And I most sincerely wonder if that is not the primary "level" for her: just as getting the abortion in the first place.
Further, I find the idea a girl old enough to get pregnant, in this society, is a naïf....laughable.
“just as getting the abortion in the first place. “
Well lets see...She was somewhere between the ages of 15 to 17. So yes her maturity rate was not very high. She is pregnant and in trouble so she is not thinking strait. She like many girls her age are thinking “my parents are going to kill me for getting pregnant”. Yes some parents my toss her out of the house but more than likely they will be just disappointed. She is also thinking “I can’t not pay for this baby if I do have it” She does not know help is out there, she is only a teen she does not know more than the local record store and movie house. Does not matter either way on all accounts because Planned Parenthood feeds into these fears, tells her lies to get her money for the abortion.
How on earth can you expect a child to think like an adult in an adult situation? What is worse she went to the very people she was told she could trust and now, years later she knows what you and I have known all along. IF only she had gone to a place like “Birthright” or another crisis pregnancy center they could have helped her, if anything to help her calm down! Most of all if only she could have told the very people in the world who were put on this earth to love and help her: her parents.
