Ugh 16 and pregnant... (spoiler)

Yes... I admit I watch it.

I almost punched the girl through the TV (surprisingly she made it through almost the entire episode before I felt this way). Essentially, she and her sister found out they were pregnant around the same time. Her sister got an abortion and she chose to keep her baby. Apparently this is when her boyfriend "tricked her" into thinking things were going to be great and they were going to have a family, yada yada. Well of course, the guy didn't show up as a dad at all (though he was pissed that she didn't give the baby his last name...typical guy). So later on in the episode she is doing it "on her own" (aka-- getting all the money, supplies, etc she needs from her mom and taking care of HER baby). She gets frustrated at one point and is sitting with her sister and says that while she "doesn't regret anything" she wished she had had an abortion since her bf wasn't there to help her. SERIOUSLY? I am 110% pro-choice but this pissed me off so badly. You made a decision to keep your child and now you are going on national TV, where your child could see the episode someday, and saying that now you don't want your kid. If I could have punched her I would have. Vent over

    Oh my gosh, I'm glad I wasn't the only one. It irked me the most because she saw exactly what an abortion would be killing and was still okay with doing that to her child. I like to think maybe it was a moment of extreme tiredness and frustration..

    I would like to think this was the case.  My SIL was in a very very bad place when she got pregnant at 19, and considered abortion.  She didn't, and now can't believe she had ever even thought about it.  She tells anyone, and everyone, that her daughter saved her life and that she couldn't imagine life without her, even though it hasn't been easy.

    My best friend got pregnant at 18. She got pregnant from a one night stand with a total loser. She wanted an abortion but she ended up waiting to long and wasn't able to get it by the time she went. She now has an amazing three year old so whom she loves very much and she is a (somewhat surprisingly) great mother but she still regrets not getting the abortion sooner. I don't think that makes her a bad person. Yes, she made the choice to have unprotected sex but that doesn't mean she can't sometimes wish her life was easier/normal.

    It never ceases to amaze me how many women (especially young girls) buy into the crap about him always being there for you. I'm sorry, but unless you're in a mature, committed relationship (with or without legal marriage) you, as a woman, need to make your decisions based on you and that child. Be willing to do it all alone and be grateful for the one who steps up to be a dad.

    I can't watch that show because I just get so damned mad at those girls.

    That really pissed me off! The last 20 minutes all she talked about was how she wished she had made the same choice as her sister. GIVE YOUR BABY UP FOR ADOPTION!!!!! It seemed like she had PPD also. The way she yelled for her mom and cried when the baby cried.
