I have to disagree that it is the "Christian thing" to force a 13 year old girl to have her child and help with its support later.
I do not equate a parcel of cells unable to survive outside the womb to a child.
You are all entitled to your opinions - I understand and respect you and your opinions.
But I draw the line at having your opinion enforced by law upon those of us who disagree.
Abortion is not a simple choice. It is not a "quick fix" option. It requires thought and counseling and moral support because a woman or a child woman will have to live with this decision for life.
I know several women who chose abortion for a variety of reasons. None regretted the decision.
I started menstruating at 8 1/2. I could have conceived. It is incomprehensible to me that I should have been forced to carry a child to term at 8 or 9 years old.
