adoption is a better option in my eyes. I don't believe in abortion for any reason, there are so many people out there who can't have kids who would love to adopt - I've even considered being a surrogate for that reason. Count yourself lucky you can have kids, and if you're not ready, adoption is a good choice.
I suppose the decision is yours, however my best friend in high school found herself in a similar situation, she was only 12, however...never had a period before, and was pregnant. Imagine explaining THAT to your parents, at least you're old enough to know what sex is! The father of the baby never had anything to do with the pregnancy or the baby. Her mother was her support - and she placed the baby for adoption. She was 13 when she delivered, and now is 21. She used to receive pictures every year from the adoptive parents along with a letter about how the little girl was doing, but later opted not to continue contact. I guess the choice is yours, but keep in mind, you're the one who has to live with that choice. My prayers are with you either way. May God bless you and the child inside of you.

Even though I'm totally against it, in the end the decision is up to you, after all, you'll be the one that has to live with it. You girls know how you get pregnant, if you don't want a baby you should use all of the protection you can if you're going to have sex!
My opinion....you were responsible enough to have sex, so you should do the responsible thing and have it. If you can't afford it, at least consider putting the baby up for adoption so he/she will have a chance at life.
Abortion is not your only option here. Just know, that if you decide to have an abortion, you may regret it later.

Depends on your situation. I was pregnant at 19, kept on making tha appointment to get it done, but couldnt do it. The daddy and i were on again- off again couple, and he had joined the army before we found out- he got out after a couple weeks, and by that time i had decided to keep it, which he wanted too. almost 2 years later- we have a awesome son, and are getting married in a month.
So, it all depends if you think you can work something out with the father, how old you are, if you really think you can and want to have a baby right now. I still wish i was a mornal 22 year old, but i would never take back my desicion. its your choice, it's not "wrong" its legal, and your choice, your body, your life. you just have to live with your decision forever. What if you cant have more kids? what if you have the baby and end up being very poor and lonely? you just have to do what feels right. you'll know, whether your laying there abou t to get an abortion, or getting ready to have birth your concious will tell you before you make the wrong choice. Good luck, contact me if you need any support!

Look none of use are in your shoes so we don't have the right to tell you anything are call you a bad person. The way i see it is if you have your whole life ahead of you and you feel that your financially stable with a home for you unborn child then i can just say i wouldn't have an abortion but if your like 16-20 years of age and may i say even older and still have that kind of mentality as in still wanting to party -drink- get up and leave you feel like it and have a job talking about making $6.75-7.75 an hour and really is the father in the picture is he ready to give it all up till the baby is ready to move out so that is then what you really have alot to think about and then even more so add a baby on to that plate and see if you don't scream for HELP! Trust me i can relate i had my first daughter at 17years old I'm 21 now and i fell like I'm in my 30-40s trust me i had to grow up overnight. Take who evers advice you'd like only you know what best for you. K. well good luck

Hun,I cannot say whether you should or not,i can give you my opinion on it tho.I believe that abortion is never acceptable and should never in any case whatsoever be considered as an option.That is a child,and even if you arent prepared to take care of a child,you can have it and put it up for adoption.There are so many familys who want to have kids and have the finances for a child and the love for a child but yet cant concieve or carry them themselves.They will love that baby as if it were their own,reguardless of the circumstances in which is what brought into the world.They also have such thing as an open adoption,it allows you to be in the childs life,but the parents raise this child as if it were theirs.They keep contact with you by pictures,phone,email,or weekly visits and such.You can be apart of this babys life,even if you cant keep it.Once it gets older,you wont be a mystery to it,and yet you gave it a chance at life and did what was best in the circumstances.I would advise you to please,think twice before you consider abortion.Nine months of carrying a child close to your heart,and giving it a chance at life reguardless as to whether you are able yourself to take care of this child or not,you will have given it a chance at life and adoption allows them to have a better life if you are unable to care for them.So please,do that instead of aborting this child.Also,go to an obgyn they can help make sure your baby is ok,and kept healthy as well as you.Also,once you have this child please get put on birth control,so you dont have this choice to make again.Remember,birth control isnt 100% effective so use another form of protection and make sure it is available.Good luck.If you need to talk feel free to email me.

It is your decision to make but I would think long and hard about it. It can be a decision that haunts your sleep for the rest of your life. A baby is a big responsibility but there are always other options than abortion. I have done it and have regreted every moment since with every fiber of my being and still wake up crying in the middle of the night and it has been almost ten years.

That is a very personal decision to make for yourself and the baby. I personally don't think abortion is the right thing to do, but I'm not you. I don't know what kind of situation you're in. Have you checked into adoption at all? I had a friend who opted for adoption and she said it was the best decision she made. Remember, you have to live with the choices you make, make sure you can live with not knowing that you gave your baby a chance in life whether with you or parents who never had that choice.

Whatever you do, take some time to really think things through. If you get an abortion, it's not something you can undo if you decide it's a mistake latter. On the other hand, if you do decide to have the baby and realize it's something you can't do, there are always loving people ready to adopt and love little ones they can't have on their own! Really think about it honey. I couldn't do it, but it's not up to me to tell you how to live your life and what to believe in. Best wishes.

Yes its wrong. Its a life just like you were once. I realize people think its ok but would it have been ok if their mom would have killed them? I would think not. Its the same thing. Every woman has that option (although I feel they shouldn't) and so there for our parents could have chose that path when we were conceived. Aren't you glad your mom made the right decision. If you're not ready to be a mom or just don't think you can handle it then give it up for an adoption. Just give it a chance!

ABORTIONS ARE TERRIBLE.. If your expecting and dont want it.. give it up for adoption. there are so many couples that cant have children.. abortion is the wrong thing to do
