She went through with the abortion, her mom (my sis) signed the papers. She is very happy she is no longer labeled pregnant teenager. (She is 15)
Don't you think it was the right choice? (She does and so do i but my sister didn't want her to have an abortion because of whatever reasons she had about it)

I guess that is a very personal decision and I am glad she stuck to her convictions and did not let other people bully her into changing her mind. I, however, do hope she did it for the "right" reasons and not just because of what people would think of her. Raising a child i tough, especially at 15. She would have needed a lot of support. If that kind of support was not available, then perhaps it was the right decision.
Hope it doesn't happen again though. ;)

Young people make mistakes, and having a baby at 15 is not a very smart thing to do. With no income, no way to support a child, and school to finish, adoption or abortion are probably for the best. As long as it was the right thing to do in your neice's eyes, then it was the right thing. Maybe she should go on birth control, because most teens wont become abstinent after they've already started having sex, even after something like this.

I don't think it was the right decision. I think abortion is wrong. The girl is not taking responsibility for her actions and is killing an innocent child. There are plenty of infertile couples that would have loved to adopt her baby if she didn't want to keep it. She could have emotionally and physically scarred herself for life just so she won't be "labeled" as a pregnant teenager. HOWEVER, I do also agree that a woman has a right to choose for herself. I just hope for your niece's sake that she doesn't live to regret the decision she has made.

I sense something wrong here...
If you were so sure of your and your niece's attitude with this abortion, why are you asking total strangers? If you knew 100% that she was right in getting it, then nothing we say is going to make you or her feel better about the decision. Honestly, I think you should have stepped out and let her mother handle it. Do you have children? There is nothing worse then someone else telling you how to raise them. Are you going to be there to defend her 2nd or 3rd abortion? You're going to have to...you made it very clear that your bond with your niece is going to be on her terms. Shame on you. Not for agreeing with her, but going against your sister. And you not understanding why your sister didn't want it to happen...ya'll just killed her grandchild. Go have a coke and a smile.

It doesn't matter what anyone thinks at this point. the abortion is an accomplished fact. But if your sister didn't want her to have one, why did she sign the papers?
And what is your neice doing to ensure that she doesn't become a pregnant teenager again?

Whatever has happened, has happened, and it's over!
It's time for her to go on and rebuild her life. Just don't make
the same mistake again. She must have some sex education
and a birth control plan if she remains sexually active.
The choice was made- don't condemn that girl for the rest
of her life. She has a lot of life to live yet.

I think it is wrong. I do not think that abortions are right. It is taking an innocent child's life. And in most cases, the mother chose to have sex, therefore putting her at risk to become pregnant and if she chose to have sex, she should have to deal with the consequences of being pregnant.

This was a personal choice, albeit a difficult decision. It only concerns your niece and her nuclear family and the father of the baby.

It was her choice. There are other options like adoption but maybe she felt more comfortable not having her friends knowing she was pregnant to begin with.
