| As an grampaw, I favor keepin' your kids. My advice: figure out how to keep a family going and reach your other goals at the same time. If you let your kids get away from you through either abortion or adoption, chances are you will miss'em later unless you really don't want descendants. Granted that pregnancy is inconvenient nearly every time. (Thank you, Mom)
For your other questions: At eighteen, you're an adult and get to figure it out on your own. You want to keep it away from Mom and Dad,(maybe they wouldn't be supportive)OK. But think about how it might feel as a grandparent to know that one of your grandkids is missing...
Birthcontrol is pretty widely available, as is the information. I don't see why women get pregnant if they don't want a baby. Precautions are so much easier than abortion, and we aren't just animals...
