I think many teens are to scared, nervous or anxious to tell their parents they are sexually active.  Becoming pregnant ads even more stress to that equation.  I think many teens are to scared their families will punish them for getting pregnant as if the daily responsibility of caring for a child wouldn't be enough.  The fact is that having kids is supposed to be a joyous and beautiful process but if they are scared it will all be one punishment after the next then I understand why a girl would get an abortion.  Parents should be 100 percent supportive of their kids if they decide to have sex, even if it goes against their moral or religious values. I honestly think there would be less abortion if this could happen
