i'm 16 and i'm 5weeks pregnant , would i be a bad person if i get an abortion?

Answer 1

no you would not be, but for certain you MUST discuss this with your parents and a counselor, once you have this done, you can never take it back, and it is something you will have to cope with all your life. Do not let people call you evil a baby killer etc. if you decide on abortion, its YOUR right as a woman, although your still a very young one. Good Luck to you. Feel Free to contact me if you need an ear to talk, its gonna be a rough ride, no matter what you decide. Good Luck..

Answer 2

This isn't a question you should be asking strangers. I would think that if it didn't bother you or make you feel bad about it (even a little) then you wouldn't ask, it would be a no brainer to you. Maybe you should talk to your school couneslor and see if she can get you into programs for adoption either open or closed. I'm sure you've heard by now that there are tons of loving families who can't get pregnant and are waiting for babies. Think about it. Your the one who will have to live with your deciscion. Not us. Yes I'm against abortion for myself I would never do it. BUT that doesn't mean it's not the right thing for someone else. My sister had a baby at 17 (she planned it though...don't ask why) so it can be done. Think about how you will feel when you do have a child and have to think back at what this baby could and would have been.

Answer 3

five weeks pregnant implies you already have a functioning human being in there. You WILL definitely be a bad person if you MURDER that being. I know you must be terrified that others will know you're pregnant. Especially your parents or your school. And definitely at your age you're not ready to afford the responsibility that means raising a child. I can offer a solution to the avoid having to raise part. But not at the scandal that it will be when they find out you're expecting. Give it in adoption. How much of a fundamentalist are your old folks? Maybe try your best to tell them the truth, and how messed up you will be because you're going through a situation you can't handle alone. Is not an easy task. I know, believe me. I don't know about the US, but where I come from, there's a center that takes care of underage moms-to-be until they deliver. Give it a try. Don't try to be a super woman and handle this by yourself. For your health's sake, please, seek for professional help. About abortion, no matter how sophisticated their machines are, those methods are not 100% secure. They will not only butcher your child, but will also harm you somehow. I've known women that get fully messed up after one of those abortions to the point that they can no longer conceive when they're finally ready to have a family. This is no time for the cliche and hideous phrase "I told you". The least thing you need now is fingers pointing at you. You need solutions. My advice is this; Putting aside what others might think of you and the social stupidity of narrow minds, search your heart. Put your fears aside and search your heart. Listen to your inner self so you can answer this questions: What do *YOU* really want to do? Once you can answer that question, then you have a starting point to do what's right. Put the religion aside also. people can be quite fanatic to the point of being blind and cruel. Let's not talk saints and sinners here. Let's talk conscience. I made myself that question also, and I chose life. It wasn't easy for me. But when I look into the eyes of my precious daughter I think to myself "she was worth my sacrifice". My decision has silenced the narrow minds of society. Stand tall. Cower to no one. Were you in love when you had sex? Then that child is the fruit of your passion. It was conceived with love, even when it wasn't expected. If love is a crime, then let God judge you. Not mere mortals. Think of what could be best for that growing life inside of you. i don't know if any of these things make any sense for you, but I hope deep inside you'll find what's the right thing to do. And most of all, be brave. Make yourself proud.

Answer 4

That would be a question for a parent. Why would you get the abortion? Are you scared ,can't care for the baby or just want and easy way out? You could put the baby up for adoption if you don't want it and if your hiding it from your parents they will eventually find out they always do. My friend had an abortion and regretted it. To this day she cries about it and always says what if. Think this through long and hard before you make that decision you can't reverse it and you always will live with the decision you make no matter weather it is to continue with the pregnancy or to terminate. My sister had a baby at 16 graduated high school and went on to college and her son is beautiful. It isn't for everyone but it is possible to be a parent at your age if you want to be. Good luck with your decision whatever you decide. not sure if you believe in God but they saw all life comes from him and that all life is for a reason and he only gives us what we can handle. I wouldn't say you are a bad person if you decided to have the abortion because it is not for me to judge you decision is solely yours to make.

Answer 5

no u wont be. im only 16 too and i was 5 weeks 2 days pregnant. i got an abortion this last july 7th. u should really talk to a counselor or do some research about it because i made the mistake of not doing that. but my opinion it was a mistake and i feel like im empty or like i dont have anything worth something anymore. i wish i could go back and change wat i did but u cant so u just really need to think it out really hard or else u will regret it. but good luck with your decision i hope u make the right 1

Answer 6

You will not be a bad person don't let anyone tell you different. You are doing what's best for you and that's what is most important at this moment. I suggest talking to your parents. Yes you may have some emotions after wards but if your mind is set in the right place you will not regret it you will know that is was best. You are only 16 and your body shouldn't have to go through the changes it will take from being pregnant. Yes birth controll would be better next time.

Answer 7

It doesn't really matter what I think or anyone else on this board thinks. It is your decision to make. You know, having a baby is a lot of responsibility and a lot of work. It takes financial resources and a support system. It's very difficult to raise a kid on your own. I really can't underestimate how hard having a child can be. So please think about whether you are prepared for that responsibility. Most 16 year olds are not.

I wish you luck. Perhaps there is a wise not judgemental adult in your life who can help you come to a decision.

Answer 8

Absolutely not!! You have a right to make your own decisions about your body and your reproduction.

Please go get some counseling through a Planned Parenthood or another agency. Abortion or not - this is a very tough decision that has pros and cons either way.

I hope you can learn from this situation, and never have to undergo this again.

Answer 9

I dont think it would make u a bad person.U have to do what is right for u.If ur not ready nd stable enough to bring a child into this world,u shouldnt do it.The only 1 that will suffer is the baby.
To raise a child u need to have a stronge relationship with the father nd a very supportive family,no matter what age u r.

Answer 10

If you had an abortion, you would never stop thinking about it. It is murder. It is an innocent child. There are millions of people waiting for a baby to complete their lives. Give your baby life, and give the most wonderful gift you could possibly give to a family that wants a baby. If you don't want to give the baby up, then step up and be a mom, be a woman and raise your child! You call it abortion, God calls it murder.
