adoption posts, please look at the foster care system & how many kids are aging out every year bc thereās too many fucking unwanted children.
I had a baby at 15, Iām 63 now. It wasnāt easy but itās doable

Sheās a minor she doesnāt have the capacity to know what she wants. However if she wants to abort it would be smart because she is way to young and this will be a great lesson for her and a new start. Her mother needs to think this overā¦ a 15 year old isnāt mature enough to raise a human beingā¦. She is decidingā¦ and she is deciding correctly. I have a friend who became pregnant at 15 and didnāt want an abortion will her parents thought it would be best. She then ran away with the guy and he is no longer involved and did not care what so ever as the child was growing up. The child is 14 now and is fatherless and my friend loves her son but has had a terribly hard life and she wishes she would have listened yo her parents asking her to abort. I think her mother needs to think about this and realize a baby trying to take care of a baby is a terrible thought.
My mom had me at 15. Wasnt easy but she did it. Congrats to the new Mom!

When it comes down to it Iām personally pro life but I am pro choice in general. I had my first at 16 I was pregnant at 15. I knew the consequences of my actions Iām sure she does. Ultimately it should be her choice as it is her body. Talk to her about the effects of an abortion and make a plan about getting on birth control or the rhythm method if she goes that route. Also talk to her about what a baby can bring to her life. I know she may be young but age does not define how good of a mother you are. But either way it should be her choice.

Honestly, itās neither of your decisions. Itās only hers. Itās a decision she will have to live with her entire life. Make sure she knows what other options she will have, such as adoption, or if a family member may want to adopt.

I think if she doesnāt think sheās ready for a baby she should be able to choose to have an abortion. If youāre too young to make decisions for yourself youāre wAAAAAAY too young to be responsible for an entire separate human being for life.
If she wants an abortion, she should get one. Having that baby could give her more trauma than an abortion.

Give your niece all of her options and some resources but it is her decision and hers alone
Consent to sex is consent to pregnancy. That baby is made from a decision between two people. No fault of its own to live. Itās a human life. Adoption unless itās a high health risk to mother.
If she chose to have sex, she chose to play roulette with the chance to conceive. Abortion is NOT birth control.
Itās her body and her choice. If she knows sheās not ready at 15 then she shouldnāt be forced to

Not only should the girl be able to make the decisions concerning HER baby but also the mother of the teen should have to take some parenting classes to learn how to properly care for and watch her own child.

My friend had an abortion when she was 16, at like 5-6 weeks. She says at that time, it was the only option for her. It was literally one time and pregnant. She knew immediately she didnāt want a child then, had the procedure, and still feels right in her decision. She does say that sheās often wondered about what it wouldāve been and such. But at that time, she couldnāt do it.
Itās not momās life that is being changed. Sheās old enough to have sex and participate, sheās old enough to choose. Let her have all options laid out and support her. Then give her some sex Ed, monitor better, and birth control immediately.
Just my opinion.
Dare I ask if you are in Texas?
i donāt know if any of you actually knows what happens thru an adoption soooā¦ let her decide what she wants for her life. should she choose abortion just make sure itās not used as a form of birth control. please get her on birth control afterwards

No way would I let her carry to full term
Well imma speak my opinion regardless of any push back. Itās her body her choice but i think a talk should be held with her to understand what comes with sex. If your gonna be having sex you gotta know the risk because abortion is not a form of birth control . Just saying
I would talk to her About adoption or see if someone in the family would want to adoptā¦ but at the end of the day itās her choice I got pregnant at 16 and had twins it was honestly the best decision of my life because I wasnāt going anywhere anyway until I had them then it really kicked my ass to whete i needed to be for them ā¦ But at the end of the day itās her choice and her body and kids these days are getting sexually active at a young age the harder you try to keep them away from the world and more sneakier they are
If you have to pay for it you have a say as far as Iām concerned, try to talk with her about other options
Iām not sure if your area offers a womenās pregnancy resource center (Choices) but I would recommend her speaking to someone there. At the end of the day, itās a big decision to make. She needs to be informed and educated on the decision she is making.

Abortion IS MURDER, youāre killing a child, a human beingā¦ give the baby up to adoption, but donāt murder it. She knew the consequences of having sex so she needs to deal with them.
Stop using the reasoning that other people canāt have babies means that she needs to have a baby her body her choice maybe her mom should have brought up sex openly and brought up birth control and protection either way its her body her choice.
She already made her decision, stick w/ her. Her mother should be supportive even though. Bc itās her body, it should be her choice!

