All of these people who say "well if SHE can spread her legs then SHE should be responsible for her own actions!!" and "there is no excuse for unwanted pregancies because of all of the protection that is available" blah..blah..blah!!! What about the boys who are also responsible for impreganting teenage girls, where do they take responsibility? What about abused women or girls who are raped or taken against their will??? I feel that if you are SO AGAINST abortion, then YOU NEED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE. Provide a loving home, warm nutritious food and good clothing for all of these women and girls who feel that they have no other choice but to terminate their pregancies. Then after the birth of the child, raise it, care for it, and love it. Until these things take place....quit your preaching and figure out a way to be part of a solution if abortion is such a problem!!!!!

To Shedevila: Government programs my foot!!! I am a single mother, I have a job, health insurance and my childs father is a deadbeat dad who doesn't pay squat!!! I could go to court for child support but thats gonna cost me thousands of dollars that I don't have. I was LAUGHED out of the welfare office, I couldn't even get foodstamps because I make too much money, even though it doesn't meet the cost of living. I am sure that there are thousands more out there in my same situation. I never once regret my decision to have my baby, I love her so much, but I can see where a teenager would be overwhelmed at the prospect of having to raise a child alone in an unforgiving world!!!

You were entitled to your opinion, now I am also. Here is mine. EVERYONE needs to take responsability for their actions. Teenage women and men. (yes I said women and men, if they are old enough to have sex, that is what I refer to them as)
I WAS A TEEN MOM. There is NO REASON IN THE WORLD a person can not make it work. All you have to do is get off your a$$ and make it happen. If a WOMAN (teenager or not) is not ready to have a child then she should not be having sex.. that goes the same for a teen age boy.
Maybe that is why people try to push abstinence until marriage?? What you think on that? And no I am not a religious nut, but I do not support KILLING INNOCENT CHILDREN...
Now when you say " feel that if you are SO AGAINST abortion, then YOU NEED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE. Provide a loving home, warm nutritious food and good clothing for all of these women and girls who feel that they have no other choice but to terminate their pregancies. Then after the birth of the child, raise it, care for it, and love it" have you ever heard of ADOPTION???? THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF DESERVING PARENTS WAITING FOR THESE BABIES THAT ARE BEING MURDERED. They ARE willing to pay for ALL the expenses while the mom is pregnant INCLUDING A HOME. Get off your high horse. You can try to sugar coat the killing of an innocent child all you like, but I'm not having it. I got pregnant at 16, I had my first baby at 17. I TOOK RESPONSABILIY for MY actions an now I am BLESSED WITH A PERFECT 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER!!!! Was my life easy, no, now I am doing GREAT though. It just took time. Are you upset that you do no qualify for welfare? That is something YOU should be proud of!!!!! I could not live with myself if I raised my children on welfare. That is there for people who get into situtations that need it. There was a point in time when I got laid off because my job moved to wisconsin, all the sudden I was out of work, I did need welfare.. I was on it for 2 months and I HATED IT. But I had to do what I had to do for my kids. This country is so screwed up when they think that abortion is a form of birth control.
I can not even believe you came on here and had the guts to say that...
ADOPTION.. its a BEAUTIFUL THING!!!!!!!!

I am pro-life and pro-adoption. I believe that life begins at conception, and that whenever a child is conceived he/she was given life immediately by our Creator. I do not think that there are any reasons that I would support abortions. Let me explain why. Granted, being raped is horrible, and if I was raped and got pregnant, it wouldn't be easy to carry that child for 9 months, but what is easy and what is right are sometimes 2 different things. I most likely would not raise that child, but I would place for adoption. The reason I am pro-adoption- is because my birth was. I am so thankful for her that she gave me life, even if she could not raise me herself. Also very thankful that the birth moms of my 2 children felt the same way. I am not harmed psychologically, by the way. My children aren't messed up either. I WAS PLACED, or relinquished as you call it- and I am fine.- not everyone that was adopted had a hard time. No being pro-life is not controlling another woman's body- the baby has a separate body. The woman does not have 2 hearts, 4 lungs, 4 arms , you know what I mean. Those that kill with bombs are REALLY NOT PRO LIFE. Let me ask you a question, and I would really like an answer. Let us say that your mother could not raise you, would you have rather been aborted or adopted?

"Provide a loving home, warm nutritious food and good clothing for all of these women and girls who feel that they have no other choice but to terminate their pregancies. Then after the birth of the child, raise it, care for it, and love it."
It's called adoption. Medical, food, clothing, ect are provided for a mother who is giving her child to a loving home. That to me is a reasonable solution. I am personally prochoice, but I think abortion is overused and is used by many as birth control.
I think the men/boys that are resposible should have to foot some of the bill as well. Our system is screwed up and disgusting to say the least.

I hear ya. It's ridic. Last night I read a question that was word for word "well if SHE can spread her legs then SHE should be responsible for her own actions!!" I don't even know what to say to that.
I feel that a lot of these people only care about the fetus before it's born; they don't care about the baby or the mother after.

You're saying after the child is born take care of it. Child is the keyword. If you can't shoot your annoying neighbor legally then you should not be allowed to take the life of this child you're talking about. As far as the stupid boy goes his parents should have raised him better too! People do adopt kids everyday. Killing them before their first breath is not the answer. People need to realize that people have the right to life. Saddam killed people for getting in his way and so did Hitler and the world gasped. Women kill people, children, and the world says her body her choice. And most pregnancies are not the result of rape so pro death fans should quit playing that card.

Damn Straight! Sure "everyone's entitled to their own opinions" but do you notice how it's only the pro-lifers who push these opinions on everyone?
It drives me mad that overall women are villified for "causing" unwanted pregnancies - whether or not they choose to abort - yet men are completely let off the hook.

I completely agree with you. So many people are against abortions and they are entitled to their opinion, but i highly doubt that they have been in the situation where they were pregnant teenagers and had not slightly considered abortion.

well last time i checked it was a free country so you can voice your opinion but in response to boys responsibility there's child support. there are homes for girls who are pregnant and lots of government support. also there is adoption for the child there are alot of options other than abortion. that's why we preach

Just like you did here, everyone has their own right to their own opinions. Everyone must make their own choices for what they stand for. That's the beauty of living where we live. We get to all have our own opinions.
