Redhed, Artlady: I apologise if I used this as a chat forum disregarding the reputation system.
However, suggesting that the girl take counseling with Planned Parenthood seems to me to at least imply abortion. No way they are going to tell her to keep it, and they aren't great at promoting adoption, either. Check their main page.
as j_9 stated, delivering the baby at her age may be more dangerous than abortion. it's always possible for medical procedures to go wrong but if she went to an experienced doctor an abortion might be the safer option. i'm not saying that she should have an abortion or put the baby up for an adoption. what she decides to do is entirely up to her. but i do believe that she should be well informed about all of her options. whether she decides to keep it, have the baby adopted, or go for an abortion she should be well informed. whatever she decides to do, its going to be a life altering choice and she needs all the information she can get to make her choice.
younghyperlink, planned parrenthood doesnt ONLY offer abortion. i agree, that they do actively advocate it, but its not the only thing they offer.
they offer adoption information, and once the baby is born she can get on birthcontroll with them and take classes to help her learn more about safe sex.
Wow,what a pickle.
I dont think she's considered abortion or adoption..
And just to make this clear Im not going against expert advice(J_9) but Im sure there has also been many succesful deliveres at her age?I know were all just trying to talk sense into her but I think were scaring the living day lights out of her.A bit of scared is good but shes already worried sick about her parents.
What do you want to do shannon?
Are you sure you can handle this?Without your parents?No financial help?Your boyfriends 15..Hes not going to around forever.Im not saying you shouldnt keep your baby,Im saying you should think of the welfare of your baby,because at 15 with a baby and no parents,I cant see it being all ok as your ill infomed boyfriend may think.
The bottom line is that the damage is done. There is no easy way out, or "right" answer at this point. Regardless of what they decide , it's going to impact this young girl for the rest of her life. GOD bless this situation.
holly, yes, i agree there probably have been plenty of successful births to 15 year olds. but that doesn't change the medical fact that there can be increased risks for her at her age.
and youhyperlink, that's fine that you're against planned parenthood but this isn't the place for a debate over it. i've seen plenty of church groups emphasize and promote NOT having abortions. it only seems right that there's going to be another side promoting them.
