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.

DollHouseKitty - yes, those really are terrible cases. Grace be with the children involved.

It seems to me that one of the difficulties involved from your particular professional standpoint is the unspecificity of magical items - I've used fertility charms to get over writers' block, and to bless the crops on my smallholding, and I have a replica of that Gaia statue on my altar as I type - so the possibility of having a roped-off 'over-18s' section is hardly viable.

I have an issue with your language, however: magic certainly can't "force" a pregnancy. Not even the pharmaceutical behemoths can do that. At most, it's part of a process, whose outcome is never entirely certain. I still maintain that introducing a degree of reverence and mysticism into that process is likely to do far more good than harm.

Durki, your position is quite clear, but you omit to engage with the counterarguments. Why, precisely, am I so very wrong?
