Using magick to get pregnant, Is it right? Options

I don't know if I'm posting this on the right board, it's such a strange topic. But anyways, on another forum that I frequent, the topic of getting pregnant with the aid of magick was brought up. It was a young teen who asked, and we've quit the debate over it. I thought it would be interesting to bring the question over here, and see what others have to say about it.

My own opinion stands at forcing a teen pregnancy is wrong, they aren't established yet, too young, y'know the whole dealio.

Disclaimer: My opinion is my own, and not to be looked at as a universal one. Different societies go by different ethics and morals. I speak for the Canadian/American societies, based not only the horribly scary statistics, but also through witnessing some aweful cases.

Okee! On the cases that I have witnessed...I lived in Canada's unofficial city of witchs', and I worked at the most popular metaphysical store there for over a year before moving. I had at least 1 teen a week come in and ask for fertility spells, the youngest one looked no older than 12. My boss and mentor at the time, had warned me against these girls, because the cities rate of unwanted and abused children amongst teens was horribly high. So, of course I followed her "rule", I wanted to keep my job, right? Anyways, there where a few girls that frequented the store alot, and knew their way around magick fairly decently. When I first started, two of them came in and bought a statue of the fertility Goddess, you all know who she is, and I thought it odd that they would get this, looking and acting so young.

About 4 months after that, BOTH of them came in and looked like they had accomplished the goal of what the Goddess provides. Fine, no big deal. Until the one came up to me and asked for spells and advice to find a job and stability. I looked at her questionally, and was about to proceed in directing her to the right tools and such, when her other friend piped up and said both their parents kicked them out, their living at the YWCA, had to drop out of school and now need money and a real place to live because of what? They got pregnant. The worst part about it, was the guy...no kidding, the guy wasn't even from Canada, he lives in Australia and came there for a vacation, or something like a vacation.

That's only one...then there are the people I'm friends with who used magick to bring about pregnancy, not everyone I know granted, but there are some. One used "black magick", before I even met him, and found himself and his new family struggling to even feed themselves, mind you effectively pay the bills. They wanted to get pregnant so bad, they didn't even think about that one person is bringing in the bread, and it wasnt a steady means of doing such...he was one of the readers at the store I worked at.

Those are only two, I have a few more, but I think I've written enough to explain my point.

On the literal context, statistically speaking, 1 in 5 teen parents are actually able to support their children. 1 in 5. I used to volunteer for Child Welfare back in Saskatoon, and was thouroughly horrified at the numbers of neglected and abused children. At that time, the youngest prostitute was 7, a little girl whose mother pimped her out because she didn't want to work for a living. Do you know how old her mother was? 23. Do the math. I didn't just help with teen parents, but all sorts. The majority was young mothers coming in because the father left, and won't help out, their parents won't help because they've caused so much trouble with the family, they've given up.

This isn't just in one city, it's all over.

Fertility spells in general are absolutely groovy! No doubt! But at the rate that these spells are being used, with not a single thought about what it could cause, is disturbing. So many people are turning to spells because it's the easy way out (or so they think), and alot do it because it's flashy and fun. My concern doesn't even sit with the young mothers, it's the children that get the shitty end of the deal is where my heart goes out too.

I do understand that their are teen parents out there that have given their children excellent homes, my best friend is one of them (her pregnancy wasn't planned though).

And just for clarification, this teen I mentioned in the OP wasn't forced by anyone to try and get pregnant, She was trying to force it to happen.
