A young guy and girl think they are in love. The girl gets pregnant -the guy runs away.
The girl now has a life long burden to carry, on her own , with stigma and shame attached.
Will her family step up and help her, or will they turn their back? Often, it may be her family that encourages the abortion. If she has the child and adopts it out, there is a minefield of feelings she has to work through for the rest of her life. Even if she can detach herself, laws are now in place for the child to know who their birth parents are, so she cant escape those feelings if the child tries to make contact.
She has to face the struggle of being a single mum, or the chance that the new step-dad will abuse her, the child, or both. What kind of security can she offer the child, what about education?
These issues are no joke for a young woman to have to deal with. Its understandable why some women dont like to be told how to live their lives by men.
