Question

abortions?


im 14 and no im not pregnant. im doing a report.

i dont think there's anything wrong with abortions personally. I think that in some situations it can be sort of a good choice. Like a 14 year old girl that lives poor. she gets an abortion for the better. she has no money or resources to take care of a baby what so ever. and adoption is not all that great either because children just get put into foster homes or put up for adoption, and especially nowadays people are wanting to have their own biological children and therefore the children spend maybe their first 6 years of life in a foster home. i would rather not make the baby suffer beforehand then leave the baby in someone elses hands to take care of. i know that it may be alive but it doesnt know whats going on and it doesnt know pain.

Answer 1

I feel that abortions are the girl's choice, and she should be able to do whatever she chooses to the baby. If she wants to terminate the pregnancy, that's her right. It's often in everyone's best interest anyway, because teens who accidentally get pregnant young and keep the baby often end up not being able to support the child.


Have you ever read the book "Freakanomics"? In the book, it talks about how a decrease in crime rates in the early 1990s was a direct result of people getting many abortions in the 70's, because all the kids that would have been alive and on the streets or at poverty levels in the 90's weren't born. It's interesting.

Answer 2

I will give you my personal opinion. I am pro-life but I dont believe in standing in front of aborting clinics yelling murderer to the women or shooting the doctors that's just crazy to me! I do not think there are any good reason for abortions which to ME is murder. Although I can not speak for victims of rape and incest since I have never walked in there shoes. I think adoption is always the best options. Actually there are 100's of people on a waiting list to adopt a baby. I dont know the statics but I know as a child gets older there are harder to adopt. We plan on having 3 of our own children and then adopting. My husband was adopted thats why we want to. What pisses me off about the whole it's my right I can have an abortion if I was are the girls that sleep around with no protection and get pregnant and think oh I can just rid of it. Then the next year they are right back at the clinic doing the same thing. In closing I do believe no matter how small the child is and even though they may not know whats going on they can still feel pain. I had an ultrasound done at 12 weeks. This little baby was just moving all around it was amazing! I the pics so if you wanna see just ask.

Answer 3

I am 3 months pregnant and LOVING it, so my opinion is unbias. I am not completely against it, because there may be some outstanding case where they really may need to. What my friend in high school did I fully support and it is my opinion to all of this. If you do not want the baby, give it away for adoption. Give that being a life, let it live, but dont put it through a life of not being loved, not having proper care, or not having a fully wonderful life. There are so many options for birth control, it is personal stupidity to get pregnant if you would just get an abortion. If you are that irresponsible, take the consequence and have the baby, but dont mess up its life, or there own life for that matter, get your self in a better position. Another large reason for this is: what if the girl had an abortion and 10 years later was married and had a kid(s) I gaurantee you that in the back of the mind, at night she'll have dreams, that there could have been one more... what a horrible feeling. You have the joy of having children, but you now realize you let one go, by what you can only descirbe as "death by choice" a mother cannot help thinking that at least a little bit.

Answer 4

I personally would never do it, no matter what, because - there are SO many people out there wanting to adopt, in some cases they have to wait YEARS for a baby, so why would you kill an innocent life because of a mistake YOU made - when there may be the perfect family just waiting for the baby you want to murder?
I can understand girls who get raped or who are really young doing this, but personally, it is not the choice I would make... I have had a couple friends cry to me for YEARS over the abortions they had when they were in their 20's -- wishing they had never done it, and feeling guilt!

An Abortion Survivor's Story

In September of 1975, a woman discovered that she was pregnant. Things were very difficult for her, as she was raising two sons, six and 15 years old. Their father had walked out on them and refused to help care for the boys financially, or in any other way. The only alternative for this woman, it seemed, was to abort this unexpected baby. After all, she could barely afford to feed the children she already had.

Between the months of September 1975 and January 1976, this woman had three therapeutic abortions in an attempt to rid herself of the unborn baby. These abortions, also known as a "salting out procedure" are performed by injecting a very large syringe into the woman's abdomen, removing a certain amount of amniotic fluid out of the womb, and then injecting three times the amount of saline back in, thus "burning" the baby out. For reasons only God knows, these abortions did not take and on April 21, 1976, two months premature, her baby was born. The child was perfect and healthy, weighing four pounds, five ounces.

Unfortunately on March 16, 1977, the mother passed away, less than a year after her baby girl was born. After the woman's death, the infant's father and paternal grandmother took custody of the baby and her two brothers. As this baby girl grew up, her father told her about the three abortions she had undergone in her mother's womb but this little girl never believed him, as she assumed that if a baby is aborted, he or she could not possibly survive.

The truth only came to this girl when she was eighteen years old, married, and approximately five months pregnant with her first child. This girl needed and soon obtained her mother's medical records from the hospital that had treated her. Imagine her utter shock as she read about how her mother tried to terminate her unborn child three times. As the young girl read the medical documents, the new life inside of her was stirring and kicking as if to say "Mommy please don't get any ideas."

Today this young woman is 25 years old and is raising a family of her own. She is healthy and normal in every way, with no physical deformities of any kind.

I am the child that I have been writing about. My mother had no right to try and abort me, no matter what the circumstances were, no matter how inconvenient her pregnancy was. And if she was here with us today, I'm sure she would agree. Life is too precious to simply throw away. Now I can speak out against abortion from the baby's perspective. Any baby would choose life.

Answer 6

I've looked around on the internet, and most sites say the the nervous system does develop within the first month of pregnancy. It is possible, but not certain that a fetus could 'feel' abortion, and I personally feel that it is unlikely that they could feel it in the same way that a fully-grown infant or child feels pain.
Some women feel that it is better to terminate a pregnancy than to bring a child into an uncertain world, and others feel that it is murder. It is such a personal question that there is no one thing that every woman in a certain situation should do.

Answer 7

theres where u are wrong..unborn babies do know pain...scientific studies have even showed evidence of a fetus being able to feel pain...ultrasound has showed babies cry,get upset etc. regardless of what people want to believe these babies are alive and kicking..they have fully formed body parts such as arms,legs,eyes...they can smile,cry,frown and dream in the womb..that shows that these unborn fetus's are not just globs of tissue.its horrible and cruel...No people dont wanna have babies on there own more then adoption now...there are still millions that CANNOT ave children and are on waiting lists...i know people who want to adopt even though they can have children...anyone who thinks abortion is ok is not right with God and doesnt have any morals...
maybe these 14 yr olds u are speaking of need to not have sex since they are still babies themselves...if they can lay down knowing right from wrong why cant they stand up and learn to be a mother???

Answer 8

Except that it does know pain. You can find videos of actual abortions being performed, and see the fetus inside struggle.

I think if you feel that you are ready to have sex, you should be reasy to face the consequences. A 14 year old girl that lives poor should know better than to have unprotected sex that results in an unwanted pregnancy- but if it does, she should also be mature enough to accept the results of her actions. Abortion is extremely selfish- it's sacrificing an innocent victim on the altar of egocentric perpetuation.

Answer 9

I believe that it should be a woman's choice regardless of how she ended up in the siuation. What I don't agree with are girls who are forced to have abortions because either the childs father doesn't want it or it is the wrong sex. Even though 14 may be when a girl can have sex it comes down to is she emotionally ready to accept the consequences of her actions.

Answer 10

there are so many people in this world who could and would be the best parents that a child could ask for - unfortunately they cannot have children. these people would love to adopt children. its a hell of a lot better idea than killing a poor innocent child
