My friend is preggers

A friend of mine has recently found out she is with child, sounds like a good thing right?
Well to here it isn't the greatest, where I think it is wonderful news.

She may abort it.

But I can't judge her or really tell her what to do because it is her body, not mine. Her reasons make sense at least. She's working a minimum waged job at a fast food place, the father isn't with her nor does he want it, she isn't in a steady place to call home, and she hasn't been living healthily for the baby's development. I can understand her reasons, she originally planned on getting on birth control but was until she found out how expensive it could be. I really scratch my head sometimes though. If you didn't want a baby, then why did you risk the unprotected sex? She told me before that the baby's father did the pull out method well,..apparently not well enough.

A good amount of people have there opinions on abortions, if it should be legal or not, if it's wrong or not. But in the end it is that person's decision to rid themselves of a baby or not. And whatever they choose, they will have to deal with in the end. It's either be on your way or really try yourself and push yourself to be a parent. But all people's situation is different when getting an abortion.

In my opinion (don't kill me for it) I think a person should get an abortion if when the father of the child forced themselves upon the mother, or if there are health reasons that one cannot live if they have a baby. I know some people say well I'm only 18 and not financially ready to have a baby. Then why did you take the risk knowing what might have happened? Why play grown ups and have sex like grown ups when in the end you can't be a grown up and have a baby. There are many grown ups or mature people out there that weren't financially ready to have a baby, but there are government programs that will help those who need to get things for their babies.

But like I said everyone has there reasons and there life may be happy for there decisions. In the end I guess my friend has to ask herself is will I really do it? Can she live raising a baby all by herself without any help? Or can she take the easy way out and have a child when she is mature and ready for it.
