Your post is perhaps the most disturbing one I've read and my gut reaction is no mother could be so controlling and disturbing.
I do love how it would be unfair to the child.....more unfair than abortion?
Please.
TFP has a lot of dysfunctional family people, and dysfunctional people in general. Any of you wish you were aborted to be fair to you?
Give me a break on this sophistry. Its nothing to do with fairness to the child, its convenience to the mother, or in this case apparently the grandmother.

It has nothing to do with age. It has to do with (in case you missed it) Planned parenthood. It has to do with her having a child because she wants to not because she thinks it will enhance a bad life or worse yet a bad relationship. It has to do with her knowing herself and giving herself time to enjoy her adult life, because once that child is born, she won't have her life if she is being a proper parent till the child is well past 10 years old. It has to do with truly valuing child/children and the parenting that goes with it.
As for the fairness of abortion, not a day goes by that I don't wish my parents had aborted me as my grandmother thought they should have. Nothing to do with me as I wasn't me yet. It had to do with my parents still wanting so much more for themselves that my grandmother feared the kids would be neglected as "mom" was only having kids to try to keep "dad," and she was also determined that she would not be a "mother" because she (my mother) believed that "mothers" were stupid. She never intended on caring for us in the least. And "dad" hated children, never wanted any, only stayed because back then that's what was done. He beat us regularly in the same styles as the recently found little girl's body, Riddley, in Texas. Since my brother is a junkie, well, you make the call. I believe and have experienced things worse than death and so has he.
