If thew girl was raped and she does not want the baby then abortion might be the first choice as well as in the case where the girl was in school and it would mean that she could not continue schooling. If she could not continue schooling then she might be someone that taxes would have to help her instead of her paying taxes like most of us.
I believe that the antiabortionist should be made to (out of their own pockets) pay for the up bringing of unwanted babies that go unadapted.

If the girl does not want to be pregnant, then your answer to the question is obvious, but if you expand that to mean she does not want the baby, then there can be more than one answer. It would have been better to rephrase the question.
I would advise her to give the baby up for adoption. Since she does not want the baby anyway, the adoptive parents will love her without the fear that the birth mother will show up. Most birth mothers who were forced to give up their children start to see their children in those that resemble them and are about the same age, but when a birth mother did not want the child in the first place, she may show up if there is a medical emergency like a kidney transplant, but she will not take the affection of the child away from the adoptive parents. Besides it is the nice thing to do and the girl will know the baby went to a good home.

I think that a girl that has an unwanted pregnancy should consider adopting her baby. the baby would then be given a chance in life of being loved and wanted in another family. If the girl was a teenager she could carry on studying after the adoption and get on with her life. A girl that was horrified when she found out she was pregnant might discuss this with her boyfriend and find that he was supportive. He might be there for her at the birth and they might bring the baby up together. Alternatively the girl's boyfriend might hate the idea of the pregnancy and encourage her to have an abortion. This would not be something I would consider. I think abortion is wrong but I respect other people's feelings on this. The girl might want and then have a termination but years later she might regret this. No amount of money or regret would bring the baby back. So perhaps if the girl does not come to terms with being a parent then adoption is better for her and the baby not to mention the people adopting and at last getting a little baby to love and care for.

it is a controversial issue. there r chances of accidental rape only if there exists some degree of harrasment etc.. (rape). if it occurs to happen with boyfriend or someone dear then it cant be called an accident...it's due to improper planning and carelesses. whatsoever the reason is, in case of a teen or immature girl, the problem is severe- it would b difficult to adopt a baby. considering abortion a sin, one should try to adopt the kid with mutual understanding with some friend or relative.... ofcourse there are many good people to help you out....

Then she should do what she wants to do whether that be abort it, keep it, or adopt it out. There is no right or wrong answer here. She may be strong enough to carry it to term and then give it away. She may be strong enough to keep it or she may opt for an abortion. No answer is wrong. She should do what SHE wants to do and n ot be influenced by some outside source into doing something she'll regret or that will mess up her life forever.

at this age of mine, and at this time people mostly are open minded... for me even if it's just by accident, you must take the responsibility, must have courage and will to raise a child.... i remember this korean drama entitled "wonderful life", about unwanted pregnancy.

" must have courage and will to raise a child.... "
Sorry. I'll never have the courage or will to raise a child. It's not something I want to do, ever.

If the girl has an unwanted pregnancy they can consider the choses of abortion or adoption.
