Being forced to have a child at the age of 13 is not in any young woman's best interest, imo.

The choice was taken out of the young woman's hands by PPA. She was not counseled on all her possible choices; she was bum-rushed down Abortion Avenue.
This PPA worker didn't care about the girl. She didn't report the alleged statutory rape; she didn't even want to hear the details.
PPA is not a safe haven for children in trouble. It is a predatory organization that only offers one choice to the children - abortion. They (PPA) consciously refrain from offering alternative solutions.
And it's not because, as one sarcastic poster implied, they make millions off of abortions. It's done to further their agenda.

Although I'm sure 3% feels a lot more cozy of a number for you, the number of babies killed from performed abortion is about 1.21 million per year ( www.guttmacher.org... ). Being forced to be killed at age < 1 is not in any young child's best interest, imo. All of our mothers chose life, so it's easy for us to drop the knife on others I suppose.

Actually, abortion is never an easy choice, and it's not one I have ever seen any woman take lightly.

No, 3 percent isn't exactly "cozy" as you put it, however, the point was that abortion is hardly the only service, or even the main service they provide. In fact, they don't promote it, but due to fact that there is such a controversy over choice, then they are unfortunately known for being abortion providers, mainly.
They also provide many, many services which benefit women, such as annual exams, std screening, birth control, counseling services, etc., in order to reduce the need for abortions.

Being forced into any situation is not beneficial to a human being, and that includes being forced to have a child.

Also, as someone who HAD an abortion, it's not in the 'best interest' for the woman to have to live with the murder that was committed.
It creates GREAT guilt and anguish, for those who are not COMPLETELY hardened.
Mental help for these women is almost NONEXISTENT because the PTB want everyone to believe that it's NOT A PROBLEM!
I say again, vietnam vets came back with mental problems for killing 'innocents', but these women are shrugged off by the medical institutions and I should know, I was IN a mental institution for 6 months. I couldn't sleep with the lights off or go out in public without medication and I wasn't religious at all.

It gives choices.
Have the baby, give it up for adoption, raise it yourself, abortion.
Anti abortion people give NO choices.

Its murder!, its murder! they say, about a cell membrane that isn't even breathing yet.
Right after they get back from viewing an execution of someone that WAS breathing.
I think people who try and force kids to have unwanted rape baby's, which messes up the kid and the baby's life, or so someone can adopt them are sick in the head.
Every time they execute someone, they do it on OUR behalf, did you know that?
It makes us ALL murderers.That is there evil little plan.
I know a girl who was raped at 15, and had a baby.
And the Pro Lifers more or less forced her to keep it.

The problems come in when an individual is forced into a situation against their will, either being forced to have a baby, or forced to have an abortion.
The suspension and closure came after an investigation into illegal late term abortions allegedly committed at the facilities. An emergency order suspending Pendergraft’s license stated that he showed “a flagrant disregard for the laws of the state of Florida and a willingness to endanger the lives and health of pregnant patients.”
I NEVER heard ANYTHING about 'choices' at the clinic I went to.
They barely talked to me and gave me a pamphlet about the medical procedure they were going to use INSTEAD of TELLING me, themselves!
THERE is something called birth control pills and shots. I even used the depro provera shot after my first child.
If you're with a guy who isn't worthy of being a dad, don't sleep with him.

I was a teenager who made the decision myself, with NO coercion except family telling me I ought to do it, so I wouldn't have to raise a child on welfare.
NO one forced me and it STILL became the most cataclysmic experience of my life.
