Would you do an abortion?

Question

I am only 6 weeks pregant.I really don't think I can go through another labor
Also I have a job that judges you and I am scared when they find out I am pregant they will find a reason ro fire me.

Answer 1

There's no way in hell I would ever kill a child.

That being said...

"Another labor". You've been through labor before? And you realized then that you couldn't go through it again? Flat out? You should have had a tubal ligation or used birth control or, here's a novel idea, not have sex!

You're thinking about punishing an innocent child because you didn't think?

Don't do it. Have the child and then have your tubes tied. Don't punish a child because of your lack of forethought!

Answer 2

You're job can't legally fire you for being pregnant and if they do, get yourself a good lawyer! And as for the labor....there are several options to cope with the pain, it doesn't have to be a horrible experience.

Let me tell you about my abortion experience....I was 9 weeks pregnant when I found out and I made my appointment the same day. A week later I walked into the clinic with my best friend. I filled out all the paper work, had all the blood drawn, talked with the counselor (required at the clinic I went to), then was taken to the room to speak with the Dr. He came in and explained to me exactly what would happen and then left the room so I could put my gown on. I walked straight out of that room and grabbed my friend and practically ran out of that clinic. Today my baby girl is 4 months old and is sleeping peacefully about 2 feet away from me. I also have one that is 6 and it's hard sometimes....I'm single with no family close enough to help. But even after having her a short time I couldn't imagine what my life would be like without her.

You should give this a lot of though because to me it sounds like you're just a little scared right now...don't do something you'll regret for the rest of your life.

Answer 3

Not for the reasons you have given. If you're going to have an abortion because you feel like you can't go through another labor, then you are just being selfish. Have a C-section (have them knock you out) or have an epidural. Your employer can't fire you simply because you are pregnant - I think you are just using that as an excuse to have an abortion and/or not have to go through labor. If you are that concerned about it, find another job before you start showing, where you won't have to worry about being judged. Either way, you are putting your own selfish needs before those of your baby. Could you really live with yourself if you had an abortion just because you didn't want to go through labor, or were worried about how people would judge you? I have a feeling the real issue here is that you just don't want another baby, and are trying to find ways to morally justify your actions. I have 2 sons and one grandson, and believe me, they are all FAR more important to me than the pain of going through labor or the possibility of losing a job! What does your husband/boyfriend/sperm donor think about how you feel? In the end, the decision is yours, but whatever you decide to do, when it is all said and done, I hope you end up having your tubes tied, for the sake an any future unwanted babies you may become pregnant with.

Answer 4

I'm going to assume, since you are worried about what your company and co-workers will think, that you are not married. First, While I am not against abortion, I would personally not have one. There are a lot of people in the world who are unable to have children and you have been blessed to have been given the opportunity to have them.
Second, you shouldn't base your decision on an abortion on what your employer 'might' think about you because an abortion is a lifetime decision and your job (pregnant or not) might not be a permanent career. Plus, as long as you are doing your job, you can not get fired and if you do....collect unemployment and file a discrimination law suit.
Last, I am unsure on how your previous labor went, but EPIDURAL, it's great!!!

Answer 5

No, I wouldn't have an abortion because you can fight against your job if they fire you for being pregnant!!
And far as going through another labor there is other ways like a c- section!!Don't kill your baby, think about the chance your baby won't have to grow up and change the world!!!

I'm 28 weeks pregnant with my child and it never crossed my mind, of having an abortion!! And I'm terrified of what my labor will be like!!

But.. I may not have all the details..you do what you think is best for you!!

Good Luck!!

Answer 6

Don't abort your baby because you don't want to go through labor or get fired. That is the most selfish thing I've heard. If you knew this you should have been using birth control, but all preaching aside...
Methotrexate is an option this early on so that you don't have to have an invasive abortion, it's a pill that induces miscarriage but is still "aborting"your baby.
If you decide to keep it it is ridiculous to have to worry about getting fired because you are pregnant... unless you are a nun j/k...in all seriousness you should want to find a new job if the place you work is like that. If they "find a reason" to fire you you can find a reason to sue them... discrimination...

Answer 7

Under no circumstances would I ever get an abortion! Get yourself together stop worrying about what other people think. You might think you are in a rut right now find some support from family and friends start preparing yourself for your baby. God forbid if you job fires you sue them. If your job harass you make a complaint at Equal Employment Office. If you have an opportunity find other employment that is less stressful.

Answer 8

First let me say that I'm pro-choice. Now, if your reason for having an abortion is because you don't want to go through labor (again?!) or get fired, then you shouldn't be having sex in the first place. You're an idiot and not mentally capable of handling the consequences of having sex. Your reasons don't warrant an abortion. Come up with a better excuse.

Answer 9

It is truly up to you- it is your body. They can't fire you for being pregnant, you could sue for discrimination. They may even have to give you paid maternity leave. If you fear the pain of a labor, get an epidural.

If I were female, I think I would become too attached to the new life growing within me to go through with it.

Good luck , whatever you decide to do

Answer 10

I would not have a abortion i dont believe in them but on the job thing they can not fire you because you are pregnant if they do you can sue but if you have your baby and you cannot keep him/her you can give it up for adoption alot of people who want kids cant and would love to raise your baby but it is up to you go talk to someone who does not know you and ask about your options i wish you well

Answer 11

I dont know why you can't go through another labor. But I wouldn't personally. I had one when i was 19 because i was "not ready" to be a mom. I regrete it so much. I feel like my son is missing a sibling now. And i think about it alot. It's something that will stay with you for the rest of your life. IT's not a "I did it and now its gone and i dont have to ever think about it again"
I would put alot of thought into it. I personally Tell people not to because it changes teh way you feel and live your life afterwards. To me, i'm not religious or anything, so its not about morals or killing a life. Its about how it will affect your mental health.
