The alternative would be for some agency, ideally a private foundation run by the moral or conscientous objectors to the availability of abortion - to guarantee adoptive placement in a good home.

Of course, more than money is at stake. And more than money is required to deal with the issue. It takes heck of a lot of work, in addition to the money, of course.

So things are getting just a wee bit little more complex than simply shouting slogans and waving placards, ain't they?! ;-)

A college girl needs to focus entirely on her studies in order to get the sort of degree and GPA that makes for a career.

We are assuming here that all her focus was on her studies as she got pregnant? Wonder what she was studying?

and torpedo any try at a higher education.
An abortion would be an obvious choice here


Oh yes it is very obvious that education much more important than life here. I know mothers that are attending college. Hard? You bet, but they chose that route when they chose to "get pregnant" ANd they accept it.

I can not speak for around the world, but in the US there are many that do that.

Just two here.

Then our high school senior gets her life back - for the price of an unwanted and very humbling pregnancy. betcha she won't engage in risk behavior again... until she wants a child!

It is a truth that some high school seniors have no business raising any child, but surely not impossible. I know of two ladies personally that are raising children and going to high school, and are very good mothers. Unfortunately it is the MEN(boys) in these cases who ignore responsibility. It takes two to tango.

Still best birth control?? Just say NO! (both)

Happy Thanksgiving

Many churches have such a foundation, the Catholic Church and Lutheran to name a couple. They actually have a shortage of children. Of course that would mean both mother and child might have a good life and that idea seems to upset some here who would rather see the child dead rather than placed in a home where it's wanted.

Already being done. Privately, quietly, and somewhat effectively, but the easy availability of abortions (often without a parent's knowledge) makes the commitment to full-term pregnancy and delivery a very difficult choice for the girls.
