I am sorry, I can't do that...coz I am a guy!!
But as f ar as I know, that once the woman is pregnant, there is a bond of strong emotions start to build-up between the mother and the child. Having an abortion makes the woman feel a missing feeling and has a bad side-effect on her.
I am totally against abortion unless its done for either medical reasons or if the woman was pregnant when raped or so, and wouldn't want anything to remind her of the incident.
The reason for that is, I personally believe that humans don't have the right to take lives that are given by GOD...he is the ONLY one who has the right to give or take lives, not us.

Well, my situation was very unfortunate. I was only 18 at the time and was living with my bf and his family. At first he was very supportive but then his mom found out and totally tried to talk us out of it. She said that if we decided to have the baby then we would have to move out and we had no where else to go. My bf (ex) was a mamas boy and listened to his mom and then decided that it wasn’t' the right time for us. I really wanted to have the baby but I knew it just wasn’t the right thing to do. I agreed not to go through with the pregnancy (and was kind of pushed to the decision) and went through with the abortion. Afterwards I felt like I made the wrong decision and regretted everything minute of it. I always thought about my unborn child and what he/she would look like, I even had a dream that I had a girl and still till this day remember how she looked. I was torn up inside about it and didn't get over it for several years. I also promised myself that I would NEVER do that again.
Now, at 25 and looking back on the situation I believe I did make the right decision. At that age it would of been hard to take care of a child when I was a child myself and I didn't have the support from my family that is soo needed. I wouldn't of been able to give that child everything he/she deserved. I'm sure we would of gotten by not like we should of. I have a 16 month old daughter now and I love every minute of being her mother. I believe everything happens for a reason and I’m glad things turned out the way they did because I am no longer with my ex.

Many, many years ago when I was 19 I got pregnant and had an abortion. I know it might sound lame, but I was so naive about sex and everything sexual that I just didn't understand the risks. I was in the process of leaving the guy ( who was 28 believe it or not and didn't help me at all about birth control) and I knew I couldn't have a baby then.......I had the abortion and it was a relief. I would have ended up with a baby and was still in college and I would have been on my own or stuck with a man that I didn't love.....I don't care what other people think. It was the best for me at that time. I went on to have perfectly healthy twins at 24 and am pregnant again at 38.

Personally no. But I have family that would support me through anything, financially and emotionaly.
If I knew that I couldn't care for the child and I couldn't find anyone to adopt it, I would consider abortion.
Better to not have the child than to give birth to it and have it not be in a loving home that can afford to give it what it deserves right?
If you ended up having your child and you found out that it was never adopted so it never had a family that cared, never had a chance for greatness, or was in an abusive family and there was nothing that you could do about it... how would that make you feel?

NO, not under any circumstance. Its murder ffrom my point of view.i would never be able to forgive myself,esp. knowing how blessed it is to have a child.There are always other options.My advice is don't do it, no matter who says you should. Losing a "friend" is far better then living with a guilty conscience for the rest of your life.

I think that in the case of rape, it sometimes might even be the best choice. I know I wwould not treat the child "fairly", knowing that it's father had raped my woman....not sure how the woman would feel every time she looked at it. Not saying it's the kids fault....just know how I would feel

No way. Even if I was told I would die if I had the child I would keep it because I have had a chance to live and the child hasn't.

if it was rape of incest or other, then yes i think i would not have been able to raise that child and give it the love it needs. or if it put my in a life or death situation, like if i had weak kidneys or liver, then yes i would.
but other then those circumstances, no i would have the child.
