If you are a teen please answer this question!!!?

Question

Ok I'm 14 years old and I was wondering why like all teenagers are soo against abortion. I am pro-choice. All my friends are like "If any one i know got an abortion I would never talk to them again" Thats soo stupid, abortion isnt "killing" like I know if I got pregnant right now I would take my *** to the nearest abortion clinic. Do you know how many kids out there are orphaned and alone. Why would someone want to bring any more unwanted kids into the orld? So do you agree with abortion? No I'm not pregnant, I'm just asking. Ad girls what would you do if you found out you where pregnant?

Answer 1

Answer 2

I do not believe you should put someone down instantly for abortion, you are supposed to forgive them, even if it takes time to. And abortion IS killing, from science and Christian standpoint. The scientific standpoint is that the minute that egg is fertilized, it starts developing, that has been proven. And a child never had a chance if you went and killed it before it was birthed, if you give it up for adoption, then the child has a chance for a good life, and loving parents. The person who says women should have the right to chose probably leaves out the point that the women most of the time chose to have sex, so why should they get a second chance to do something wrong again? If i got pregnant, i would raise the baby myself, or give it up. I would NEVER abort. But i do feel a raped woman, or a women who would die otherwise should be allowed to abort, the first one only in like the first week of pregnancy.

Answer 3

I'm 15 and there are no unwanted children, maybe by the irresponsible parent(s), it is unwanted but there are plenty of people who want to adopt. I know I want to adopt when I am older and financially stable. Maybe to YOU it is not killing, but to me it is so you can live your life and I will live mine with that decision. If you don't want children don't spread your legs, and if you get pregnant take responsibility for your actions. Sex does have consequences you know. If I got pregnant I would go through with the pregnancy I wouldn't take the easy way out destroy something else that I brought upon myself. I don't care if anyone agrees with me or not because even though I think abortion is wrong it is a bias subject. Don't call others stupid when you yourself doesn't even know proper grammar or what the word responsibility means. Go get an education. I would have answered you more respectfully if you didn't come off so immature and disrespectful yourself. You should respect your friends thoughts also. To the whole subject about the baby not being alive until it is born, location doesn't have the luxury of defining life. Have you seen an abortion, I have and that baby was definitely alive.

Answer 4

My view is if you were grown enough to have sex then you're grown enough to handle the consequences. I'm not sure what I think about rape. I think I'm pro-choice in rape situations. However, there is such thing as an open adoption and you can make sure your baby is with a family you can trust. Also, open adoptions allow you to keep track of your baby and stay in your baby's life.

But I don't think it's fair for girls who go around having sex to end the life of a fetus because they don't want to have a baby...then go out, have sex, get pregnant again, and do it all over again.

If abortion is legalized I think they should a lot 2 abortions per girl in the country because for a girl to keep getting abortions cause she doesn't want a baby and she's irresponsible isn't right. If she feels that stongly about it she should get her tubes tied. And if she things she will want a baby later, she should stop sleeping around so much now so she won't have to worry about getting pregnant all the time.

I know this isn't the situation w/ a lot of people, but it is one situation...

Answer 5

OK to start off there is no such thing as an unwanted kid.....and abortion is wrong because why would you kill something that is a part of you if that baby had a voice do you really think that it would be telling to kill it....and the girls that do choose abortion as an option why..??because your parent would kill you when they find out...because you are no ready...well no that's just a lame excuse for being irresponsible and not facing your mistakes.there are so many other things you can do adoption and there are allot of women out there that cant have kids there are way to arrange for them to adopt your baby as soon as its born..I'm 16 and I'm 2 months pregnant and never not once did it cross my mind to have a abortion....

Answer 6

When I was your age, I felt exactly the same way as your friends do. I thought "how could ANYONE actually want to do that??" I didn't understand. I was naive. When you become more mature (which is seems like you have), you become more aware of the world; you can empathize. And when you can picture yourself in a teenage girl's shoes, whose parents will disown her, whose town may ostracize her, and many other horrible things, you may feel sorry for her. I know I do.

I am 19 years old, and I consider myself pro-choice. But with that, I feel I am adamantly pro-life as well, in the sense that it truly does break my heart when a girl feels no other option but to abort her child. I have also come to realize that pro-choice is named such because it is not pro-abortion. It is the choice to decide to keep my baby, or the choice to abort it, or the choice to give it up for adoption.

I realize with my age that other people are entitled to their own morals and religious beliefs, and those will not always match up with my own; and they are entitled to those beliefs and I should not impose my own beliefs upon them.

