It's pretty bleak how many people see pregnancy as a divine punishment for women who "misbehave." I don't know about you all, but I don't think forcing irresponsible young women to raise babies that they can't afford and never wanted in the first place is a great idea. I don't think most people who tell pregnant teenage girls to "accept responsibility" and make motherhood their #1 priority actually believe it will lead to the best results. They want her to be punished for daring to have s*x, and not allowing her to have any choice in her future puts her in her place. I understand that a lot of people feel negatively about abortion, but adoption should surely be an option for a pair of 15-year-olds who have their whole futures ahead of them. The parents of the pregnant teen in this story don't see adoption as an option.
