You have a good point. I have thought about this before. Girls who choose to continue their pregnancies have a stigma upon them, when so many of their counterparts are killing their children with no one knowing about it. Whereas teen pregnancy can certainly be unfortunate, I admire those girls much more than the ones who abort. I suppose the statistics that show that religious teens have abortions at higher rates than non-religious teens are a result of the religious teens continuing to want to be able to "appear" pure. We all should make an effort to treat pregnant teens and young mothers with respect.

She notes that, because she is young and pregnant, she is sometimes
looked down upon worse than a drug addict. I don't doubt her for a
second. For a supposed "pro-choice" nation, the lack of support for
people who choose to be parents is deplorable.
