Pregnancies in the Games

[[Ree]craft]

So, someone brought this up in the 56th games I think...? Or maybe it was the 55th. Well it doesn't matter. Anyway, my suggestion is that in the off chance any character goes into the games pregnant, they get an abortion. I'm suggesting this because that sounds the most realistic to the books. You could say that Katniss went into the games "pregnant", but the crowds in the capitol would've had a fit if they forced Katniss to give up her "child".

So yeah, I'm not sure why I'm suggesting this except I think it would be really sad if that happened because both the parent and the kid would probably die if we were being realistic. So yeah, just a suggestion.

Technically, since Katniss did go into the games "pregnant" (and publicly, at that), I would be more inclined to think that implies abortions wouldn't be mandated.

Idk. Either way, I mostly just wanted to say that a pregnant tribute could make for some fantastic opportunities for character development and would be an interesting factor in tribute battle psychology/dynamics. It would obviously be super controversial, but then again, children fighting to the death isn't exactly un-controversial to begin with, so...

Obviously this has been brought up as a topic of discussion before, but I don't really think there's any point in addressing this until it actually occurs.
