Also , how much of a risk on her body can pregnancy possiby be? Yes, 13 is young to get pregnant but throghout history it has certainly happened more than a few times. Abortion however is a pretty hardcore procedure, certainly more damaging than pregnancy.
I agree, however , if it was deemed that this pregnancy put her in mortal danger then by all rights she should have the abortion. For any other reason I would be against it, hell I think 9 months of pregnancy would probobly do her alot of good, teach her that her actions have consequences.
You say Noone at 13 should have to go through a pregnancy , I say that noone at 13 should have to through an abortion.

She is still in, I believe an early stage of pregnancy. The abortion procedure will be magnitudes simpler than going through a pregnancy.
How much of a risk? A responsible GROWN woman will take special vitamins for a year and a half before getting pregnant. This is because pregnancy saps huge amounts of vitamins, amino acids, and minerals from her body.
Especially important are Calcium for her still developing bones and folic acid.
Folic acid is even more important, but for both the mother and child. For the fetus a deficiency can cause problems, including neural tube defects, arm and leg malformation, heart defects, and cleft palate and lips.
For the mother Folic Acid deficiencies early on can cause anemia, brain disorders, and increase likelyhood of contracting cervical and colon cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease
This girl is 13 and a ward of the state. I guarantee you her Folic acid is seriously deficient.
Forcing her to go through with this will put her body through immense hell. There's a reason female life spans were abysmal before the modern age.
