We all (well almost all) would agree that there are some times when abortion is a good decision to make. We just seem to disagree which situations this pertains to. I am going to draw a scenario, and then you get to dream up a realistic "plan B" to abortion. OK? Here goes:

A fourteen year old girl lives in a devout religious family where there is never any discussion of sex. they do not do TV and movies and recreate and socialize mostly with only members of the same church community which adheres to the same types of strict rules. The children go to school at the church where they learn only church-sanctioned information. Discussion of sex is reserved only for pre-marriage counseling, and never before. Somehow, a boy in this group, let's call him Adam, is told by a distant cousin he saw over the holidays about putting his penis into a girl's vagina and how good it feels for a man to do this. Disgusted and intrigued, he goes to his bedroom to simulate this activity with his hand. Having discovered that there is true pleasure in this, he decides to convince a 14 year old girl (let's call here Eve) that this is fun for her, too. They agree to try it one afternoon and Eve finds it frightening and painful but doesn't mention it to anyone. She feels shameful and despondent but does not know why, and a few months later Eve begins to notice that she doesn't feel very well, and that she is gaining a bit of weight. Eve's mother takes her to their local physician who confirms that Eve is indeed 3 months along into a pregnancy. Eve is frightened by this, having not even realized what she had done and wants it to all be over. Eve wants nothing to do with this baby, Adam, or her father and mother. She just wants it all to go away. She discovers from a girl on the bus that there is a proceduer available called a medical abortion and can be done without her parents knowing about it. She writes to her grandmother in Claifornia, tells her of her plight, and Grandma sends her the money and she gets an abortion. Eve is relieved when she tells her parents that she had a really bad period and feels unwell and does not tell them that she had a medical abortion induced. Eventually this incident fades from their memories and the community forgets the whole thing. Except Eve. When she graduates from High School she tells her parents about the whole incident and they disown her.

So what instead of abortion should she have done in this circumstance, knowing that the parents would have disowned her and the young boy at the age of 14 had they known.
