How do you all feel about ABORTION?

Question

Not the abortion of a person that has been raped, or abused, nor that of a young girl that might be pregnant with a child of incest, also not when there may be a medical problem with either the child or mother if the pregnancy is carried full-term. I am talking about abortion of women that are using that as their ONLY form of birth-control. And the women that feel like a child would mess up their life or something like that. I am talking about the ones that are afraid of the embarassment of having a child out of wedlock, or the ones that let the father of their child dicatate the outcome of the childs life (if the child gets the chance to have one). I will tell you now, that i am biased. I feel that yes, women do have the right to choose, but that they made there decision when they decided to sleep with the person. I am fifteen, and a female, and i am totally AGAINST abortion for any reason other than the ones mentioned at the begining of this question. And i just want 2cwut u think

I just want you to know that i am pretty well educated on this topic, it's not just a shot in the dark, or something that my mother has drilled into my head, i have volunteered at a women's center and seen the figures (of abortion rates), and i don't like it. I just don't want you to answer my question as if i am ignorant, ok

I am not trying to change other people's opinions, i just wanted to know what they were. I was just being honest when i clearly stated what i felt. You make your own choice, i was just telling you mine

Answer 1

I feel all abortion no matter what the reason is wrong! This may sound silly, old fashioned & a bit hipocirtical but if people did things in the right order we wouldn't even be having this conversation... You get married... (for right reasons) & have sex (protected or not) get pregnant ( maybe?? but who cares your married & will find a way to accept that blessing into your life!) I am sure that I have upset someone with that answer. I am truley sorry for anyone who has suffered sexual abuse, & the thought of carring some creeps baby around for 9 months gives me the willies but... BUT... It is half of you, weather you wanted it or not...And you could make some other couple, a couple unable to have children, that cry & pray everyday for a child, a happy family! That is my 2 cents take it or leave it!

Answer 2

Every situation is different. I believe that it is up to the individual. The best argument I ever heard about abortion went something like this: "Weather you are for it or not that's your choice, but I don't want the government or someone else telling me what I can or can't do to my body." Sometimes a person just isn't ready to be a parent. No form of birth control is absolute. You just have to ask yourself, "Will I be able to give this child the future they deserve?" "Will I be able to give this child up for adoption?" On a side note, I am completely against late term abortion. In this day and age there is no reason to wait 6 months before making a decision. Once you know make a choice then and there.

Answer 3

I am 100% against abortion period. Way too many people out there want babies and cannot have them and alot of women just feel like abortion is their own form of birth control! It literally makes me sick to my stomach. My best friend in 10th grade got pregnant and had an abortion just because she didn't want her figure to be messed up during bathing suit season. She actually said those words to me.....and yes, I never talked to her after that.

A FETUS is a BABY. The baby has a heartbeat. How a woman can kill their own flesh and blood is beyond me. That is a heartless person. Because if you can kill something you created then how can you be a good person? I have known of girls who have it done, and not one would go back and do it again. I also know of girls who wanted to but didn't and say that them having a baby was the best decision they ever made.

Well, that is my .02

Answer 4

i am against it too but one time i feel that abortion is ok is when a women or young grl is raped by someone thay dont even know i feel that is the best choice unless they wont to keep it cus legal problems and all sorts of problems could come up and i mean its just not right for a women that was raped to have to go through with a pregnancy because some inconciderate jerk got them preggo it wasnt there fault and some arnt ready to be a mother im 16 and was preg but lost it about a month ago i absolutly would not abort my baby i loved my jelly bean and wanted it my bf wanted it too weve been dating for a little over 2 yrs and want a baby i stiill want one i think im preg again truthfully i hope i am cus i want a baby so bad i know this sounds stupid but i had this cat that i raised from when it was born to 8 yrs old i trained him to sit in a stroller do tricks and he wore baby clothes and drank out of a bottle he weighed 25-30 pounds but the vet said he was just a happy healthy cat he was my garfield and my baby and for years was my only friend but just a few months ago he was killed by 5 big dogs while i was at my dads in PA i live in TN so i had to fly home a week early just to burry him god i cryed my baby was gone so now i have to have something to take care of and nurture i dont care how old i am ur age does not determine ur ability to be a mother u attitude and ur smarts and how much responsibility you have

Answer 5

Abortion hurts me very deeply, Before it had not affected me as much, I thought OK it is woman's choice for abortion if she very well need it, However let me tell you a sob story. When I was 21 I had fiance, she had cheated on me and gotten pregnant, however refused a DNA test. We broke up and the child was aborted.. I will never know if that child was mine or his. All in all I now think Abortion is not only wrong but cruel. It is killing an innocent life that does not have any say in the whole thing. It is sad thing.

Answer 6

personally i could never go through with it even if I wasn't financially set for a child. i used to think that the only time it was acceptable is if someone was raped-how could they bear a child with so many bad memories. if someone makes the decision to go through with sex then they know the consequences and should step up to them. i find it sad that so many women turn to it now days. i wouldn't want to force someone to keep a child they did not want or love but where have peoples morals gone, i look at it as killing an innocent being, i find it sad and heartbreaking and disgusting on the womens behalf to not take pride in her body or appreciate her capabilities (giving birth) there are so many women out there who would do anything in the world to bring a life into th eworld and cherish a child and so many others throw it away like it is nothing. i just don't understand it.

Answer 7

I agree with you. Any other mistake in life, you accept and deal with. This is one mistake that people can choose not to have to accept just because they are able to get an abortion. People who have sex without protection and say "oops, I'll just get an abortion", should not be allowed to have sex. It is not hard to use protection, it is just laziness and it is appalling. I think the only way to overcome this is education. If people knew that there were plenty of birth control options available the abortion rates would decline.

Answer 8

If you feel you are old enough to have sex, you should be old enough to deal with the consequences. It doesn't matter if a woman uses condoms, spermicide, a diaphragm, and the pill - there is no foolproof birth control (aside from abstinence, of course). If they're afraid to have children out of wedlock, they should not be having sex in the first place. I have been pro-life ever since I understood what abortion was and I pray that my children will feel the same way when they get to the age of understanding things like that.

Answer 9

PRO-LIFE all the way you make your bed, you lie in it neither of my pregnancies were planned i am a married 20 year old with two little girls that are 14 months and 3 weeks apart! Is it hard yes but i made the choice to have unprotected sex, my cute little body is gone and has stretch marks, i don't get a lot of sleep, and i feel a heck of a lot older than i am but my babies did not ask to be brought into this world so who am i to play god and take them out! everyone deserves a chance!

Answer 10

I agree with you. I think that it is a very immature way to get out of a situation you do not want to be in. It is just another example of how society cannot take responsibility for its actions. I think that if you don't want to get pregnant, don't have sex. Especially not unprotected sex. Birth control (though not always 100%) is available to nearly every person who wants it regardless of age or ability to pay for it. I think you have seen first hand how it is used and have formed and educated opinion. That is so rare for girls your age. Good job!

Before anyone gets bent out of shape, I am not commenting on victims of rape, incest, mothers with medical issues, etc...
