It is her baby and she has a right to keep her baby. As parents, as her being so young should be supportive in her decision and help her keep the baby if that is her choice. To force her to give her baby up when she does not want to will cause a fight on your hands that you do not want. This is just my own personal opinion.

Comments on this post
wynelle agrees: The man is asking what the legal rights are in this situation. Not the moral or ethical issues. How is a 14 year old girl supposed to support a child? Obviously she isn't. She expects the parents to support the child. What is best for the baby?

She could try to become emaciated for starters. She might run away with the baby.

Couple suggestions:

1) Make her have an abortion
2) Talk with her. Don’t order her to give up the child, convince her, but don’t ORDER her. She is going to give birth, treat her with some respect. That is, treat her as an adult, not a child. Find a couple and introduce them to her. Let her get to know them, help her to change her mind up adoption. Let this couple give her some sob story about how they can’t have children for whatever reason, and they would take good care of the child, etc.

Comments on this post
AKaeTrue disagrees: The father did not ask about abortion
GenomeX agrees: Get her an abortion
starryeyed disagrees: Forcing someone to have an abortion is not respecting them as a human - she may be 14, but she's still a person who has to live with herself... I have no problem with abortion, but forced abortion will scar the daughter and the family relationship.
Vicky_27 disagrees: she is not the family pet - you can't just 'get her an abortion'. She is a person with feelings ( probably very scared right now) and they need to be thought about also - very delicate situation.
Leidenschaftlich für Wahr disagrees: Make her have an abortion?! Are you serious? Im not even going to say what Im thinking right now....

The parents have no right to force her to have an abortion either.

True.

But if she thinks the child is defective she might. Who knows.

My advice is still to treat her as an adult, not as a child. As much as you see her as a kid, treating her as adult here will get her to be more responsive here.

Her parents are talking about FORCING HER. For adoption. For Abort. They sound very controlling and this they can not control and they need to be True Real Parents and support her and help her with her new child. She wants to keep her baby and that is her choice. If her parents start forcing her or demanding things then they will lose a daughter for sure and a grandchild.

As the other posted (defective ) regardless everything has a right to life, and it is her choice not yours, i did not realize there was more to your other post.

Shame on you.

Based on your other post in the other thread, I can now see why she wants to keep the child. Perhaps to prove that she can be a better parent than you.

You talk of wanting to cause your daughter bodily harm! Disgusting

Yes. I do.

I don't always look at who the poster is, I rather just answer the question.

And in this case, I didn't realize that the same person posted those 2 posts.