Another thing I have realized this age is that the rights to have an abortion are WOMEN'S rights. It is the right to privacy. It is the right to get treatment (no matter what it may be) without needing the approval of a man. It is the right to discuss with my doctor anything and everything, and it is the right for it to be no one else's business. I think that is often overlooked. There is no reason why someone's personal medical records are of anyone else's concerns.

If I were to find out I were pregnant tomorrow, I would most likely give up my child for adoption. Babies are in high demand, it is older children that often go in and out of foster care, and yes, I do find it very upsetting.

Answer 7

I'm 19. I believe abortion is a choice, and one you cannot make lightly. It IS killing. I believe it's your choice to kill the life growing inside you. You're killing a beautiful thing. But women also deserve to have the choice to decide for themselves, because it's their body, their uterus, and their life - not a man's. (That's why male politicians that have a stance on abortion piss me off - that's a women's issue, not a man's, so they should just butt out and let us take care of it.)

Personally, I don't think I could ever have one. I've considered it, once, when I thought I was pregnant (I was nearly 16) - I was so sure I was pregnant, and suddenly I was seriously considering an abortion. I was scared. It's scary. I'm still not prepared to care for another human being.

I think abortion is wrong for me, because I would love that piece of life growing inside me the moment I realized it was there, but I believe every woman deserves to make that choice for herself, not have it made for her by a bunch of 60 year old male politicians who don't know their a$s from their elbow.

Not all surprise pregnancies are unwanted. You have to see it from that point of view. I used to work with a pair of sisters who both got pregnant on accident, a couple years apart, and when they realized they were having babies, they were so excited. Their mother was exicted, their other siblings were excited. Those boys are so, so loved and wanted, even without their fathers being present.

Abortion IS killing. You have to understand that. Saying it's not killing is rationalizing what you're doing. It hurts like nothing else, too, or so I've heard. (Never having had one, I wouldn't know.) You're having a life sucked out of your body. Of course it hurts, and of course it's killing. It's horrible. But it's still the choice of the woman whether or not to bring this child into the world.

Not all teenagers are against abortion. You're making generalities. You don't know all teenagers, so that's a statement you can't really make.

Edit: To Person, who was on page 1, not all babies get HIV/AIDS if the mother has it. One of my best friends was born to a mother with HIV, and they were afraid he'd get it, but once he started producing his own blood and his mother's stopped flowing through him, it turned out that he was fine. He got another test, just to be sure, a few years ago, and he's still disease-free. So no, a baby shouldn't be aborted just because they MIGHT be infected.

Answer 8

If it isn't a baby, then you aren't pregnant, so what are you aborting?

how is it not killing? do you understand the growth process....research the development of an unborn baby...look at pictures...see a heart beat and tell me its not killing.

plus do you know all the negative consequences of abortion. It has high links to breast cancer, can leave you unable to reproduce and most importantly you will be scarred for the rest of your life. I deal with this a lot because I volunteer at a Pregnacny Care Center...

don't make a baby suffer because you are being too selfish. Mistakes happen, if you can raise the child then give it up for adoption. Someone will gladly take it, but don't deny he or she the right of life.

Answer 9

I believe if you think you're old enough to have sex you should be prepared to accept the consequences. Only 1% of abortions are due to rape and over 49% of abortions are repeats (meaning it's being used as a form of birth control.) The heartbeat begins between the eighteenth and twenty-fifth day and the brain begins to function at 40 days, how can you say it's not alive? I just can't justify killing a human life because it's "unwanted." Many homeless people are considered "unwanted" . . . should we make it okay to kill them too? There are other options then abortion.

Answer 10

I'm not against abortion, I'm pro-choice! I think that if a girl gets pregnant she should have the choice to keep it or not. Sometimes your life doesn't need the weight of another human being when your still trying to pull your life together. To have to take care of another person, when you still have to figure out how your gonna live makes life harder than people think. Just keep thinking what you want, and those who don't like it, can just go the h*ll away.

Answer 11

I dont agree with it...I am about 3 and a half months pregnant... and i could NEVER even think about killing my baby.. at all...I understand maybe if you were raped or something like that.. but.. im sorry....if you are that stupid to not use some kind of birth control method then u deserve it... and there is soo many other options out there adaption... every year more and more couples find out that they cannot have children and want to adopt....
Abortion is is a horrible thing.........

I could never kill this little thing inside me.... its a part of me... it has my genes and everything else...... i would never even consider it...

ABORTION IS WRONG!!!! ITS MURDER!!!
