what do i do?

Question

i just turned 18 and having been workinf for 2 years and have saved little by little but hees the thing my sister is 16 and is pregnent she wants me t use my money to pay for an abortion!what should i do

Answer 1

You should not do this. Tell her to put her baby up for adoption or find her own money. She needs to learn to take responsiblity for her actions. You didn't get her pregnant so you shouldn't have to pay. You earned that money. If you do decide to give it to her you need to make sure you get paid back with interest. I am prolife, and would hate to hear about another baby dieing. But, everyone has their own opinion. Be for sure about yours before agreeing to this. You may change your mind on abortion, and end up feeling guilty for supporting this. Think it through or do some research.

Answer 2

Wow, that is a tough quetion....this is your sister's mistake and she needs to learn from her mistakes. When it comes down to it, you were not the one that laid down with her and made a baby. She needs to go to the father and ask him for the money. Maybe he doesn't want to have an abortion...he needs to be clued in. I understand that this is your little sister, but you have been working hard for your money and abortions are expensive. She needs to talk to an adult before she does anything because I have a friend that had an abortion and regretted it the minute the procedure was complete. That is something that is hard to live with. Tell her to go to a clinis like planned parenthood so she can talk to someone about her options. Also, some insurances do cover abortions so she can look into her insurance plan. Good luck!

Answer 3

Wow, that is a tough situation. You have done well for yourself to save money at your age, and to consider helping your sister like this is very kind and shows what a good man you are.

That said, there are a lot of factors involved here. Do your parents know? If they don't, I wouldn't advise helping her get one until they do. If they find out about this later, they will be just as angry-or more so, at you as they are with her.

How do you feel about abortion? Is there an alternative situation that could be worked out. Finding out you are pregnant at 16 must be very scary and she may want an abortion as a fast way out, not having fully thought about how she would feel when it is done.

Abortions are very expensive, and in a lot of states most minors need parental consent to have one done. This really sounds like something you should let your parents deal with, as hard as that may be. What a great brother you are for considering her this much.

Answer 4

You worked hard for that money, so you could better your life.
She made a mistake obviously and got pregnant young, she should carry that baby and if she doesn't want it there are plenty of moms out there that would die to adopt a baby.

It is really up to your morals if you believe abortion is right or wrong if you believe this is something you should help with.

I don't think this is your resposibility this is hers and the fathers. She should of thought about that before having sex.

I would never have an abortion

Answer 5

Were is your parents because they should handle this situation but i wouldnt pay 4 it she needs 2 handle her business where is the baby daddy they either need 2 come up with the money are think about adoption because im wouldnt pay 2 kill a baby that's outrageous she should have thought about pregnacy b4 she had sex so she gonna have 2 suffer the consequences and also maybe you should look for an insurance agency that pays for things like that

Answer 6

this one is a tough one. it's your money and to be honest, you should not have to pay for her mistakes. But at the same time, she's in a scary situation. She's young and not ready for a baby. While I don't agree with abortions, many of my friends have had them. If you honestly think that your sister would work to pay you back in a reasonable ammount of time, then maybe you could loan her the money.

Answer 7

It's up to you, really. You could loan her the money, but loans to family members rarely work out. Think about how things will be 10 years from now if you don't give her the money versus if you do, that may help you decide.

Answer 8

This is a very controversial matter. I have done so much research on abortion it's not even funny. All I can say is go ahead but remember this: you will be an accessory in MURDER if you do.

Answer 9

If I were you I would look for a job that pays well and pay for her abortion so you still can have money left over cuz she is your sister and you love her, dont you. Holla

Answer 10

don't do it. She is the one who got in the situation, why do you have to pay for her mistake. Tell her to give it up for adoption, not abortion....show her www.abort73.com there is a video she should see.
