Abortion is not a mortal sin. You must do what is right for you. If you are not married and are under 18, I would think that abortion is the right step. However, you must take steps to avoid pregnancy in the future.
Do not let guilt keep you from doing what is right for YOU.

It's not a mortal sin since according to the new testament there is no such thing as a mortal sin. It's even debatable whether or not it is a sin at all. It's obviously a difficult choice to make but, don't let fundamentalists and pro-lifers (or as everyone else knows them as pro-liars) get in your way. If the choice you make is right for you in your situation, whatever choice that is, you're not going to live the rest of your life in agony or feeling sorry for what you did. I had an abortion and I am not sorry one bit. People at churches and anti-abortionists are always trying to scare women into making a choice that is wrong for them. Sometimes it's because they hate women and children and sex and think that babies are some sort of punishment for having sex othertimes it's because they were forced into abortion or lose sight of their reasoning at the time of their abortion and fall for the mysogynist crap that is the pro-life movement.

You say you know it is a "mortal sin." Is that a religious view you have? Not all people see abortion that way. You have to do what is right for YOU. There are many reasons why a person may not be ready for parenthood yet. Reasons can be personal or medical. Terminating a pregnancy is the right thing to do in some cases. Ultimately it is YOUR decision to make. Nobody can decide that for you. Consider what the pro's & cons would mean in your life if you chose each way. Make a list if necessary so you can see how each option will effect your life. Remember, it is your decision because it will effect the rest of your life. Good luck.

You made a terrible mistake in getting pregnant in the first place because you didnt want a baby. Thats very careless of you. Im just being blunt and honest. I had a son at 18 I got pregnant again at 23 i had an abortion. I vowed to myself I wouldnt let that happen again until I was redy to have a baby so I use protection EVERY SINGLE TIME PERIOD! Its not worth it and I didnt want to have that abotion in vain.I do agree though that everyone makes mistakes. 1 abortion I believe is forgivable but more than 1 is just selfish and careless. If you have an abortion make sure you dont get pregnant again untill you are ready. Use protection or get on the pill and take it everyday. Abortion is not to be taken lightly or to be abused. Good luck.

My choice was adoption. I couldn't have the personal guilt on my head for having an abortion. But then, I had a baby during college and I still went. There are tons of financial aid options available if you have a child, but if you don't want to keep the baby, go with adoption. You would not only be helping yourself, you would also be helping the baby and possibly a couple who could not have a child of their own.
Also, as an added bonus, you wouldn't have pro-lifers in your face.

What--you think abortion is a mortal sin, but it would be ok if you want to continue your studies?
You are going to get a bunch of Christian fundamentalists on here that are going to rant, but truth is, abortion is OK for anyone who thought long and hard about it.

if you wanted to work on ur studies thats great, but u should also choose not to have sex for the simple fact that u might get preg. if u do choose to have sex protect ur self or ur partner, dont kill a child because u made the decision to have sex. there are plenty of things you could do, adoption is a more possitive conclusion, that child to be has a right to have a happy life. im not trying to come off strong, and im sorry if i am. but u need to take mature actions if u plan on having sex. so if u dnt want children and choose to have sex then get preg then just decide u dnt want the child cause u want to go to school, well thats simply selfish. and grated if u choose not to keep the baby, at least give it life and a good home!

could you live with the thought that forever you did this? if you dont have the time or the finances to raise a baby maybe a relative could care for it for you. I know there are many people who would love to adopt a baby. I had a abortion when i was thirteen against my will. I never forgot it and when i see a young man the age the baby would have been i feel the pain deep inside that can never heal. think very hard about this decision only you can make. If it is the right decision for you then do it.

baby, where your intelligence has gone when you spread your legs????? and now you are talking about study and mortal sin and abortion??????
any way what happened is happened.
i can say if it has happened due to your ignorance or mistake, you have no right to abort the baby -- study can be continued later also.
of course if some tragedy caused to you (i mean rape) and you are not prepared mentally for parenthood you can abort it.
hope you will take a wise decision...

honestly you need to be 100% ready to give up your life for a child. if you arent then you would need to have an abortion no matter how hard it is. when you bring a chikd into the world you need to give up your life to love it, look after it and give it a good up bringing. think seriously about what you want and follow your heart.also i would strongly advice using birth control from now on.
just remember its not the babies fault so do right by it as well.
