While I personally am not having sex at this time, I don't think that abstinence until marriage is a good choice. You make good points about the whole thing, and its not like sex is wrong. it is a part of life that most everybody deals with, and while waiting until marriage may seem like a good idea, it is not for everybody to wait, and i think it is better to have experiences than to be clueless. [for lack of better termenology.]

I dont know, I just really think that Jamie Lynn is making a mistake. I always thought of her to be such a good girl, and maybe even a role model to young girls.
I am unsure is she is making a mistake. The child will want for nothing. I mean the vast majority of abortions are done for financial reasons. I get that money is not everything, but she is not her sister, who seemingly is a bad parent - at least according to the media. To my knowledge, Jamie Lynn has not displayed that kind of whacked out drug induced bahavior. For all we know, she could be a good parent, though her mother apparently is problematic. Many a 16 year old turn out to be good parents

In the end, it is her choice to keep it and only time will tell. From what she says, which I do not really beleive, she says she wants the kid to grow up in Louisiana and have a normal existence. Hopefully, she'll do that and we will never hear from her again
