Well, she definitely shouldn't kill her baby. If she doesn't feel ready to parent or doesn't have the help she needs to do so, she can place her baby for adoption. If you or someone you know is thinking about aborting a baby, here's some information you should see:

I think that's a decision that can only be made by that pregnant teen, her doctor, and her parents. If she chooses to have an abortion, she'll be faced with the physical risks and scars one presents. She'll also be faced with the emotional trauma that comes from people who believe abortion is wrong at all costs, and from her own experience and doubts she may encounter later about having the abortion. If she keeps the baby, she will be faced with new physical demands and her pregnancy will be high-risk. The baby may have problems during the pregnancy, birth, and possibly beyond due to these risks, as will the mother, depending on how it goes. Once the baby is born, she will need support in order to raise the baby and complete her own education. The other option would be to give the baby for adoption, which also presents those physical risks involved in a high-risk pregnancy and other emotional issues she will be faced with during and after the pregnancy. It's not an easy decision; it's one that must be made with great care and with the support of open-minded, trusting individuals to help her reach the decision that will be right for her.

Ok a 13-14 year old should not be having sex, where are her parents? But that is a different subject.
It is a bad situation for such a young girl to be pregnant but if she is old enough to have sex she needs to follow through and take the responsibility of her actions. What is it saying that go ahead and kill the baby b/c of being immature. She was obviously mature enough to make the baby! I have a friend who was pregnant at 14 had baby at 15 finished school, and she is just fine and so is her son. She had a lot of help from her family and I know having her son was the best thing that happened to her. Good luck.

I think it depends, at 13-14 your body might not be prepared to carry a child for nine months and then deliver it. There are also emotional as well as physical side effects involved with both having an abortion and a child. And an adoption, which seems to be the best solution here can be absoltutely heart-wrenching. Imagine having a child and then never knowing what its first word was? Or when he/she took his/her first steps, when they got their first tooth, and so many other things. I think it all depends on the girl's physical, emotional, and financial state, and how much her family/ the child's father supports her. I don't think someone that young should be raising a child on her own.

i don't believe that 13-14 year olds should be experimenting with sex period!! you are at a wonderful time in your life, and you will be experiencing SO many things! mistakes happen and if there is a pregnancy, i feel that it is important for the mom-to-be to have some support, usually family. many times everyone can help out when the baby is born. if the burden of a baby is too much for the mom and family, there are alot of couples out there that can't have a baby of their own. adoption is a great alternative. but NO ABORTION!!

Most 13-14 year old girls are totally incapable of financially and emotionally providing for a child all on her own. Most 13-14 year old girls cannot even financially provide for themselves, even.
Every state in the union has child labor laws on the books and are usually enforced.
Two choices:
Either carry the infant full term and give it up for adoption, or get an abortion.
Then have her get a new hobby.

Keep the baby, by no means you want a guilty concience, I think there is a lot of help out there for girls in trouble, and a lot of support will be needed for you to take life challenges, I think a solution would be to give the baby for adoption because raising a baby is an 18 year commitment/responsibility which you might not be ready for; at least you do what is morally right, and will make other couple happy if they can not conceive and you will not have regrets, Do what is right no more mistakes that will scar you for life, take care.

This is really sad.A 13-14 year old girl should not be having sex or even worried about abortions. Clearly this is a failure of the parents...A child can not raise a child, and the best option would be adoption.

Oh my what a difficult situation with no easy answer. Even more difficult to answer in yahoo land.....it isn't a black or white question and the answer is even more complex. There are many options to consider but most of them depend on the people involved, their belief systems, their support systems, their health and the list goes on. The best advice I can give to you is to talk to either a parent, teacher, counsellor, doctor if you find yourself unable to talk to any of those people there are hot lines that you can call 24 hours a day no matter where you live. They can get some very important answers that will then let them guide you in the right direction or at least provide you with what your options are given the circumstances. Unfortunately many people can advise but there is only one person who can make the decision and it needs to be the decision that is best for them because they have to live with that decision for the rest of their lives. Please find someone you trust and talk to them!
Take Care

Yes they should keep there babies. They did what they did so no need to punish the baby...I know a woman who got pregnant at 12 and had her baby at 13...she never regrets it either...Theres just things u dont do..and abortion whether u are very young or not is one of those things.
