You guys do realize she wasn't actually pregnant? It was a project as she clearly said on stereotypes. So why are yous saying she should have chosen abortion? Also, if you get pregnant honestly you shouldn't get an abortion unless you're dangerously young. There's always adoption, just saying. I suppose in certain instances it would be acceptable... Maybe... But why do that to a living thing when you were dumb enough to get pregnant anyways?

It's so easy to solve, GET AN ABORTION!! Is it really worth it to let your life be DESTROYED in order to appease the religious/superstitious/old-fa­shioned morons who are against it? It's your life and it's the only one you got.

Get an abortion. Problem solved. If she had done that she wouldn't have needed to endure all that, it was so pointless!

@MisterKorihor It really doesn't seem that way after how harshly you speak about them. And yes I mentioned 100 years ago, because mistakes they made 100 years ago were fixed, it doesn't mean any of their stupidity has gone away, they just make mistakes on modern stuff now.

@lovexthexrachels 100 years ago!?!? What the hell are you talking about? You know, I think you just invented a new type of logical fallacy. Ad Historia Iniuria: A fallacy where one makes irrelevant references to historical injustices--even though it has nothing to do with the present discussion.

And, by the way, I don't hate teen mothers. I wish no ill will towards them. And I wish them the best. But I'll call a spade a spade. Irresponsible behavior is irresponsible behavior.

@MisterKorihor and 100 years ago, people insisted that men were better than women, and Caucasians were better than Africans, and psychologists and sociologists prescribed crack to people for depression. If you got a divorce you were highly looked down on too. People with hateful opinions like yours will always exist and will never get this world anywhere.

@lovexthexrachels PART 4: And how does me making some truthful comments on YouTube amount to irresponsible behavior? I know it's your instinct to attack someone personally when you're angry, but you really don't know anything about me.

[MisterKorihor]

@lovexthexrachels PART 3: I was never so irresponsible in high school that I had a child and mooched off of society and family.

And as I said in my previous comment, I criticize teen mothers because they DESERVE criticism. I criticize any unethical behavior because to do otherwise would be to encourage more of it. (continued in PART 4)

@lovexthexrachels PART 2: And even tax payers who are gung ho about assisting teen mothers would prefer FEWER teen pregnancies. Almost everyone agrees that teen pregnancy is a bad thing. Psychologists and sociologists have studied the issue in hopes of minimizing this scourge.

I never said that I was "better" than teen mothers. But now that you mention it, I am better insofar as I never had a child when I was in high school. (continued in PART 3)

@lovexthexrachels PART 1: I shouldn't continue this discussion since you are becoming more irrational with anger.

You say that I have no right to complain about tax payer money. But I PAY TAXES! I, and many other people, would prefer it if taxes were lower or if the money went to other things (infrastructure, national defense, police, etc.) rather than irresponsible and ignorant teen mothers.
