I wouldn't force her to get an abortion or have the baby. I would let her make the decision since its a decision she will have to live with for the rest of her life. And whatever she decided I would support her and be there for her.

I myself was pregnant at 15 and scared out of my mind. I told my mom because I didn't know where else to go or what to do.She took the news with a large amount of shock but remained calm. She then told me that I had two choices,
1) keep the baby and then move out
2) have an abortion
she did however say that this is your choice, I'll be here for you but I think it's in your best interest to not have the baby.
I decided to have an abortion, and it was hard but I have no regrets.
I'm now married and planning to start a family and looking back feel that I made the right choice, and now I'm at a point where I'm able to provide and really enjoy motherhood.

I'd talk to her about all 3 of her choices. I'd ask her some questions about children, how would she take care of it? How will she pay for diapers and clothes and food? How would she manage school will middle of the night feedings and lack of sleep? Where would the child be during school hours? How will she get a job if she has a kid to take care of? How will she afford day care if she doesn't have a job?
People keep saying "If she's old enough to have sex, she's old enough to take care of a kid." That's not true. A 15 year old girl can't drive or get a job. She's still in school also. How will she be able to pay for daycare? Food? Diapers? Clothes? She won't be able to and more likely than not the 15 year old's parents will end up having to take care of the baby and paying for everything.
I'd also talk to her about how life will change completely afterwards if she has the baby and she won't be able to go out and hang with friends because she decided to have a child. I'd also tell her it's her responsibility and that she won't be allowed to put the stress on me, her mom, to take care of it. I wouldn't force her to have an abortion but I WOULD talk to her about it and the option of adoption. I'd explain to her everything it takes to take care of a child. If she was totally against having an abortion I'd probably push adoption. 15 is too young to have a kid! She can't even drive or get a job! She'd go to school then take care of the kid when she got home and wouldn't even be able to do homework. Since she wouldn't be able to get a job, she wouldn't be able to take care of the kid properly either and I would make it clear that I was not going to take the role as a mom and take care of it for her.
In this day and age kids are having sex way too young. I wouldn't have my head in the clouds thinking my daughter would stay a virgin until she was 20. So I'd talk to her once she started high school about whether or not she's sexually active and talk to her about going on birth control. Not only to prevent pregnancy but to help with regulating her periods and help any skin problems she had.

It is easy to say make her pay for her actions but who is really going to pay? At 15 she is barley old enough to get a permit to work at Mc Donald's, let alone bring in a stable income with a well paying job. I would not make my daughter have an abortion, but I would be prepared to take on 99% of the financial burdon of having this new grandbaby.

No, I don't believe in killing the innocent. The only reason an abortion would even be considered (for me or if I had a daughter) would be if there was some medical reason that the mother might be in danger health-wise.

I myself, do not oppose to abortion. Therefore i would not force my daughter to have one. Losing a child for your future is the worst thing that can happen to a mother. I would not want to inflict any pain on my daughter in her future etc. so therefore i would not force her to have an abortion, but to take the child into my home or give it up for adoption, which ever suits her.

I wouldn't like the situation but it is not the baby's fault. No I would not force her to get an abortion.

No I wouldnt. But, I would help her to make the choice to give the child up for adoption. Ive been there done that and I know what a gift it can be when you can not care for your own child. My hope would be that going through the pregnancy would keep her on the stright after it was over.

Unfortunately no, it,s against my christian belief. Best thing to do is work things out and maybe get the grandparents of the soon to be born baby involved. We have enough people out their killing babies and pregnant mothers..don't take another life.
