Pushing her to have an abortion at 15 sets the example you think you need to?

Hope you and your daughter get this figured out

yep. I value my daughters life and well being over an unborn bastard child any day.My job is to raise an educated,self reliant woman. Having a child at such a young age pretty much jeopardizes years of upbringing to create a successful life.
So you want to teach her to not have to live life around mistakes? Seems contradictory.

I would never ever ever take this approach.
1. I would find the guy and give him a "stern talk".
2. I would counsel my daughter to bring the baby to term, but to offer it up for adoption. She should understand that decisions have consequences, that she will have to face them, but that they are not a punishment. I'd make sure she knows that her family supports her and will do whatever necessary to help.

Regardless of any religious beliefs, abortion isn't the answer.
There are so many great couples waiting for an adoption that would give an awesome life to any child.
An abortion is the one of the most selfish things in this world. Just accept responsibility and either make it work or give the child up for adoption.
There are only two options, IMO

Do you think it is a given that her emotional "well being" will be intact after having an abortion?
A child is pretty much permanent and a huge burden on creating a successful life.
Save your "but i know people who are successful who had kids at an early age" speech.
You as well as everyone else know statistically speaking,it makes creating a successful life very hard.

With the support of family, she actually has quite a few. Without it, a little less, but a hell of a lot more than you're letting on.

I can tell you that my wife and I are in the process of trying to adopt a baby and are actively looking for a birth mother. There are a lot of adoptive parents in our situation. There are some great organizations that help answer questions and counsel pregnant teens in these cases.

Grown women are one thing, 15 year old girls being mentally capable of understanding an abortion is a completely different thing.
She'd blame her father for forcing an abortion on her.
yep, that should bring the father and daughter closer.

THIS.
A former student of mine has three sons of her own, and they've adopted 4 kids, all with either Downs Syndrome or other disabilities, from the Ukraine. It's easier to adopt from the Ukraine, which to me is sad. But it's a huge blessing for those children.

Same. But I still think that is the choice of the woman; not the parents.
Someone I know got pregnant pretty young, and her parents strongly encouraged her to give the baby to a young-ish married couple they knew who were having issues getting pregnant. It's a completely open adoption, and the girl visits the baby and everything. The baby is raised knowing the girl is her "real mommy".
Some judged how much her parents seemed to have pressured her into this decision, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. If they flat out refuse to financially support/raise this child, what else do you expect them to do? They are not required to raise a child they did not have sex and create themselves.
They gave their daughter the option of keeping that baby, with the understand that they are not raising that child. She, luckily, realized the best thing for the baby was this open adoption.
There's no reason a 50-60 year old person has to raise a child they did not create. Their life isn't magically less important.
But yeah, forced abortion is not the answer. That's not their decision, even if I understand why they would want her to do it (and I'd probably want her to as well).
