Pregnant Teen Wins Abortion Battle

82. The parents were not wrong to make the girl

get a job. If she wants to have a child then she is going to have to support it. If they want to assist her, give her cloth diapers which will be better for the environment in the long run and she can learn to clean them. When the time comes, buy her a food processor and let her make her own baby food (which in the long run is cheaper then buying all those little jars of baby food and better for the environment).

If they want to assist her, they can choose not to do so with cash. They can find a small studio apartment and pay the rent and utilities until she is 18. They do not have to provide her with a phone, cable, internet, TV, computer, cell phone, and any other electronic toys. The do not have to provide her with child daycare for the baby. My sister got pregnant in her last year of high school which crushed my Dad. She did marry her boyfriend and they are still together more then 40 years later. My parents helped them with college and just the basics of life - no frills. They did just fine. Baby #2 came 1 year later. It took my sister 10 years but she finally got her college degree.

The girl needs to prove to everyone that she is responsible. She played and now she has to pay the proverbial piper. Regarding the car, if the girl did not buy the car why should she have a right to it? Using a car that you do not own is a privilege not a right. I have no problem with the parents taking away her cell phone if they were the ones paying the bill. Unless she wanted to pay the bill, the cell phone was a privilege not a right.
