Please do NOT post links to any anti-choice material here or anywhere else on the boards. Scarleteen is an organization and community that strongly supports the right to all reproductive options equally: to parenting, abortion or adoption. Additionally, please make sure any links you add support everyone's right to make choices about their own bodies, including the choice to become pregnant. Content which intentionally seeks to scare or shame teen parents or teens who are pregnant is not okay here or anywhere else on the boards.
