From http://www.ramahinternational.org/abortion.htm: Understand you have rights in an abortion
It is against the law for anyone to force you to have an abortion. Not even a husband or parent can require you to undergo an abortion against your will, even if you are a minor (under 18 years old). Pregnancy care centers exist to help you in any circumstance. We can help you discuss this choice with those closest to you that are influencing your decision. The law in many states also requires abortion providers to give you information on: 1) possible complications, 2) the development of the baby, and 3) organizations that provide alternatives to abortion.
This website offers information for women and girls in crisis pregnancies. Abortions are offered here:

My friend was forced to have an abortion as a teenager and it was the last time she ever spoke to her parents. I wish I knew where she was now. Another friend was forced to give her baby up for adoption and no longer speaks to her father. This is your daughter's choice to make, just as having sex was her choice (I assume). She may surprise you and make some excellent decisions. Remember that many parents think that it's a bad idea for their children to have babies. My in-laws hated the idea of us having babies, but we're doing great now, and they love my little girls. I know that her choices will affect your life, but that's OK. Let your daughter think now, so she can make a decision that SHE can live with.

Your mom can neither rigidity you to have an abortion nor rigidity you to place the newborn up for adoption. she will, even nevertheless, refuse to assist you anymore and placed you in foster care, which will particularly lots assure which you lose your infant. First issues first, take a being pregnant attempt. there is extremely no element bickering including your mom over what to do with a sprint one that could desire to no longer even exist. It takes all of 5 money and 3 minutes to make certain while you're pregnant. If it does prove which you're pregnant, it may well be clever so which you would be able to touch an adoption enterprise so which you will discover appropriate mothers and dads on your newborn. At your age, you're extremely no longer arranged to strengthen a newborn - particularly in the adventure that your mom can no longer assist you. you're purely a newborn your self, and you're actually not even the right age to get an entire - time job. Your infant merits grownup mothers and dads who're financially, bodily and emotionally waiting for parenthood. Please do the properly suited component. good good fortune.

No. She would have to have your consent in order to have an abortion, however you cannot force a medical procedure on her. If you attempted to do so, all she would have to do is state to a doctor or nurse that she does not want this done and they will have to stop.
I can only think of a few reasons to try to force your child to have an abortion and I certainly hope in this case you are not trying cover up a crime.

In many states a minor has to have parental consent to have an abortion, but I don't know of any where it is ok to force an abortion on the girl. The right to choose goes both ways.

NO!!!! You can't force your daughter to do anything and doing that would be illegal. Abortion is HER choice not her parent's. It sucks that she is a teenager and pregnant but if she wants to keep it her parents should be supportive of her. Now I don't mean her parents should support the child because the baby's father should do that but atleast try to be compasionate with her.
Its her responisbility and her choice to have the baby or giv eit up for adoption or have an abortion.

No. This is in my opinion something she would never get over. Even if it is legal, do you really want your grandbaby's blood on your hands? Do you really want your daughter to lose the one person in her life who she will love the most. It doesn't matter how the baby was conceived, it's a life now. A life that no one but God should be able to take. What about ADOPTION? There are millions of people who would love to be able to care for this baby, do you really beleive human life is disposable???

That sounds so brash........Have you at all explored the wonderful option of adoption instead???? I would hate for your daughter to hold that against you if you "forced" her to have an abortion. There are other options, and there are plenty of wonderful people out there just waiting to be parents.

To be honest i do not know but i know you shouldnt. If she wants to keep the baby she should be able to keep it. I know she is young and might not have the money to support it as much as you would like but wouldnt you feel guilty for killing a baby? killing your own grand-daughter or son? You can help her along.. plz do it for the child you will not regret it even if sometimes it would be hard.

You cant force anyone to do anything, your daughter or not. Be a mother and support her.
