How are you pregnant without being sexually active? If you don't explain that, no one's going to take your question seriously.
Abortion is your choice. Since you are so young, your parents should be part of the decision too. If you want to keep the baby but your parents want you to get an abortion, you don't have any right to rely on them for help with the baby.

I am against abortion unless it is a life threatening situation. (that does not refer to "my mom/dad is going to kill me"). You are, apparently, sexually active (not limited to vaginal penetration by penis) otherwise you wouldn't be in this situation. The only other unlikely yet possible scenario is that you were raped and under the influence of something but that is not something you can hide from yourself.
Sadly but hopefully a consolation for you, you are not the only pregnant 13 year old. You are already in the current situation so instead of worrying about hiding or denying how you got there take responsibility for your actions and face the consequences. By not admitting to what may have happened is only lying to yourself. I will not tell you, you HAVE to raise that baby or you must have it (although I strongly advise against abortion) but I do ask that you do "grow up", think about all the options and the consequences to follow.
We can only give you our advise, suggestions and opinions.
Don't seek an "OK, go for it" so that if/when you feel awful afterward about the decision YOU made you have someone to blame. Think it through. A decision you made in your life has brought you to this hurdle and you must surpass it on your own at such a young age but we will all cheer for you on the sidelines and pray that you take the right step.
Sincerely,
Teen Parent at 15 Years Old (son is now 9yo)

There's a lot wrong with abortion. It's a surgery with real physical risks. Plus, it's a life or death decision that, in my opinion, no 13-year-old should have to make :(
Before you do something stupid in a state of panic, talk to a doctor, because I highly doubt that you're pregnant if you've never been sexually active. Feel free to email me too if you'd like. I hope everything goes well!

Glenna - you can get pregnant if you haven't had sex. Fooling around with a boy and he ejaculates near your vagina...trust me, it can happen, it's rare, but can happen.
*What do you mean you don't know who the father is? How many guys have you made out with? See, if you were concentrating on school, none of this would be happening to you. I have no problem with an abortion or having you go through the nine months and giving the baby up for adoption just to teach you a lesson (that sex/fooling around has consequences).*

You can't get pregnant if you've never had sex. Therefore abortion is not an issue.
*Cambrianna - The girl said she's never been sexually active. To me, that means any kind of fooling around with a boy. Manual stimulation, "over the clothes action", oral sex... that's all still sexual activity. If she says she's never done that, what am I suppose to think? Either the girl is INCREDIBLY uneducated about what "sexual activity" is or she's lying..... Either way, if you don't have any kind of sex with a boy, you can't get pregnant. You gonna call everybody else out that said the same thing I did.... or just me?

There are 100 million children in the world that are on the edge between life and death. There are not enough resources in the world to feed and properly care for these kids. Will you as a 13 year old be able to care for your child? Will your child be able to depend on you for health care, feeding and education. If not the only reasonable thing to do is to abort he fetus before it becomes a statistic. When the pro lifers claim they want to "save" your fetus, what they really want to do is to feel good about themselves. They could care less about your fetus. If they cared they would be out saving the 100 million children that are already born and living.
The facts are that for each fetus they "save" they cause the death of 12 loved and wanted kids.
Abortion is not immoral. There is nothing in the bible that supports the pro life movement. The whole thing is about them making themselves feel good at your expense.

Abortion is a bad choice. It kills children and hurts women. Depression is a common side effect of abortion. Many women struggle with their abortion decisions for years. They wonder whether their child would have been a boy or a girl, what he or she would have looked like, what he or she would have been like, etc., etc.
There are thousands of free crisis pregnancy centers across the country to help pregnant women. There are government programs to help with food, shelter, and health care. And there are other charities that help those in need as well.
Finally, there are 2 million couples looking to adopt. Many of these adoptive parents are able and willing to support the birth mothers of the children that they're adopting.
You're young, but you'll have to live with whatever choice you make. I urge you to choose life. Best wishes.

The answer is no, abortion is murder...there is always the choice of adoption, if you do not feel comfortable raising a child, dont get an abortion...give the child up for adoption where he or she can live a life...look at it this way, your mom did not get an abortion with you, obviously, and now you can live....if she would have aborted you, you wouldnt be here....your child deserves that chance of life too
Please, Please don't get an abortion!...most people who do regret it, and you cant take it back. Give your child a chance at living!

That is your choice. I am 14 with a 3 week old and abortion was NEVER a choice in my family. We think it is wrong even if you dont know who the dad is you can still raise it or give it up for adoption. I hate to hear people thinking about getting abortions because it is just cruel.
