Would you still force her to have the child?

I wouldn't have to, She wouldn't ever consider abortion an option. I am her mother and because of that fact she has been taught the same values and morals I believe in.
Also she is way too young to make a mature decision. My job as a parent is to guide her and help her to make choices she is too young to make herself. That's one of the things that separate children from adults, the ability to see the consequences of our actions and thinking about the future.
Having said all of that it's hard to answer your question since my daughter would never make that choice. But hypothetically speaking I would never ever under any circumstances let her kill her baby.
