• my 9 year old sister is pregnant, and has never gone out with anyone.
  

  The original poster said that she has never gone out with anyone, which is entirely believable. How many 9-year olds even think about something like dating? Where, besides a question from another respondant, did anyone get the idea that she could be 19 instead of 9 or be involved with anyone? The original poster clearly states that she is 9 and has not “seen anyone” (dated or otherwise been in a situation that could lead to sexual contact). For someone so young and for someone who is not dating, the first thought that occurs to me is that it happened at home. Has anyone thought about the fact that a father, brother, uncle or “family friend” may have assaulted her? She needs help and security — not only for deciding what to do with the pregnancy (i.e., what is physically/medically/emotionally/mentally viable), but to avoid continued abuse.
  
  She needs to talk to someone safe, trusted, and in a position of authority. A doctor or a trusted teacher are good first points of contact.
