Ever had one?

Nope, I have 2 beautiful girls and wouldn't change it for the world! If you aren't prepared to become a parent, than don't have SEX!!! Its wrong to kill a baby that didn't ask to be brought in this world by someone that wasn't ready! If you don't want it there's adoption.

no, but my friend had one about 5 years ago when she was just 17, she thought it was the right thing for her as she believed her mum would throw her out and never speak to her again if she found out she was pregnant. she was in a long term relationship but it was a very unstable one, they were apart more often that together.
so to her it was the right decision to make at the time.
the sad part is she had a blazing row with her boyfriend a few weeks afterwards in front of her mum and it all came out about the abortion. he knew about it but never agreed with it (even though he had another baby from a previous relationship that he did not support or contact).
her mum was devastated to find out her daughter did not confide in her about being pregnant and was heartbroke that she was not able to help and support her during the termination. she also told her that she would have supported and stood by her with what ever decision she would have made at the time including keeping the baby!!
my friend and that looser have now seperatated, but she regrets what she did and now hates christmas as she had the termination just a week before christmas day. all these years later and she still thinks about what might have been. her son/daughter would now be in primary school if she had continued with the pregnancy and she regrets it deeply.
i am not against terminations and i still believe that there are certain circumstances that a termination is justified eg a rape baby. all i would say to any one in a similar situation is talk to your parents about it. they may react a lot differently than you may suspect.

Yes - I am not afraid to admit I have - 6 years ago - I had a termination - I was pregnant by accident - I know I should have been more careful, my circumstances were not right - we had no money and no house, I have no regrets about my abortion. But for every woman its different - I know I wouldn't have another - not because the 1st one disturbed me cause it didn't at all - but because now i would be in a better position to take care of a child. Why do you ask if anyone has had one? do you need help? do you need advice? are you pregnant and thinking of having one, have you already had one?? if you are need of any kind of help without been flamed and shouted at - go to www.netdoctor.co.uk go on the discussion forums and go to Abortions - there you will find a wealth of information and people who have been through it - the majority of them are there to help, there is the odd pro lifer who likes to have a go for fun - but mainly they get ignored anyhow!

how can anybody here call a woman who has had an abortion a childkiller? there are hundreds of reasons for a woman to have an abortion. i had several miscarriages and then had a termination.
i desperatly wanted a child but it was very sick and would not have survived long. it was the best decision for me. i could not face continuing with the pregnancy and to give birth to a child that wouldnt even survive for me to watch it grow up. the emotional pain was difficult to cope with but it would have been an awfull lot more painfull if i hadn't.
both myself and my partner made the right choice we are now waiting on a scan to see if my current pregnancy is going well.
every woman has the right to do with her body as she pleases. until that child is born it is part of her. everybody has a reason and all of us that have had an abortion do struggly greatly afterwards sometimes with depression.
who are any of us to judge another human being for doing what they know is best for them?

Personally I have never had one, but I know women who have....
I am not against abortion and would never say never as I think you don't know what your situation will be. I think women who do have abortions must be riddled with guilt afterwards and live with this for the rest of their lives, howver some do use it as a form of contraception....something I don't agree with.
It's a sign of the times that women don't have to have babies because they have sex, but I do feel that sometimes these procedures are abused by some.

These questions are pointless to ask on here. It's just to get everyone worked up and then if by some chance you get someone to answer "yes" then those who are pro-life will then go about degrading the one who answer truthfully.. And not all pro-lifers are going to go crazy about it, but a few will. I really think that most people who ask abortion questions are just trying to cause trouble and make people mad. Some questions seem to be legitimate, but most like this one are just to get people angry.
To answer the question, no I've never had an abortion and I never will. I've looked into it though, and I've looked into adoption. I chose to keep my daughter because I couldn't loose my child whether it be through giving her up or terminating my pregnancy.

Yes I have. I fell pregnant whilst on the pill and had an abortion at 12 weeks. It was just the wrong time.
I have no problems with the choice I made, it was the right choice for me at the time. I don't regret it now and never will. I have since gone on to have a beautiful baby boy.
I appreciate that there are a number of people out there who will consider me a murderer, and suggest that I will burn in hell. All I can say is that you are entitled to your opinion, just as I am entitled to disagree with it.

no but i am not against it.everyone has their own reasons for having one, not every girl/woman is in a position to bring up a child so it may be the best option for them.
also what if a woman is pregnant as a result of being raped? a child would be a constant reminder.
if a severe disability is detected at a scan that may also be a reason for an abortion.
it is a womans right to choose!

no, but i would have considered it when i had a pregnancy scare at 21 and i was with a violent boyfriend. Also, if there was something horrendously wrong with the baby that meant it would never live past 4/5 years old, or would have to be kept alive with a machine.

No, but I would if my life were in danger. I have a beautiful 2 yr old baby boy who needs me, and well, I'm a little selfish, because I will do anything to be here to see him grow up. In my opinion any woman or man for that matter who puts their life in danger when that have kids is irresponsible. I also agree with keeping the option open for any woman who might NEED one. (Life in danger, rape victims, and incest victims.) Unfortunately abortion is sometimes used as birth control, I don't AGREE with this, but I do FIRMLY believe that every woman has the right to decide what to do with her body.

This is quite a personal question that could conjure up a whole load of emotions for some people i think you should be a bit more considerate before asking something like that
