Reasons why you shouldn't:
1. You could be holding a very important human whose live may have a profound effect on the world.
2. That sperm that fertilized your egg had to outrace 1 billion other sperm to get to there, now, you're going to flush that miracle down the drain?
3. There could be health issues getting an abortion that could affect your psychologically or physically when you plan on having children in the future.
4. You could feel an intense amount of regret that could put you into a depression later on in your life when you are in your late 40s and nearing metopause (when you can't have children anymore).
5. You will have this history about yourself which will make you very insecure both about being involved in future relationships.
6. There are families out there who desperately want children but cannot for physiological reasons. If you cannot afford to raise your child, they would pay for all your medical bills to raise your child and they would give that child the love you wouldn't have time or capacity to.
Why you should get an abortion:
1. you were raped by man who you never have wanted to impregnate you.
2. you are holding sperm from a direct family member such as your father or brother or grandfather.
3. it's life or death. you could die from giving birth to this child.
4. the fetus you are carrying is carrying a very serious birth defect that would render its life useless.
Yes, you do have a choice to either abort or not to abort, but if you have character, you'd keep it and if you don't have the time to love it, would give two loving parents the chance to do what you can't.
Although I support a woman's right to chose, I see many more reasons why a woman should not abort than to abort.
Ultimately, you know what is right for you.

You should think really carefully about what you really what. I had an abortion two years ago and i feel that at the time it was the right choice for me and my partner.
We have since had a child who we both love dearly. However although i can see that the circumstances were not right for me the first time i still look back at the termination with great sadness and loss.
You appear to have already made up your mind. However you must go with what feels right for you. The process of having the abortion is scarry and will leave you with lots of feelings afterwards that you may find difficult to cope with- please let someone you trust konw- as this is not something you shoud have to go through alone.
If you have any religious or spritual beliefs please look at the implications of these if you do decide to terminate as my faith was questioned by having the termination- i am still trying to find peace with god- if he exists!
My advice would be to draw out a five year plan- what you want- who you want to be etc and see if having a child will fit into this. You do also have to consider the babies fathers views- as there may be lifelong implications for him too.
Please try to sleep on this- and follow your heart (remember children do grow with you- my sister had a baby at 19 and has since got a degree and a husband and is enjoying her beautiful daughter). Good luck. Katie

NO!
if you do there are several things to consider:
1. you could harm yourself permanently from the surgery, even if it is done professionally.
2. a lot of people consider abortion murder and you may be thought less of
3. every time you see a loving child/ parent couple you will be reminded of the child you could have had, the one that could have had a future, a life, love, and happiness, but you chose to take this all away with an abortion.
don't do it, at least give birth and give it up for adoption so you don't have to live with the guilt.
ive seen it before, and the devastation it can cause and i don't want any more women to face such a thing.
please don't get the abortion.

I regretfully had an abortion years, ago. My reasoning was pressure from the baby's father. I was real young, and he was alot older. He made so many promises, that wasn't kept after it was done. I wish I could take it back. For years after-wards, I fell in a deep depression, as he moved on and has a great life. To bad you can`t abort a bad relationship, huh? lol. I really thought GOD would never forgive me, and hate me for what I have done. I found my way back to GOD last year, and now I know I have been forgiven. As for the fetus, I am sure its with GOD. I am happily pregnant again, and feel you really should seek counseling before making that decision. DO NOT do it, w/out really thinking about what your doing.

No your baby wont go to hell. I have always been against abortion. No one can judge you as they are not walking in your shoes right now. What I would say is make sure you have thought this through. Having a baby is a major life change but an abortion is not an easy thing to have to go through. Just make sure its a decision you won't regret in the future.

I really don't think you should get an abortion but it is totally up to you . You you have to live with you choice for the rest of your life. There is other options like adoption. If you cant raise the child then give it up for adoption don't have an abortion.
Your baby will not go to hell. We, my Church, believes all children under age 8 are unaccountable for there sins. So for child will not go to hell. Your baby will go to the highest level of heaven and live with heavenly Father if you get an abortion. Which you will probably regret.
What ever decisions you make it is up to you not us here. Where just here to help you not to tell you what to do. Just remember that.

I don't believe you should get an abortion because there is a living being growing inside of you and no matter what anyone says it is alive it's a baby and it deserves the same chance that you and I got, to live. If you don't want to be a parent then you can give the child up for adoption. There are thousands of people out there who cannot have children and would cherish and love your baby for the rest of their lives. I would love to raise your baby as my own or to be able to get pregnant and carry a child inside of me to feel the changes that my body will be going through and to see the life a real live person come from inside of me. I am 37 years old thought and I cannot have a child of my own. I envy you but it is your choice.kaydee07@yahoo.com

Well this is always about your choice. Before you really go and do it though, you should go speak with your doctor and maybe get some input from the father (if you are speaking).
But the end rule is, if YOU don't want it, it is entirely your choice and you shouldn't listen to anyone else but yourself. So long as you are making an educated and positive decision for yourself I see no reason to create an argument for you to the contrary.
Consider though you may regret this action in the future, I know I regret it a little when my gf and I got an abortion 4 years ago! But you move on :)

I will tell you this- an abortion is taking the life of your child, but there are also physical and emotional risks to you that you may not even know about. You can have infections, bleeding that will not stop, torn uterus, and many others- the emotional risks, are stress, guilt, shame, Every year on the day you chose to have an abortion, there can be flashbacks. This is proven- and I counsel women who are contemplating abortion or have had them. How about adoption? There are many couples who desire to have children and cannot. I am adopted and have have 2 adopted kids, and both of my kids birth moms chose life, even though others in their lives tried to convince them to have an abortion. This is not a quick fix believe me, If you want to talk a little more personally, please email me.

You need to stop posting your personal business on a message board and go talk to a professional. There are too many factors that you have left out of your question.
For instance:
How old are you?
Is there a chance that you might have an STD?
Are you financially and emotionally prepared to raise this child?
And most importantly:
WHY do you want to get an abortion?
No one on yahoo can even begin to try to help you based on the lack of information. Best of luck with whatever you choose.
