What do you think about teen abortions.?

Question

a) 15-17?
b) how do you confront parents without when your scared to death?

Answer 1

Abortion is wrong if your 15 or 50. It doesn't matter its killing a person. Just sit your parent down and say mom, dad I'm pregnant and i want to do the right thing and this is your choice (1.keep my child, 2.Place my child up for adoption) you are the one who has to live with this for the rest of your life. You made one mistake by getting pregnant but two wrongs do not make a right. Do not punish your child to death for a mistake you made. If nothing else why don't you give your child up in an open adoption so you can still find out about it, know its okay and see pictures without being responsible for it daily. I know in the end you will make the right choice. God bless.

Answer 2

1. Your parents may surprise you but you know them better then anyone.
2. If you are a church goer, you might talk to your minister/priest/rabbi/imam or whatever to act as an intermediary.
3. You might try asking your doctor to break it to your parents
4. For both 2 and 3, you and the father still need to be there. Unless you were raped, it was your choice (and the father's) to take a chance so hiding is not an option.
5. The opinions of abortion clinic personnel, anyone associated with government-funded social services (including school officials), etc are worthless since they have reasons other then your best interests for their "answers".

It's always hard facing up to something that is socially unacceptable but necessary. Abortion should never be decided on in a vacuum - bring as many people as you can trust into the decision - especially since you don't have a lot of life experience yet.

Answer 3

You know what hunny don't listen to the ones who are trying to make you feel guilty about abortion. It is a women's right to do what she wants with her body. If someone else is having an abortion nobody should judge or ridicule her about her decision because it is your body, you are the one who is going through it. Why don't you ask the ones who are saying abortion is wrong and this and that to be there for you and help you through it since they are so hell bent on making you feel bad about a decision you are making. I know quite a few women who have had abortions and I do not judge or think differently of them. I think every women makes this decision based on how they feel I mean some women use abortion as a form of birth control and that is wrong. If you were truly trying to protect against pregnancy and something happened that is understandable things happen.

I understand what you are going through, I know this is a tough time for you especially with all of the harsh things some of these people have to say. If you would like to e-mail me please feel free to do so.

As for your parents, if you do decide that abortion is the way you want to go I am going to suggest that you talk with your mother about this or someone you trust you really are going to need to have someone who is going to be able to be your emotional support. I wish you the best of luck and in whatever choice you decide on make sure it comes from the heart. Babies are a lot of work and time and money but they are the most precious things in this world. I love being a mommy and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Just make sure when you decide that it is going to be something that you are going to be ok with in the future. Abortion is a very emotional thing and it can cause severe depression. Please do e-mail me I would really like to help you through this. I promise I won't judge you!! Good luck sweetheart. keep your head up and stay strong

Answer 4

I don't like abortions at any age.

You should start with your mom. She'll be better able to advise you, and she may have some personal experience through friends that will give her a better handle on what to do. She will know how best to break the news to your dad.

If you start with your dad he will be more likely to be angry and that is destructive more than it is helpful. Your parents--if they are normal--love you and want the best for you. The best would be to have the baby and place it for adoption.

It is very normal to be afraid if you are 15 and pregnant. But it happens a lot and there are agencies that can help.

If you don't think your parents will accept the news you can take it to your minister at church or find any of several social services agencies that can advise you. However chances are your parents are going to be sympathetic and helpful.

Good luck and God bless.

Answer 5

Im personally against but ultimately its the person's choice. if a girl feels that she is too young and can't handle a baby then she can get one but I would recommend adoption seeing as how there are a lot of people out there who want kids but can't have them. As far as confronting your parents you need to just sit down and let them know that you made a mistake they'll understand. This is something that you do not want to go through alone so having your parents there to help and support you is very important. Remember they are your parents even though they will be angry and very upset they still love you.

Answer 6

I believe that its your own body and you have the right to do what you want with it. whether its an abortion, piercings, tattoos or even purple hair its your right. no one should tell you that you cant do something with your body if you feel that you want to do something or have the need to try something new. if your pregnant and you want to have a abortion you need to make sure that your 100% sure. If you have a abortion its not easy. you have to live with what you done for the rest of your life. dont have a abortion just because your scared of what your parents would do if they found out. If you want to tell your parent and you really cant tell them to their face, write them a note. seriously thats what I did when I couldnt tell my mom things to her face. Good luck!

Answer 7

I think abortions are murder. The girl should give her baby up for adoption instead. Your parents will find out eventually. That baby deserves a life just as much as you did. Do you think your mother should have aborted you?

Answer 8

It all depends on the reasoning behind it. If it was due to a rape then yes I agree with it. But if its because you dont think you can handle the baby or handle the life of being a parent, then you should have thought about it long before you did the deed.

Answer 9

I don't recommend it as a form of birth control but I believe in a woman's right to choose.

I do not believe anyone under the age of 18 and unmarried should be having sex at all, period. There is no reason for children to be engaging in a behavior reserved for adult, mature, married couples.

Answer 10

a1)the oroginal reason abortions existed was because the mother might have complications and the pregnancy might case death. im ok w./ that
a2)i think 14 and up is the age, but if there are no risks from the pregnancy,the baby should be put up for foster care
b1)THIS IS SOMETHING PARENTS WILLL BE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF AND GIVE ADVICE FOR!!!THEY MIGHT LOOK ANGRY AND PISSED, YES THEY'RE-VERY- DISAPOINTED, BUT DEEP DOWN THEY WANNA HELP THEIR TEENAGE DAUGHTERS
