I HAVE a daughter.
If she came to me and told me she was getting an abortion, we would discuss things. I am very open with my daughter, and we talk. She knows that if she decides to have sex, and she gets pregnant, her father and I would do whatever we needed to do to help her out. We would not disown her, and we would not kick her butt out of the house.
If after our talk, she still felt that an abortion was the option she thought was best for her, I would drive her to her appointment.
Anyone that would not support their kid in ANY situation does not deserve to be a parent!

Why is this question in the immigration area?
I am pro-choice, and I have a grown daughter...
that being said I do not think abortions should be used as a means of birth control, but there are times when even with protection a woman gets pregnant..it she was and unable to care for the child I would take her to the appointment there are many scenarios that abortion would or could be an option...every woman has the right to choose!

Doug, the majority of people here have told you that first you are in the wrong section and secondly that they would support their children through what is a very hard choice. That is what good parents would do as they want to ensure the welfare of their child. If it is the right choice for that childs situation then so be it. What I want to know why is it so important for you to continue questioning on this topic. Looking at all the answers given I would have thought it is obvious that you are not going to change peoples mind they will do what they feel is right not what you believe or whatever brainwashed cult that you follow. Christianity teaches forgiveness and for you to do what is right by others. You have no right to try and force your opinions on others in order to cause anger. Give yourself some peace and live your own life.

Of course I wouldn't be fine and dandy because my little girl has just had to make the most difficult decision she will ever have to make. I suppose I would talk to her about it, make sure she has gone through all the options, let her know I'm up for whatever choice she makes.
I am not a parent... but I have a lot of younger relatives.

It would not be fine and dandy. I would set her down and explain to her that abortion is not a form of birth control and the conqueseces she will face making this choice. Telling her there is no going back and this is something that she will have to live with for the rest of her life. It might now impact you severly right now but in the future you could look back and think it was the worst choice of your life. If all information and pros and cons were given to her and she still wanted to do it I would be the first to offer to drive her. I dont think that people that are not capable or wanting of a child should have one. I know that some people will say give it up for adoption but you have to remeber that is easier said then done. As well she still has to be responsible enough to take care of herself and the baby during pregancy.

It would be my daughter's body and it would be her choice to make not mine. My mentally disabled daughter who doesn't live with me decided to have both of her children each time she found out she was expecting. Guess what, I have had the 3 year old since he was 3 months old and I have had the 2 year old since she came home from the hospital...
No I wouldn't trade the babies for anything but this isn't what I had planned for this stage in my life. There is no way she can raise them and in our state you cannot have your tubes tied until you are 25...... that is several years off for her

I don't know if I'd say "fine and dandy", but if it were the best option in the situation, I would be supportive of her. What else are you gonna' do, disenfranchise your teenager?
This is probably the most difficult thing she's gone through in her life, and I'd want her to know that, while I don't always agree with what she does, that I'll be there for her when she needs a dad.
any reason why this is in the "immigration" category?

I would be devastated but listen and try to understand why. I would also make sure that where she was going was a reputable doctor.
I am very much against abortion for my self and I would never preach my feelings about it to any one else including my daughter.
I would be disappointed and very sad and I would feel a loss.
I would also try to support her as I feel she would probably be feeling quite sad and guilty as well.
So I guess it wouldn't be "fine and dandy" as we would both have to live with it for the rest of our lives.

I hope my daughter will be afforded the right to do what she wants with her body. Get out of immigration, you are in the wrong forum.

Are you trying to make a point here? Besides, what business is it of YOURS what I would or would not do to help with MY daughter one way or the other? And are you going to stop me?
