If the girl hadn't (per Skooz) said that she wants to keep the baby, and is only having the abortion because the boyfriend's parents have set that as a condition for continuing to see him, I'd agree with you. But it sounds as if the family was desperately trying to convince the girl not to do something that SHE really doesn't want to do, knowing that her reasons for doing it are childish and will evaporate quickly, and will leave her with some serious regrets (and quite possibly some justifed anger at parents, along the lines of "why didn't you stop me?").

I don't think this girl wanted any baby until they started their counseling/propaganda. She specifically stated she would rather have an abortion than choose adoption. That's not wanting a baby. Personally I think the boy's parents are the only ones sensible in this whole ordeal. Their kid is only 16 years old for cryin out loud. Why create a baby to full term when you don't have to. I don't believe for a minute she really wanted a baby at this time or she would've never went through with it. If you have to convince someone to want something, they don't really want it. Secondly by having this baby should could be changing fate, she may never meet her future rich husband and have the gorgeous triplets she was suppose to have. If she gets married to this idiot she will probably end up with nothing and her aborted fetus would end up being a dangerous criminal. What ifs are just that, this so called baby never existed anymore than a woman's egg she loses every month is a potential baby. Besides there is no way to know if the pregnancy would've went along to full term without miscarrying anyways. It was just a maybe baby.

Secondly constantly making statements like murder and dead baby is mental abuse. It is unhealthy to tell women this, that is why many women become so confused with self loathing, they crack up later in life. Just like those girls think they're fat because some boy said they were so they starve themselves to death. Many of the people in mental wards have serious religious obsessions that usually had to do with their family.

Here is some real good advice and that should've happened long ago and this whole ordeal would've been just a bad dream. Just the fact alone that she's living with grandparents is a RED FLAG! I really don't know but the family situation is obviously messed up which is a precursor to young girls getting knocked up. I doubt this girl has ever been to a gyno appointment. She should've been dragged there once she started dating. Once girls start having sex they're suppose to go for the pap test and checkups every year anyways. All girls should be dragged there once they start dating because hormones + love = sex. Virginity pledges go out the window the minute they think they're in love because the boys convince them that should have sex or else they will break up. They will continue to have sex that's a given. While she's there she should get a std test because this young cassanova probably has been around and have her doctor counsel her on responsible sex and get her on any number of hormone method which are like 99.8 as long as she takes them EXACTLY. They have the patch now which you put on once a week. Along with the the hormonal birth control she should be using several backup methods. A condom should be used everytime anyways or other over the counter methods and it will be a cold day in hell before she gets knocked up. This boy obviously doesn't want anything to do with a condom so it's up to her and he probably convinces her to do anything and everything his way.
