Oh, good grief, people!
How did this suddenly turn to attacking the 15 year old girl who wrote the original post?
Just because "older people" know so much more than teenagers, does that mean that teens don't have a right to post their opinions? This is the TEEN PREGNANCY board, after all? Should all teens feel afraid to say what they're thinking here because some 40 year old is going to yell at them for being too young? Give me a break!
jmgirl, I'm sorry that people seem to be taking this so out of context. You posted something that you learned that you thought to be interesting and useful, especially since it seemed to change your ideas about aborting a baby conceived in rape. It's nice to hear that they're telling people that becoming pregnant because of a rape does not mean that you have to abort that child. I've heard stories of many women who wanted to keep their child but aborted it because that's what they were told they had to do to heal from being raped. The point is, there are other options, and I appreciate you pointing them out.
