One of the most popular reality shows is MTV’s “16 and Pregnant” which instigated the spinoff show, “Teen Mom”. The sad thing about these shows that teenagers find so entertaining is that it only shows one side of the whole story, only one option. Last week, MTV aired a new spinoff that shows another, viable option for unexpected pregnancies called “No Easy Decision”. The episode followed the story of Markai and James, a teenage couple who decide that abortion is the best decision for them.
Markai and James were previously stars on “16 and Pregnant” through their pregnancy with their first child. The show revealed how difficult raising a child is, especially when young and faced with other hardships such as trying to graduate from high school and make a living to support your new family. When Markai becomes pregnant for the second time she and James come to the conclusion that abortion is in the best interest for the whole family financially and emotionally.
As explained in “No Easy Decision”, there are three options when faced with an unexpected pregnancy: becoming a parent, adoption, or abortion. All three choices are no easy decisions. As Markai says in the episode, either decision she makes there will be a “what if”. The most powerful thing you can hold onto is your freedom of choice, so that you can make the right decision for YOU.
