I can tell you i know what a child can bring you. I have a 5 year old son and i love him so much and do not ever regret having him but i wasn't a teenager when i had him.
I think abortion is a choice that all women have.
If there were something bad wrong with the baby and would suffer a horrible life and death then yes i would have an abortion.
If my life were in danger because of the baby then yes i would have an abortion because i wouldn't want to leave my son motherless.
If i were raped then yes i would have an abortion.
I just think people shouldn't judge the ones that get or want abortion cause until you walk a mile in their shoes then how can you say you don't know how they feel/felt to have to choose?

Yes i do believe it is sad for young little girls to have babies. They aren't even done developing in their own bodies and they want to have babies? I believe that someone that young shouldn't be having kids.. That is MY OPINION and i have that RIGHT TO SPEAK IT.
I do not judge, i just speak my opinions and beliefs

Why is it people claim abortion is murder? If it was murder then why would a doctor even perform an abortion when they take an oath to do no harm?
2006-10-27 18:06:07 · update #2
Because unfortunately people just can't let people have their opinions, or beliefs, or thoughts, if they don't match what they believe.
Sad.

I agree. Some people just feel very strongly about the subject. I had my daughter at age 15 (got prego at 14), and I never even considered abortion. I am 22 now, married, and 14 weeks pregnant. I am in school, and I was distraught when I found out I was pregnant. I wanted to finish school, and I had only been married 2 months when I conceived. I considered abortion. I even called a pregnancy crisis center. Then I realized it wasn't the baby's fault, I should have been more careful, and I knew it would be hard, but we could adequately raise the baby. I don't regret my decision, and never have with my six year old daughter. If there were a problem with the new baby so that it would suffer, I would have an abortion. I don't know if I would if raped...I would have to be faced with that situation before I could say...Some people are overly dramatic on the issue, I think it is every woman's choice. Its just one I haven't had to succumb to yet.

I think you are missing the point. It is not the abortion for the handicapped child. The mother whose life that is in danger or raped. It is the person that doesn't want the child because she broke up with her husband or boyfriend. It is the woman that will carry the child all the way to final term then have it killed as it is exiting the womb. Partial birth abortion is what that is called. The doctor stabs the child through the brain as it enters the birth canal and kills it. With the night after pill, why should there be such a thing as abortion? With all of the contraceptives, why should there be such a thing as abortion? When people start using an abortion as a means of birth control that is where the problem begins. Stop the pregnancy before it starts. One more thing if parents were honest with their daughters and tell them what the responsibilities are with having sex you would see a lot more abstinence.

I agree with you 100%, having an abortion is the woman's choice and she shouldn't be criticized for it. Unfortunately though now a days people like to criticize every little thing from abortion, to inter-racial couples, to if you have the tiniest pimple on your nose.
The only thing that I feel is wrong though is if a person has had multiple abortions just because they can't keep there legs closed long enough to use some type of protection.

I kinda see how you feel. But I had an abortion and regret it for the rest of my life. I totally f*cked up when I did that and hate myself for it. I think that it is horrible, and i would never suggest anyone do it. There are so many perfect couples out there that would be perfect parents and can't have kids of their own. I am very highly against abortion and I had one before. I suggest that before you support it you look into it more. At the age of 8 weeks pregnant the baby has a heart beat. That is a life if you ask me. The baby at 9 weeks the brain starts to function. check it out. http://babycenter.com

Yes, I understand what you are saying. Abortion is a major catch 22 situation. It is horrific to see the websites that show babies being aborted that are aborted alive, screaming at the top of their lungs and then die. You can google "abortion pictures" and see for yourself. Aborting these innocent babies makes me sick! However, I do understand that if abortion was illegal, then we would have pregnant women out there trying to perform "back alley" abortions on themselves, etc. We would have women that were pregnant using drugs and drinking alcohol because they don't care or want the baby inside them. And the babies would be born all screwed up anyway. What is the solution? I can't think of one myself.

I think people get torn up about it because we are dealing with a life issue. If abortion were about killing something we KNEW to be lifeless, than nobody would care. However, life is precious and people know that deep down they are killing somebody. REGARDLESS of the circumstances by which the baby was conceived, they are growing human beings and NOBODY, not even their mother has a right to say that little person is not worthy of life just because it may or may not suffer, etc... Who are we to say which life is worthy or not? What about your 5 year old? Who is to say that he will or will not suffer one day for whatever reason? Would you kill him now? NO, you probably wouldn't and you would hate anybody who would want to. Nobody on this earth has the right to judge and you are right about that. What we need is more compassion toward mothers, especially young ones, who are faced with an unplanned pregnancy and if the world would just give them support and love, the babies would find a home. All this world needs is compassion, Love of life. and Fear of God who created EVERYBODY and is the only ONE who can determine who is worthy of life or death.

You mean just like you shouldn't judge women that had children at 16, 17, 18, 19? Take your own advice. what makes you think that a woman regrets a child when she has one in her teens? I don't. speak for yourself about regretting a child.
You're still judging. I guess you totally missed what I said.

I feel the same way I have 2 boys and a daughter I lost to SIDS at 9 weeks and I still think women have the right to choose, IT is their lifes not ours. In all honesty it is not any ones business and it most likey doesn't effect us in any way so why are people so quick to judge and throw out insults to a person going thru a rough time.
This opinion excludes women who are just to f'ing lazy to use birth control.

Abortion is a choice yes. Some people believe in it, others do not.
See, it's like politics, per say. You got your parties and what not. One person feels firmly about his party and becomes defensive if someone doesn't agree with him. It's like this on all subjects of life.
I personally do not believe in abortion but I will not throw my opinion on other people. Others have their feelings and are set on them, and I am not one to try to change their minds. I just respect their opinion even if I don't agree with it.

LOL! This coming from a woman who says when people put their children up for adoption--they are "scum?" Tell me that isn't hypocritical!

Also--you can be pro-choice and not pro-abortion. I may not want people to get an abortion but I know sure as heck that they should be able to do it if they want to. I would NEVER try to convince someone abortion is the right thing to do though! I would support someone though if that's the path they chose.
