Normally I am a pro-lifer but not in this case.
It's obvious the girl made a poor choice. It's situations where the parent/parents are adults, neglect to use BC, get pregnant, and then find a baby would be inconvenient. Is this a co-ed foster home? What are they putting young teenage kids (and their newly found hormones) together for?
This girl probably does not have the physical development necessary to carry this fetus to full term. It is a big risk that she would miscarry anyway or even suffer complications that could put her in harms way. What is DCF gonna do if the girls dies or had serious trouble in childbirth? Are they gonna be there by her side? I would be surprised.
I can fully understand the girls fears. I hope they don't wait too long. The farther along the fetus gets the more risky the abortion would be.
