of he keeps the kid. there going to be poor and it will be very difficult to go to school.

if he waits 10 more years then has a kid, that kids going to live a much better life.

so if you consider the utility of the situation...--

- and well i'm not going to start any debates on whether this person is a person yet.

earlier this year on Today Tonight (its an Australian Current Afairs program) they had a report on a kid who was 13, hid 16 yr olf girl friend had the baby, dumped it on him and left (ill try to get a link to the story for you) he has raised the kid for the past couple of years with the helop of his mum, he is now in school, keeping up good grades and the child is healthy and happy, there is always a way to help a child, even if he doesnt think he can raise it there is always adoption, the advantage over the abortion is that the child gets to live, maybe one day years from now if youre having regrets you can even see it, you might even be able to reach an agreement with the foster parents to let you babysit and keep a close eye on the child. of course doing this means going through a very difficult couple of months,
