Like that mother in Fahrenheit 9-11, who convinces her son to go off to kill people in the name of america, even though he didn't want to, then he gets killed.

Even if someone were to admit the existence of some line where abortion might theoretically be morally acceptable, such a line is nowhere near this situation. I mean honestly why does this have to come up in every discussion?

Yeah, pretty terrible stuff.

I've never said that "life is sacred" in some sort of way that precludes ever ending it, but I don't see the parallel between an innocent life being ended and that of a traitorous criminal.

A difficult decision which merits additional review, but it isn't relevant to cases in which the above isn't the case.

I dunno bogie, if you were stuck making a decision, you'd probably "merit additional review" until someone else did something about it.
She should get an abortion, imo.

That's a pretty good idea too. I don't think this will work so well in this situation though, since he's apparently taking responsibility for something that may be the result of one of the other (three?) dudes she's currently seeing. Adopting out works when it's a monogamous relationship and there's some agreed boundaries (i.e, no marriage talk for X years, no kids).
My only issue with it is that I've seen what can happen after nine months, especially with party girls who do a lot of drugs and have multiple sexual partners. At my high school, no fewer than three sets of f***buddies ended up in relationships after a pregnancy. Here's a sample of comments I've found to be typical--

-I've given it some thought, and I feel I should keep the baby
-Even if you're not the father, I feel you should support me.
-Any real man would support a baby that wasn't his
-You're taking a paternity test.
-I don't want my baby to be adopted out
-I can't support the little one alone
-Hey, can you spot me twenty bucks so I can buy smokes and Karkov? I feel the baby wouldn't mind

If the case is hopeless then euthanasia might be justified, it's just that it happens in an exceedingly small number of cases, almost to the point of irrelevance.
