Another question for the anti-choice?

Question

If your 11-year-old daughter came home and told you she was pregnant, would you put her through the discomfort of pregnancy and the pain of delivery just to prove a point?

Bear in mind that yes, it is possible for an 11-year-old to have her period and also that, at that age, her hips have probably not developed enough yet to be able to properly give birth.

Is your anti-choice rhetoric worth physically torturing your own child?

Butterface Bob: That isn't what I said at all. AS I EXPLAINED, the body of an 11-year-old girl has not fully developed enough to carry a child. Her hips haven't spread, her uterus is still quite small and under-developed, and her body is still using a lot of energy on developing itself, much less having to devote half that energy to an embryo.

And no, it wasn't me that said "suffer for the rest of her life." Stop attributing others' quotes to me just so you can TRY to demonize my words.

I think all the people who said they would force their CHILD to give birth are cruel and inhumane.

Answer 1

The obvious answer is a Cesarean section. (Devil's advocate)

Still, I would figure out how the heck my daughter got into this position in the first place, because if I had one, and if she wasn't in school, my daughter would be chaperoned at that age.

I'm a liberal and I would not want my 11 year old daughter to go through either a pregnancy or an abortion.

Answer 2

Why not just say Pro-Life? That is the official term afterall. It'd be the equivelent of somebody saying "Anti-Life" for Pro-Choicers.

Life is not something you prove a point with. If she wasn't at risk of dieing, I do not believe in abortion, no.

Bear in mind that yes, it is possible for an 11-year-old to have her period and also that, at that age, her hips have probably not developed enough yet to be able to properly give birth.

As I said earlier, if she is at health risk, then no.

"Anti-Choice Rhetoric". Please be more civil in your discussions.

I personally believe that if a Woman's life is at stake, then yes an abortion can be performed. I do not believe they should perform one if the life isn't at stake.

I believe you shouldn't kill off the life of a baby because of the sins of its parents. I don't believe abortion will take back the fact that the person had been raped or impregnated.

Answer 3

I wouldn't put her through a pregnancy to prove a point. I'd put her through it to learn a damn lesson, and learn how to be a good mother! She did it, she will have consequences to pay, just like everybody else. I will not let her think murdering her baby is the right answer for her. It is just as painful, and heart-wrenching for anybody to go through an abortion. Later, she will think back on her lost child if she aborts him/her. She may even regret it in her older years, and mourn. As her parent, I will help her to understand, and raise my precious grandchild. If my 11 year old daughter was raped, and got pregnant, I would still want my grandchild, and I would show my precious daughter that I love her, and the baby she will have, is meant to be loved, too. It is not the child's fault. God has his reasons which we don't always know, but the death of an innocent child is NEVER right, no matter what the cost to those who would raise him or her.

Answer 4

Sigh.
I love how you equate the natural process of child-birth to torture. It shows just how intelligent and mature you are. And especially that I am somehow responsible, not the daughter. Am I subjecting her to the torture of gravity if she chooses to jump off a bridge?

What's more important, the comfort, convenience, and good feelings of my hypothetical daughter, or the ENTIRE LIFE of my grand child? Gee, let me think about it. 9 months of discomfort, versus potentially 100 years of an entire life.....
...still thinking, this really is a hard one... I mean it really is hard to compare a whole human life and lifetime to 9 months... I've got an idea, if the only way to make my daughter feel better is to commit murder, can I kill you instead of my grandchild? Or do you think maybe we can find a solution that doesn't involve murder?

I don't know why I even bother. The fact that you asked this question displays that you lack the intelligence or reasoning capacity to understand my answer.

Answer 5

yes. tons of young girls have gone through child birth at a young age and this day and age of medicine it would quite possible to help with the pain, also a c-section would work quite well.

i would not have my daughter go through pregnancy just to make a point i would support my child and love her, also i would love my grandchild. she would finish school and i would raise the baby like my own child.

having an abortion on a 11 year old would damage her chances of ever having children again or it would kill her. as where having the baby, even at such a young age, is a normal part of live.

Answer 6

So, now childbirth is "torture"? Another of you folks (or was it you?) asked why a woman had to "suffer" for a lifetime (i.e. become a mother) for a mistake she made?

So, in your opinion, childbirth is "torture" and motherhood is "a lifetime of suffering". I just wanted to clarify your position.

The entire concept of the pro-life philosophy is that abortion is the death of a baby, which it truly is. You can call it a zygote, a fetus or whatever you will, but the fact is that those are just names of a baby's stages of development.

Secondly, we recognize, correctly, that the decision point about whether to have a baby is when you decide to go ahead and screw. Getting an abortion is, in truth, abandonment of responsibility by killing an inconvenient life.

Teaching responsibility to a child does not occur when you kill another human life so the child doesn't have to suffer consequences for their bad decision.

So, yes, not only would I refuse her abortion, I would demand she give birth and give the child up for adoption.

Oh, and I've already seen the depression and suffering of women who thought abortion was the answer. It lasts a lifetime.

Answer 7

It isn't about proving a point. It's about killing a child. If I had an 11 year old daughter that came home pregnant, abortion would not be an option. Of course, a pregnant 11 year old may be just par for the course in liberal circles but in my conservative household, my children will be taught about consequences for their actions.

Answer 8

If she did then I am not doing my job of protecting her. Also dont give me this crap about rape either. An 11 year old girl that is in a place where she might get raped is again, the parent not doing there job. Now if it did happen, well that is not what pro life is about. We are concerned with people using aborrtion for birth control.

Answer 9

That would be a devastating situation. Unfortunately killing unborn children is murder. I really think there are many ignorant people who get caught in the idea of "woman's choice over her body" Its not her body being murdered, its a baby. I think if most pro-choicers actually witnessed a abortion and saw little feet, arms, and the baby' s face would instantly turn antabortion.

Answer 10

My 11-year-old daughter wouldn't come home pregnant because she was raised with morals....Furthermore, my daughter is now 14, and still is not allowed to even be in a situation where a pregnancy results....This isn't a question of anti-choice, this is a question of parenting....
