    I think that if you become a doctor you should be completely religiously impartial when it comes to treating patients. You have to weigh the rights and concerns of the person you're treating against your personal beliefs.

    You became a healthcare professional to help others. You can't do that if you let your personal life interfere with their care.

    I think it is important, no imperative, that you learn sometimes women choose to keep their pregnancies. As young mothers they have enough to deal with without unneeded judgement. I'm quite sure they knew birth control was an option, and I'm sure they were informed of abortion. Even if not, does saying that now change anything? Inform them without suggesting the pregnancy they kept is/was a mistake. One has a tendancy to become attached to such things, you know. They chose to keep the pregnancy. Key word, CHOSE. I don't care if you have an abortion or have a baby, I support you 100% as long as you chose it.

    I never said anything to them directly. I dont judge them as inferior for keeping their babies. All I'm saying is, I doubt they wanted to get knocked up but maybe didnt have readily accessible contraception, info about abortion options, or just chose unsafe sex. Or perhaps their parents forced them to keep the baby, I don't know. These girls are my age....what kind of life are they going to have? What types of lives will their children have? If schools continue to teach abstinence only sex ed, 15, 16, 17 year olds and younger will continue to get pregnant. So I say again, someone needs to tell these girls about contraception and abortions. It's not a matter of judgement.
