I’m not sure if it’s the parents hate or concern about their life style. We know too many people who as they are about to retire find themselves raising their grandchildren while their children become worthless slobs. What they should be addressing is whether to raise this child or give it up for adoption. This is the decision they all need to make. Having a baby is a 9 month affair. Raising a child is an eighteen year endeavor.

This is an issue that has not received the attention it deserves. Parents may just want the problem to go away without stopping to think of the mental trauma it will cause for a lifetime for the girl. Much more attention must be focused on the mental well-being of the young girl. It is only nine months after all. After that, if need be, the infant can be placed in an adoption setting. It is much better, every which way, for a young mother to know her child is living and being cared for than for her to have allowed the killing of her own flesh and blood.
