Some points that folks on this thread are missing:

1. This is not a story about when a pregnancy can/should be terminated.

2. The person in this story is a child - 17 years old. Many times, what seems like normal weight gain ends up being a pregnancy. This is especially true for younger/skinnier folks.

3. Remove the hot-button issue - abortion - from this story and consider the implications. Two people were having what they thought was a private conversation.

HN crowd is not representative of the real world where FB/Messenger is essential AND where people don't understand privacy (and social) implications of using FB.
