I would make sure my son or daughter made a decision that he/she could live with. I believe there is no worse and cruel judge than one's self. I would help in any way, but the choice and consequences will ultimately weight upon him/her.
If it was my son, I would make sure he fulfills his duty to provide for and help with the girl he got pregnant, whatever choice they decide. If my daughter told me she was pregnant, I would damn straight make sure the guy that got her pregnant did all he can to help her and provide for her with her decision. Legally of course, regardless of my frustration at the situation.
An ex girlfriend and I once mused about what our kids would be like. This ultimately lead to the topic of pregnancy and abortion. She told me something that weighed heavily on me. "If I got pregnant, I would have an abortion. I would never tell you." I realized how much such knowledge would in deed weigh upon me. I would not be able to live with myself. That's why I'd make sure they can accept the consequences of their actions.

We all came from there, didn't we? We all ended here, didn't we? I am not going to argue abortion. I've already explained my sentiments on it, and those sentiments are not shared universally. Sometimes it is the only option. I just can't believe it would be an option faced by my self and my SO.
