So, like I said, you're treating her like property. She is to do as the man of the house says or else. And it wouldn't ruin her life. One of three things could happen: Abortion, adoption or having a guy pay her money for the rest of her life for a momentary lapse of judgement.
I can tell you haven't read my later posts that better explain the situation. I'll admit that my choice of words weren't the best, but I can see you haven't seen what teen pregnancy can do to people.
1-Abortion costs money, money they don't have. They can barely afford to pay all their bills let alone pay for some doctor to make a murder out of something not yet born.
2-Adoption, again costs quite a lot of money assuming you can find an orphanage. They aren't very common in these parts, which means they will be more expensive than usual. That is assuming she can give away something that was inside her for 9 months. Giving away your child is not an easy thing to do, needless to say.
3-Child support doesn't go for the rest of the woman's life, it goes to the kid is 18 (or out of college). Even then, the fellow is very unlikely to pay. They don't pay if they don't have a job that pays in checks. If the job pays cash under the table, the mother gets nothing. But that would mean she has to raise a child by herself while she is still in school, which is not going to work. She would almost certainly drop out and her life would be more fucked than it would be otherwise.
Having a kid you are not 100% prepared for will ruin you, mentally, financially, and physically. Having a kid could kill her (when she had her kidney transplant, they had to place the kidney in the middle, she was born with 2 bad kindeys and got her 1 working one when she was 3 from a 20 year old, space was an issue).
You have an understandable ignorance of the whole situation. Before you make a judgement of someone, know the details. I am not a ignorant hillbilly who loves violence and wants to control his sister. I do what I must to keep her from making the same mistakes my 2 brother's made. I failed my little brother (he had a kid with a girl who is still in High school, he is only a year older than her), but I will not fail my little sister too. I will not let her be like the stupid whore that got my brother into his situation.