I would speak to the doctor or social services they can probably put yous in touch with someone she can speak to and support the family. Itās her choice, for those saying adoption, she might not want to carry the baby full term, give birth hormones all over the place and give her child away, an abortion wonāt be easy for her either. If yous have a good relationship maybe have her stay for the weekend give her and her parents time to think, let her talk to you and just listen. My little cousin fell pregnant not much older than your neice sheās now a single mum to two kids at uni studying law, sheās a fantastic mum and doing really well for herself it hasnāt been easy but sheās got there

Im neither against or for abortions, but it is no ones choice but HERS. I got pregnant at 15, had my son at 16. He is now 19 yrs old, the most polite and respectful young man, works part time, is attending college for acting at a dramatic arts school in LA and has a wonderful life. I did it ALL on my own from age 16, so she can too if she puts her whole heart into it! My family tried making me abort him and I refused, and not ONE day goes by that I regret ever having him bc he is the light of my life, my whole world and my best friend. I often tell ppl he actually saved my life bc the path I was on, was not a good one and he straightened me out. He was what I needed! Please donāt choose for her, sit down with her and weigh out every option bc it could be a blessing in disguiseā¦

If the 17 year old wants one, the mom needs to support that decision.
Iām just here to say sheād be such a great candidate for adoption. She then would still have the opportunity to continue life how she planned and potentially connect with the baby and family in the future. We JUST adopted. And a teen mom would have been one of my first choices in a birth mother. They have so much potential and will do great things.

I feel like if she wants one she should get one but I would explain options also. Closed adoption, open adoptions etcā¦ Before hand. Adoption is not the same as being put in foster care. If she still doesnāt want to go through with the experience of pregnancy then I would respect her decision.
Iād give her a list of all the places she can go(planned parenthood) for advice.
I was pregnant at 16 and there wasnāt a doubt in my mind I was keeping the baby! Let her have all the facts before she makes that life altering choice that can never be taken back. In my opinion I feel adoption is always better than abortion and gives her more time to embrace what being a young mom would mean for herā¦

Sheās a young adult, capable of making life changing decisions. No one should force her either way. Itās her life that will be affected, either way.
Help educate her on all options; abortion, adoption, or carrying and raising the child. Find help in the area if need be to navigate this time, and the time moving forward. But ultimately, it needs to be left up to her.
Lastly; HER BODY, HER CHOICE.

For all those who keep saying adoption.
How can you really ask a 15 year old to put her body through that when she doesnāt want to?
To ask her to grow a child she doesnāt want to appease others?
To give birth to a child to give it away?
Easy enough to say āgive it up for adoptionā but think about what it takes to have a baby and what your body has to handle, physically, emotionally and mentally.
This is a 100% no brainer of her body, her choice.
You cannot ask someone to go through a pregnancy purely because you do not agree with termination.

This one is a hard one for me I am so pro life and they are way too many people out there who want kids and canāt have kids . I know it is her body her choice but she also chose to be sexually active .

I donāt believe in abortion, she could have the baby and give it up for adoption. There are plenty of women out there who canāt have babies who would love to have babies or men who canāt have babies and would love to have babies.

She made the decision to have sex at this young age. So she has every right to make the adult decision as to what she wants to do with the baby. Raise her/him, abort, or adopt. And no one should pressure her into any of the decisions because she is the one that will be affected by it for the rest of her life.

I had my son young and it was hard my parents were very supportive about the situation i chose keep him because even though i wasnt ready i couldnt live with my other two options i come from a very religious family and it was hard i never got help from the dad i had to learn all alone because my parents were there and helped but he was my child im glad because he gave me life

If she thinks sheās old enough to spread her legs and have sex sheās old enough to take responsibility for the outcome. That her body her choice shit doesnāt fly with me. I have a sixteen year old daughter. If she decides she wants to have sex and get pregnant while still living under my roof there is no way she is keeping that baby. Iām still supporting my baby that chose to make an adult decision. If she chooses to keep it she needs to be grown and get a job and get out of my house so she can support her baby. I would still be there to help guide her but Iām not raising two babies!
What does SHE want? Listen to her and guide her. Thatās seriously all you can do.
