Carlos I am very happy to see that you also believe that baby is a baby at the moment of conception. I love that you made sure to point out that even though the teenagers life will be difficult adjusting to have to care for another life, that many others have succeeded and made a life for themselves. Even if it hadn't been the way they had dreamed it to be. I also agree with you in the sense that women do have abortion usually do feel guilty or at least question for the rest of their life what it would have been like if they had that child. I'm glad to see that someone shares my views on saving the lives of unborn children.
