would you bring a child into this world knowing you cannot provide for it? or have it and live in poverty?

Answer 1

I won't abort it if that is what you are asking! There is always a way if you try hard enough...

Answer 2

It would really depend on my age,and thats it...I would bring the child into the world as I did,and i was left alone and ended up on welfare but that was then ,we went through alot but it made my relationship with my child a strong 1,the have subsidized daycare so you can continue school get a good education and then a great job and believe me when I say,when you see your child it makes your question sound ridiculous,however,I am also prochoice its your body your life your choice to make,there are many private and confidential place to go for pregnant woman who will help you to bring a baby into the world if thats what you choose and they will counsel you to the extent you need it,it is a very hard descision to make and maybe with the right advice you will make the right choices,I also believe the old ways that if you were mature enough to lay down or stand up..lol and make a baby then you are also mature enough to raise one,I suggest all teenage girls take up babysitting an enfant then after 6 months-a year then descide,are you ready?but it still all comes down to a choice,stats say most teenage girls end up as single parents as most fathers turn to dead beat dads as they cant support a baby nor do they want to.........its a hard choice but it is a CHOICE...............good-luck

Answer 3

There is such a thing as called adoption. If you are not married and are unable to provide for a child's needs, then really think hard about giving the baby up for adoption. There are a lot of couples out there that are just waiting for that opportunity. There are also places one can go and get help with shelter and food while you are pregnant.

Answer 4

Even though we know that we cannot provide for it because of our poverty, we still hope. We hope that things will be different. It doesnt matter who you are or where you come from, we all dream of that better life. The ones who are smarter than us, love a child enough to give it to someone who can provide for him/her. The ones that are smarter than that, are careful not to get pregnant.

The thing is, I have many friends who are on welfare and have more than one children. These women love their children deeply. But they are still living at a poverty level. But those/our children are happy. They sometimes can find it hard to accept the fact that their parents cannot afford $80 sneakers, or send them to Disney Land, but they go on.

There is always someone out there with a situation far worse than yours. I live at a poverty level, but it wasn't always that way. And in my state of contentment, I had four of the most beautiful children one could want. But since, my situation has changed. But I will always see to it that my children have food on the table, and lights to do their homework with, hot water to bathe in, and heat to keep them warm. The rest, I work harder at to give them, so it's not that frequent. But as anyone can ask them, it is me who is thier protector and provider. I do not seek to be their friend but I teach them that no matter what the circumstance, they can always come to me for "anything" and they do.

Had I been in the situation I'm in now before I had the children, I would have demanded a complete hysterectomy. When youre on welfare and have no way of providing for future children, that it should be law. This could help the growing situation.

So in order for you to find a true answer to your question, you must get out of your house and actually visit the small towns in Mississippi, where their is no electricity, or running water. Talk to those kids and see how they feel.

By me suggesting that you go to Mississippi, I mean no harm to those who live in Mississippi. It's only that I had a friend who lived just like that, there, in Mississippi. Although I believe that little places like this are all over the country or world, this is the only one I have ever heard of.

Answer 5

Never. I would abort it right away. Giving up for adoption isnt that easy. You can never make sure the child would be in a home where he is loved as much as his real parents would. I think bringing a child in this world when you cant afford to take care of it is a huge injustice to the child. his whole childhood and possibly even adulthood would be spent in misery. Terminating him/her in the womb is a much less cruel than bringing it into this world when you arent ready.

Answer 6

This is a very hard question to answer and you've got yourself a star too.I'm going to try and answer it anyway. If I can help it, no I will not bring a child into this world knowing I can't provide for it. If it's a matter of weakness from my side and strong determination from my partner, then I will have it and pray and hope to God that everything will be okay.I will not abort it though.......never.

Answer 7

what happens if you were poverty stricken and were unable to have children until now..would the choice then seem so bad to have a baby.
personally, i would only have a child if i can provide for it, and considering i worry whether i can have children, if i happen to lose it all and fall pregnant then yes i would have that child to love.

Answer 8

I'll just tell you this. I've been to Haiti and I've been to Colombia. I've literally met hundreds of people who are as poor as poor gets and some of them are very happy people and their children are just children who love to play and laugh. I wouldn't let poverty stop me from having a child. Money is overrated. I have my wife and I have my son. If we were broke tomorrow we'd be ok, because we'd be together.

Answer 9

I would not, but I would really like to know why some people do? And if they do bring a child into this world and can't provide for it, why do they keep it???

Answer 10

Cats provides their kitten no matter what , You are a human and very much capable of doing much better, i know what's your thinking , you may lose might be the future president or a great leader in your country , who knows?

Answer 11

Maybe I can't provide, but God sure has with my two!!! They've never lacked for anything. There has always been at least "just enough", and if you try hard enough, there is local help all the time.
