No. Because no matter what the circumstances are, the baby is innocent and doesn't deserve to die because you made some unwise choices in your life.
All babies, born and unborn, should be protected.
It is unnatural and twisted for a mother to choose to kill her own child. If motherhood will be too overwhelming for her, she must make a sacrifice and give her child up for adoption so it can have a loving and secure home.

The way I see it...if you wait until you are 100% ready mentally and finacially to have a child......you'll never have one!! :). I am 22 and pregnant with my first child. I was NOT EXPECTING THIS and didnt think I was ready. Heck, I still have doubts that I am fit to be a great mom...and I have the usual scares of HOW AM I GOING TO DO THIS!! But I am telling you, even if you think you arent ready....you are!! You can do this...trust me, it is possible!! I have a best friend who had an abortion less them 8 months ago!! I am VERY against abortion, but I couldnt convince her not to have one. Now that I am pregnant, and she watches the baby move...and feels her little feet kick out....she crys every single time!!! I promise, that you might be scared right now...and think you arent ready....BUT YOU CAN DO THIS!! You just need to be strong and once things get on a roll...and the baby starts to grow...EVERYTHING changes. I was a wild, crazy, bar chasing girl....and never thought I would have to give that life up. My fiance and I got engaged and 3 weeks later BAMN! lol. He has 2 kids already and this will make it three. So honey, I went from a FUN CRAZY WILD 21 year old.....to a soon to be mother married mother of three. :) lol. AND I LOVE IT NOW!! Just give life a chance.....you got blessed with something that you will soon see. TRUST ME!!! If I can do it....You can do it!! Take care and please give this the chance it deserves. Take Care!!!

I'm 23 and found out I was pregnant back in July. I considered abortion but ultimately decided (along with my boyfriend) that I'd rather have the child. I'm far from being ready for this child, but I'm on the path to being ready.
So, while I didn't choose to have one, I think that a woman has the right to choose to have an abortion if she feels unfit to have a child, without being called a murderer or a bad person.

I AM 23 and almost 6 1/2 months pregnant...I was terrified when I first found out...I experienced every emotion in the book and I wasn't sure at first what I would do. My boyfriend is very against abortion and I knew that it was morally wrong anyway and that he would resent me...after all it is his baby too. I love her so much and I know that my life will be changed forever in a few months but I wouldn't trade her for anything. It's natural to be terrified but theres a reason this happened and this is one of the only times in your life when you know God intended the reason of this to be for you to have this child. If you think you aren't ready for motherhood though...consider adoption because either the baby was meant for you to raise and love or for some couple that cannot conceive to raise, love, and, adore. Give this child that chance and if not you then give this chance to that couple too...it will change yours or their world for the best. Good luck

It's not a risk I am willing to take. It may be easier, and I am pro-choice but in MY own situation, i couldn't do it. If another girl wants to and can live with herself then that is great.... but i dont want to risk going to hell or knowing for the rest of my life that i did that. I've also read a lot of stories of women who have serious problems from it.
how many women regret having abortions?
how many regret keeping there babies?
i have never known someone to say they had abortions and just thought it was great and they were so happy!
my cousin had one, and she was fine until she was about 25 and had a baby that she wanted. she realized then that she could have just as easily killed of a baby like the one she had just had, and she went through some severe depression..... it's all a personal choice.
some people can do it and be okay, some can't. it's about making the best decision for you--- a decision you can LIVE with.

It doesn't matter what other peoples opinions are. The choice is yours alone to make. That is, without ANYONE elses influence. I have had an abortion. Well, I took the abortion pill. I myself was 23. I had my reasons, so I thought. I never thought I was the type to go through with that. I don't care what anyone says about "How they would never." The truth is you can say that until you are blue in the face. You just don't know until you are in the situation. I don't reccommend it at all though! I went through a year of guilt and depression. I am now having my first baby soon. Just remember, whatever your decision, it is you, and you alone that has to live with it. Until the day you die.

As you seem to be asking for personal opinions, I will say no. I believe in choice, but abortion to me is not a choice it's murder. (Yes, I expect negative ratings for my opinion, but again, this seems to be what you are asking for right now). I would evaluate my options during the pregnancy and if I wasn't ready to be the mother, I'd put the baby up for adoption. There are so many desperate families looking for babies that I'm sure you could find one pretty easily who will love your baby. While I know that many people on here will chime in and point out that there are also many children waiting to be adopted in foster care and across the world, I also know that despite our best efforts, people still want babies.
But once again, if this is something you are seriously considering, it is your body and your decision. Just remember that the emotional consequences, if any, of your actions will also be yours. This is why we encourage people so strongly to use birth control, although I know it's not foolproof.
Now, I feel like I've lectured instead of being supportive in which case, I do apologize. Good luck with your decision and consider your options carefully. :)

Definately not, and if I were not ready at the age of 23 I would take all measures to make sure I did not get pregnant. On the other hand, can you ever be ready to have a child? Plenty of people that are great parents thought they were'nt ready, so if you get pregnant, either adopt the baby out, or surprise yourself and be a great parent.

yes if ur not ready then r not ready. dont tell anyone tell you that ur wrong aborting becase you r not. u r the most important PERSON not a sack of cells. this will change you and ur life forever and if ur not ready then dont have the baby. and even tho adoption is an option who wants some other freaking strange old person raising their kid? i'm 20 years old and i'm pregnant now but a year ago i just turned 20 and came up pregnant and i knew i wasnt ready so i aborted because i didnt have **** to offer any baby and what kinda mother would i be to take care of a kid i brought into the world a bad one so i abort and got myself together now i'm expecting and i'm ready for it and if i had to re do it i would still aborted because i need to get myself together. and even i wasnt ready to be a mother i wasnt finna let no other person raise my kid because thats MY kid and if i dont want it nobody else can have it neither. and thats real. but think about it and DONT LET ANYONE PRESSUSE YOU INTO ANYTHING cause ppl talk all day long about "no dont abort" but when that baby pops ot them same ppl is no where to be found to help u support that baby. if you dont want to keep it u can abort or adopt and whatever u choose you are NOT WRONG and have every RIGHT!!! NO MATTER what anyone else says.

NO i would not. It may seem that your not ready for this, but things will work out and come together better than you think they will. I am 25 and had my daugter at 18 and my son at 23. I am raising them by myself, yes it is hard but its very rewarding to know my children are happy and I am doing a good job raising them. If you still are thinking that your not ready, give adoption a chance, there are so many people out there wanting a baby. They could give your baby every chance it deserves. Something to think about?

I am 23, and personally if I were to get pregnant and not think I am ready I would go to classes. If I still didn't feel ready I would choose adoption. I would look at all of your options before choosing abortion, because that is the one that can have a very negative lasting impact on your mental and emotional state as well as your future reproductin abilities. However, you need to make the decision that is right for you and yor baby, not for anyone else.
