My 15 year old daughter won't get an abortion?

My 15 year old daughter got pregnant last month. She's obviously far too young to have a baby, so I told her to go to planned parenthood and get an abortion, but she refuses to. Her ex boyfriend (the father of the child) is black, which means the baby will be black. I'm not being in any way racist, but babies who are half black rarely if ever get adopted, and will most likely live its entire life in an orphanage, and that's just unfair. I told her that if she doesn't get an abortion, I'm throwing her out on the streets. I have no options. What should I do? (Polite answers only, please)

    I agree that your daughter is too young to have a baby, but an abortion is definitely not the answer. I also know that mixed and black children do get adopted very often. It is your daughter's choice whether or not to get an abortion. She is probably not thrilled about being pregnant, and she needs you to support her through this confusing time. Threatening to kick her out will not help the situation. You said that it is unfair for the child to live in an orphanage, but through an abortion, it does not even get a chance. In my opinion, that is much less fair. Consider keeping the baby. The joy and life it will bring will be far greater than the obstacles that will come with it.

    Abortion is killing a precious little baby (and your grandbaby).

    No woman ever held her precious newborn and regretted not killing it.

    Read some stories of other women who have done this and regretted it for life.

    Praying for you and your daughter. God has a plan for the life of your grandbaby and for your daughter's life. He has given you this baby for a reason. His plans always work out for us better than our own. He knows us better than we know ourselves.
