I wonder if someone will direct her to something like a local Crisis Pregnancy Center (that's NOT like Planned Parenthood. At CPC they do not do abortions. They talk to the girls about either keeping the baby and raising it or else releasing the child for adoption) The CPC here is very good about giving support in situations like this. They would get someone involved to go with her to talk to her parents to let tell them about the pregnancy if she felt the need for it.

I agree here. Telling mom may not solve the problem. In some cases, Mom is so caught up in the offenders religious web of lies that she would actually side with the offender against her own daughter. A girl in our neighbor hood was molested by here step-father and the Mom, sent the girl away as a trouble maker who "lied" on her hubby. She sent the girl away to live with relatives and kept the bum. No, Abbey should tell the girl to by-pass Mom, Go directly to the authorties.
Heres another point: More than likely this girl isn't the only victim. People like this more often than not spreads their "love" around to multiple victims. When the truth comes out (and it will) this girl will be devatated more by the fact that she isn't the "only special girl" in this mans sordid life. What he has done is unspeakable. But when other victims are discovered, this girl will be crushed, and the baby, should she decide to keep it, will be a constant reminder of how she was betrayed. So sad for all involved. Except the creep. Whatever happens to him will be less than he deserves.
I have heard rumors that there is a church in a certain state that has a pastor who molested several young girls over a period of time. He was tried and convicted and sent to prison for a long time (probably not long enough). But, and this is so sad.... he is still the pastor of the church. The church believing the whole thing was a lie on the "man of God", chose to keep him as pastor. Its said he makes audio taped sermons and directs the church by letter and phone calls. Some of the parents of the victims still attend there, they say, and forces these girls to listen to the voice of this slime every Sunday preaching about the love of God.
