Or adoption...

Statistically speaking, marriage is way more likely to **** OP's daughter in the long run than abortion is, especially given the girl's age. Abortion is not the traumatic event religious screeds would have you believe...besides, as already pointed out, those are NOT the only options.

Abortion is traumatic to a young body.

136, You know it's just religious people who are against abortion, right? I know a pro-life atheist.

yes i think after all it's good for father to be granpa .. i agree

OMG, did you seriously just say that the possible father has no right to even know about his possible baby but he MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I agree that he must take responsibility but to say he isn't allowed to know if you don't want the baby but he must take responsibility if you do want the baby it is low. Why would you do that as a good person? I get that the father has no right to make the choice for her but he is still the possible father and because of that should be included in the proces and listened to at the very least.

Actually, 107, I believe 91 was simply stating that the OP should deal with the daughter first, before talking to the possible fathers.

Sorry, but no-- having a baby is not the most "amazing" thing or most "important" thing you will ever do with your life, seriously. If it is for you, okay then-- but definitely not at all for me and certainly other people. I love viewing life as having more meaning and importance than to simply become a baby receptacle. Maybe if you have a very shallow and superficial existence you think this way, but I want to contribute positive change to this world, instead of just adding to the overpopulation problem the world already had...

To 160... I get your point, having a baby isn't for everyone and just because you don't have one doesn't mean you haven't done anything important. But I think you're being a little touchy. First of all, their comment isn't just addressed to women (as you imply in your comment about baby receptacle and so on) because they mentioned being a parent is a gift, and that includes fathers. They never said having a baby is all women are good for. Secondly, you say it's ok that they have their opinion and you have the right to your own, but then contradict yourself by immediately call them shallow and superficial for their opinion, and imply that having a baby is only a negative thing (and by the way, depending on where you live, overpopulation may not really be an issue). In conclusion, I totally understand your opinion (I agree babies are not all that humanity is good for) but I think you were way too critical, because to some people having a baby is the most important thing and you don't have to insult them to disagree with them.

Yeah, I know. :/ I was harsh-- I just get so many comments from people, many times directly aimed at me in real life, that I should be having kids and otherwise (as a young professional) I'm wasting my life. It's an issue I do get rather touchy about, so I do apologize. People have their own goals in life, so I don't wanna bash them. It's just personal experience and seeing people I grew up with prematurely having kids unexpectedly that they can't support but still purport it to be the "best" thing that has happened to them (not thinking about the hardships they will all face...) and then criticizing me for not happily joining the bandwagon... *sigh*

I know that feel, pengin.

I'm not exactly sure what was going through your head while writing this comment... BF actually stands for BOYfriend, and a female can't impregnate another female. My God, some people.

Her BF is her Best Friend, a Girl who had a gender change at 11 and was previously a boy. She didn't know this as they had sex in the dark. The BF did the insertion and *BAM* pregnancy happens. *sits back with box of popcorn and waits*

Oh, I understand now. Best friend makes much more sense. My comment is still valid, though. Just ignore the boyfriend part. And as for you, 170, I just read "Her BF is her best friend", the rest was utter nonsense.

It was a joke. Learn to read and have some imagination.

Or you could say parents get worse and worse every day... Also you do realize that the rate of teenage pregnancy has being on the decline for a while now. We are just not as afraid to talk about it

True! Finally somebody with common sense. Thank you!

Yeah because parents are getting worse and worse. If I did half the crap kids do nowadays, I wouldn't be here writing this comment.
