I think that if you look at the circumstances from your parents point of view, they may think that they did the right thing.
The only way that it could be right or wrong is for you to decide how you feel. Abortion is a very personal decision.

Well...I do think that it should have been up to you, but being that you are obviously young and that your parents would have been responsible for a child that they did not choose to have..then it is probably the best thing you could have done. I had an abortion when I was 15 and my parents didn't make me do it but my mom did encourage me. I was really angry with her afterwards because I felt like I had no other choice. I did regret it for a long time, but I know now that my life would have been very different and I am glad that I waited until I was older to have kids. It is a much better feeling to be a mother when you are ready to be one. Having to rely on your own parents and family to raise your child is tough. It also brings on a whole new realm of responsibilty for everyone else and that is unfair. When you get older and decide that you are ready for children you will understand what I mean. In the future, try to focus on what you need to do to become a successful and happy adult. Enjoy your childhood and make the most of your life before you bring children into it. I promise...it will be a much more rewarding experience.
Good luck!

I think you should have looked into it more if you were that worried about it you could have talked to you local Children Services there are alot of young girls that get adopted by foster parents and they have their baby there because their parents want them to have abortions and also you better plan on being in and out of counseling and going into alot of depression for the rest of your life because you can't take back that you had an abortion. Your parents aren't always right sometimes you have to take a stand for what you know is right or they will be running your whole life even when you are an adult.

I don't believe in abortion, and I can understand that you wanted to keep your baby, so adoption wasn't an option for you either.
Apparently your under 18 years of age(if I'm wrong I'm sorry), and although I don't agree with your parents decision. They would have to take care of you and your child, which is also a huge sacrifice on their part, which they want no part of. I 'm pretty sure they wanted a bigger and better future for you has well, rather than becoming a young mother and everything in your life coming to a stand still (temporarily) fo course. Young mothers have to grow up fast. Huge responsibilities, it's not fun. Just have fun, plan your career and concentrate on a family later.
P.S. Be careful next time. (Have him wrap it up) and if you don't trust him they have female condoms has well.

Well dear
having that baby in the first place was a mistake and there is a reason for everything that happens around us and a lesson to be taught by it .
An abortion is not a wise thing to do in my opinion giving that baby for adoption is better . but what is done is done
instead of worrying wither it was right or wrong . think about your future and focus on your studies .

im happy to see that pretty much everyone on here is against abortion, as am i. i think it is your parents decision what you do with the baby if you still live in their house, but i think it would have been smarter of them to teach you responsibility by letting you make your own decision. you could have given the baby up for adoption. there are tons of families who want babies but cant have their own that would have loved to care for yours. but its too late now and you shouldnt worry about it. just pray for your baby and hope that it didnt suffer. you should show your parents what everyone is saying on here just so they know now... well, good luck with your future. remember its in the past and you cant do anything about it but pray.

It was wrong for someone to force you to make that decision. You should've been able to do what you thought was best. Also I don't know how old you are but if you really wanted it why couldn't you get a job. Would they not allow that either? I'm sorry you had to endure such a thing. To the people that say youre wrong and youre stupid where were they when you were in that predicament. Would they have helped you if you needed it? NOOOOOOO!!!! So keep your rude comments to yourselves. We don't know what we would do until we're in that situation.

Alot of people have a huge moral obligation to say no. I don't think that it's wrong simply because I don't think that abortion in wrong in certain situations. I think that your parents shouldn't be allowed to make you do anything especially with your own body. I think that the way they handled the situation was wrong, especially since you didn't want to do it. But as a procedure, I can't say that I find it wrong because I don't. And I know I'm going to get chewed out but it's just my opinion.

how old are you? If your parents would have had to support your child, then obviously you are not self supporting, and nor can you support a child. I agree with the decision that they made. Please use protection next time, and understand that you need to be capable of raising a child yourself before you should have one.

I am personally against abortion, but if you by the line it is the women's choice you should of had the choice in the matter. Adoption, or you could of went onto welfare. You may need to get some consoling to help you with you situation.
