A father and mother should counsel their daughter what to do after having unprotected sex that could result in pregnancy. And if the daughter is under 18, it should be more than just "counsel." And these moral line drawing discussions are a waste b/c it is all so individualistic (your response to BYU71). WTH? There goes any critical thought for you on any meaningful topic.

I agree with you there, it is the womans choice. I would say in the case of a married couple, the man should have some say, but that debate is for another day. I guess I missed where anyone was suggesting the woman be forced into not having an abortion. |

In reality, I wager a larger portion would educate their daughters about the consequences probably shading the information or encouraging their daughters to pursue one course or another. The ethical hair splitting is not very pragmatic. If I had a daughter who encountered that situation and she desired my opinion, I would provide the comfort she needed, inform her of her options, make them feel safe while bringing out the ethical consequences. But in short, if a person is unintentionally pregnant, at what point does she feel comfortable terminating the pregnancy and at what point does she not. That is a personal decision and it seems odd for men to judge a woman who must make that decision, most times, alone. I can see why a girl who gets has unprotected sex on a one night stand would like to ensure no pregnancy results. The pregnancy is unplanned and undesired, and medical science can now make non-invasive. Saying some get to live with the consequences and should carry the zygote to term whereas some will not become impregnated through mere fortuitous circumstances seems a bit sterile and unfair. But a woman chooses to allow the process to proceed to pregnancy, then so be it as well.
