Had anyone thought of abortion when they were pregnant and not go through with it? How did you feel when you?

Question

held your child in your arms for the first time?

I am totally against abortion, and it angers me when in a society like todays'day young people just sleep around and don't think about the consequences like STDs and anwanted pregnancies and they see abortion as an easy way out. I was just wondering if any of you got pregnant (unplanned) and thought about abortion, but reconsider it and end up having the child? can you share your personal stories?

Shame on you! how dare you to say that a child can RUIN your life.

Answer 1

I think abortion is great. Even with birth control, there are sometimes unwanted, accidental pregnancies. I don't think anyone should have to ruin their life with an unwanted child.

Are you personally willing to contribute to paying into a fund to take care of unwanted children who are given up, by parents who didn't want to have a child? Would you take in some random person's unwanted child?

If not...then you shouldn't be trying to say what choices other people should make. How'd you like it if someone tried to tell you you HAD to have an abortion? It's the same thing.

Answer 2

In answer to heatheylyn-we already do pay for other peoples kids through welfare. Although I do think people should plan their lives and pregnancies more carefully - abortion is the ending of a life. There are ways to prevent this and people do not make enough of an effort to use birth control, guys should also. Abortion ends life, plain and simple. While I do not judge those that make the decision to abort I feel it is used way too commonly. I have two children and they were planned for and loved and wanted by both my husband and myself before they were born. It is a tough job raising a child when you put the cart before the horse, which means before marriage.

Answer 3

I was 16 when I found out I was pregnant for the first time. I did consider abortion, but was scarred as to how I would be able to live with myself afterward. I talked to my aunt, who is adopted in to our family, and a cousin of my husbands and she had gotten an abortion. I did not know what to do. I was a junior in high school and was frightened.

So, after long thought and patience, I decided to get married to my husband and have the baby. He is a georgeous little man. He will be 10 this November. He is the spitting image of his father. After he came and then a brother 2 years later, my husband at the time and I got a divorce. I never thought that it would happen to me, but it did. Now that I am remarried and on with my life, my oldest son and I have a special bond that I never thought that I could have with another human being. I am so glad that I decided to keep him and not have an abortion.

I think that the choice of an abortion is the woman's, and no one should tell you what to do. Although, since I made the choice to keep my baby, I stayed in school, graduated and later went to college. I have suffered through a divorce, but I have 2 beautiful sons to console me with that.

Good luck to you and your cause. I think that a woman's body is a sacred thing and should be taken care of. Good luck to all in this predictament.

Answer 4

I am 21 and found out I was pregnant in March. I was considering an abortion, because my mother demanded me too. This would have been my first child and the father is my boyfriend that I have been with for 5 years. After thinking about it, I realised I could never do that. Now I am almost 5 months, with my baby coming in December and I couldnt be happier.

Answer 5

When I was 16 i got pregnant, at that age I thought i knew everyhthing and could handle everything. It was really hard. At 23 i had just went through a really nasty divorce and found out that I was pregnant. I was horrified. It was hard enough raising one on my own but I couldnt fathom raising two alone. I tossed around abortion, and adoption both. But it was my responsibility and mine alone. I would never have been able to forgive myself if I would have chosen abortion or adoption. I love my son and and cherish every moment.

Answer 6

I am a mother of 3 and I considered it with my last child. I knew what it was like to have a child and what goes along with them. My husband was in jail for domestic violence and I was very lucky that I was still able to have my son. I divorced him shortly after and had my son my anyway. I look at him and my other children and just couldn't image my life any different. The hugs, the I love yous, and kisses make everyday worth it.

Answer 7

I got pregnant last year and my mother already told me that if I became pregnant that I had to get an abortion. I couldn't see myself killing my unborn baby so I told my mother that I was pregnant when I was to far alone to have an abortion. She was mad, but she got over it. I love my son and I'm very glad (so is my mother) that I had him. Me and my baby daddy loves him to death and I could never see myself giving him up.
