If you knew a Teen girl who was considering abortion...???

Question

What would you say to her to get her to change her mind??? Would you try to talk her out of it??

Answer 1

Yeah I would. I'd do anything I could to talk her out of it. I'd even take the baby myself if thats what it took. Death is never the answer.

This site shows you scientifically what the baby looks like, how it moves, and what it does all in real life from the moment of conception. So she can really see what it is she's killing. by 8 weeks it has eyes and fingers.... by 11 weeks it can grab something put in its hand.

its a baby, not a thing.

Encourage her to consider adoption. A live baby is better than a dead baby, even if she cant be there for it. Someone will be. Either parents or the state.

Answer 2

I would tell her how precious a gift a child is and how she has the power to make someone a mother who cannot be a mother on her own. I would also let her know that there are so many people who would do anything to have a precious baby and that in giving her baby a life, she will be not only helping the adoptive parents but her baby too. I would let her know that abortion is not as easy as it sounds, that the emotional problems she may encounter could torture her for the rest of her life, and if the abortion is done incorrectly it could make it where she can never have a child when she is ready. I would definatley try to talk her out of it, let her know her options about open adotion, private adoption or give her the number to her local social services agency who can help her. do whatever you can to talk her into saving her baby's life!

Answer 3

I would tell her abortion is wrong if you knew that if you have sex then you will be pregnant it's her fault and she should not take it out on the baby, the baby is so innocent and hasn't done anything in the wrong, What if her mother did that to her. That's not fair your mom let you live why can't the baby live, if I were her i would have never had sex, i'm 13 years old and I hate abortions I would have practiced ABSTINENCE, i am no thinking about sex and i happier that why. Boys will try everything to make you give it up but don't fall in there little trap, Iwill wait till i'm fiancially ready. She should have done the same, there's really no rush to sex. And if i were you I would tell her mama, and i hope she doesn't have an abortion. If she do god will punish her. If she's ready to have sex she's ready for a baby. Abortion to her is just the easy way out.

Answer 4

I would just tell her that their are many other options other than to kill her baby. Its a baby no matter what any of these others say. You can show her sites online about babys developments, etc..By 5 weeks the heart is beating, by 11 to 12 their tastebuds have formed and they can taste, by 18 weeks and up their hearing is developed . They get their tiny little nails and basically look jut like they do when they are born. Their are so many things you can show her and talk to her about. She needs to realize that abortion is not the only option. SHe can give up the baby, or decide to go ahead and keep the baby. Once the baby is born she wont regret it, but she may regret having an abortion. OVer 75% of women regret having had abortions. Its not an easy thing to get over.

Answer 5

When talking to her remember to tell her that's still her choice. If you sound like your trying to talk her out of it she might get deffensive so just give facts not opinions. Tell her that there are other options. If she's worried about school she can do home schooling. The government will help her if she needs medical treatment and money. She can chose to give up her baby after its born but if she does chose to do this tell her to keep the baby for at least a week so as it can get breast milk. This will also give her the oppertunity to see if she wants to keep the baby. Just make sure that you help her with anything along the way even after the baby is born. Remember you could even adopt the baby if you want to . . . just a thought . . . (If you old enough that is)

Answer 6

well first she needs to know all the facts of abortion. Later in life, scarring can occur and lead to a woman having trouble or not being able to have a baby due to abortion. Also, that there is going to be serious emotional problems afterwords. Everything will remind her of that baby that she gave up. Then talk to her about her other options such as adoption. But yet she needs to know the affects of that. Also, keeping it and that affects of that. She can't just go into something thinking it's the best and not know what it could do to her down the road. Inform her the best way you can of every option and then let her decide.

Answer 7

I would def try to talk her out of it. Some people say they could never give their baby up for adoption, but they can kill their baby? By 9 weeks pregnant the baby is already a baby, i mean liek it looks like a baby has hands and feet (i dont know if it could be earlier i just saw my first sonogram at 9 weeks) its not just some little egg or something. She will probably regret it more than anything. She'll see children in the future and know that she would have had her own baby, but she chose to kill it. Its her choice to do it, but you might want to let her know that she could be making the biggest mistake of her life., and she wont beable to take it back.

Answer 8

Considering- taking into account: taking something into account

Considering means undecided people!

I'm pro-choice.

I would try to convince her not to do it by using spiritual guidance (if she is spiritual) and other options--adoption or even keeping the child. I would also talk to her about proper forms of birth control and abstinence so she would never have to be put in a situation like this again.

I think abortion is wrong but having the choice is a right.

The key with "considering" is trying to persuade and guide the person into making a good choice for them--in THEIR life. It's not about pushing but guidance. Inevitably the decision would be hers.

Answer 9

every woman has to choose for herself what they are going to do in a situation like that. i was a teen who considered abortion(i now have a 4 year old who is my world). of course i would try to talk her out of it because by the time you find out that you are pregnant the fetus does have a heart that does beat. at that point (to me) abortion is murder. let her know that she does have other options. adoption is a great alternative. open adoptions are even better. but maybe she should have thought about what consequences her actions had in the first place!!!

Answer 10

no i would not try and talk her out of it i think that would be alot of pressure if she feels she canot handle it but i would let her know that it is okay to keep the baby and there will be support for her which ever way she goes and that she'll have help (you or someone else) telling her parents going to the docs if the father doesn't wish to stay around and i also think she should tell the father either way if she plans on keeping it don't let him sway her but if she doesn't and relizes he wants it and will be suporrtive then that could make a huge difference but i think you should make sure she knows what she wants before she talks to him about it you don't want him forcing her to get rid of it if shes leaning that way

tricky situation but one i have experience on first hand

ps i only mean telling her parents if shes gonna keep it i believe in privacy if not
