Getting pregnant in high school – a moral dilemma?

             First off, let me just say, that getting pregnant in high school just isn't a good idea. Probably most people agree on that. Clear enough, a accidental baby is the worst thing that can happen, but what if a girl really wanted a child of her own?
             The common result in giving birth at a young age is getting thrown out of school for both of the parents, unless they study hard, which is quite impossible unless you're a genius. If you haven't got a proper education, you will not get a proper job. Later on, the only income in the family is a low-paid job, too low to support yourself and a kid. The child will have a bad chance getting good grades in school, that's the way things work. So, in a few words, an early baby will ruin the whole family, wouldn't you say so yourself? There are always exceptions, maybe the girl IS a genius and manages to attend and study properly in school, at the same time supporting the baby enough. I that very rare case, maybe a baby would be a nice idea, since everyone would like a young mother, rather than a big old sack of boredom.
             In the worse case the male parent will abandon the mother. I'd say abortion is a very good option in that case. There is no way only one parent could manage that on side of all the other things waiting to be done.
             I read a few stories about under aged abortions, and I was very surprised to see, that there sere so many people who regretted abortion. I read a few of them, and I have to say that they didn't regret it because they thought they could handle it. The only reason that they do regret it is that they rushed in to it. Without thinking much, abortion seemed like a good option. In my honorable opinion, most of them would have done what they did, even if they would have thought it trough and trough.
             Then again, I'm a man, I haven't thought about that topic much, since I will not get pregnant, now will I. But I certainly will ...
