I seriously really hate abortions, its murder. But im 17 live in MA. I already have one child that 4 1/2 months. Im really think and pretty sure that im possible that im pregnant again. i havent seen my period and im hungry/thirsty alot. One of my friend told me that I should get abortion because she thinks i wont be able to take care of 2 babies. I think i can care of them both. its just gunna be harder for me about my schooling. im still in school. my bf thinks i should have abortion because my family is like gunna go after him and start nagging at me that i cant take care of them both. I dont want abortion. Im going to school as much as i can. i dont have a job but im applying everywhere. plus the new one will comes out when im over 18 year. Could my parents force me to have a abortion?

Girl, go with your instinct. You are a woman, who is fully capable of taking care of 2 children. Its been done for centuries and for anyone to say otherwise, has gotten brainwashed by today's societal views of women. Even though, women are more independent, there is still that nurturing side to her, that no one can touch. Its a woman's natural ability to be able to take care of children. We were made for it. =)
Your parents cannot force you to have an abortion. That is your body and your baby. For anyone to p

Abortion is wrong. No your parents can not force you to have an abortion. I have to wonder what kind of role models your parents have been for you. Did they not teach you about birth control. You already have one infant and now your pregnant again or may think you are. You chose to have unprotected sex. So why should that living thing inside of you die. I know life is going to be tough for you. The odds of you bf sticking around are probbly slim to nothing. There are so many families who love to give your baby a home. You could always put it up for adoption. Right now you are so young. These are suppose to be the best moments of your life. You went from a teenager to a mother. No one can tell you what to do. It will be tough taking carer of two young ones. How can you possibly think you can go to school, get a job and care for your babies. You think you can care for the both of them. See you are not sure. Think of the parents who can not have children and who could give your unborn child a nice home. I am not saying you could not but you are so young. You have not lived your life yet. Do not let anyone force you into an abortion. If you have an abortion everytime you look at your child you have now, you will be reminded of the abortion you had.

No they can't force you into having an abortion... I think that you need to think about the baby that you are carrying right now and think about its future and if you can give it what it needs.. If you seriously say I don't think that I can then why don't you think about placing the baby for adoption.. The baby will have a mom and a dad and a stable home to thrive from and live a happy life.. I'm not saying that you don't do that for your 4 1/2 month one right now, all I'm saying is think about the well being of both your children and do what you feel is the right thing to do...

No one can force you to have an abortion, it's really up to you but i think you should maybe consider adoption as you are only 17 years and you already have a young baby, you are trying to go to school as much as possible, you are trying to find a job and you may have another on the way!!
That is alot for a 17 year old girl to have on her plate. when you have your next baby the first will only be a little over a year old and that is going to be really hard for you! I would really consider adoption and if you cant do that then i would consider abortion (i dont agree with them but i dont see how you will be able to cope with this much on your plate at one time).
Also start being responsible, get on birth control and use condoms!!!

In most States of the Union, a 17 year old with child is considered emancipated, and NO ONE can force you to kill your child. Abortion is not a birth Control measure, and should only be used as a means of savings the mother's life is special medical complications. For your BF it would be a way to avoid responsibility, make it just great for him,all the fun and none of the accountability! I sounds to me that you have a good sense when it comes to this situation. It will not be easy, but you seem to be able to succeed. You might consider looking for a MAN who has a backbone and who would stand by you in all situations, good or not!

NO, your parent cant force you to do anything you don't want. You sound level headed. Finish school and raise your children as you wish. If you are so strong about not having an abortion THEN DONT! It's a life time choice and something once done you cant go back and change your mind! It will haunt you the rest of your life!! If you don't want the baby (cant afford it and so on) then think about putting the baby up for adoption.

Your parents can't force you to have an abortion. So don't worry about that. If you really want to go through with the pregnancy and you feel that you will be able to take care of both babies, just go for it. The going may be tough, but it is not impossible.

Let me get this straight you are 17 with a 4 1/2 month old and pregnant again and you don't believe in abortions, is that correct? Do you believe in birth control? Honey get an aspirin and hold it between your knees from now until you graduate from college so that we US taxpayers don't have to support you and your ever growing brood for the next twenty something years. And your folks should be really mad.

if you feel that strong about abortion don't get on i feel the same way about abortion but i was in the same situation as you and i got one anyways i was 19 with a five month old and i still can't get over it i still cry and my then boyfriend now husband still hurts over it to. your parents can't force you to get an abortion but they can stop dealin with you and kick you out chances are they won't but it won't be the same at home and far as school you probley won't finish naturally but you can alway go and get your ged. then there's always adoption agents willing to help you if you can live with that decisions but it going to be hard all the way around but you know that and i can always say you should of thought of that before you got pregnant but who wants to hear that after the fact. all i can say is good luck hope you make the right decision for you

NO ONE can force you to have an abortion...bottom line is if you dont want to do it, then DON'T! taking care of 2 kids your age would be hard, its hard at any age! but its possible. you just need to find the support from the right people! sound like your bf is trying to take the easy way out instead of taking responsibility for his actions. abortions may sound like a good idea, but you dont relize the effects it willhave on you for the rest of your like...look at your child now and think to yourself if you could picture killing that child, or the one you might be having now?
