This is kind of a continuem of the other post. But I had a sub question of the same topic.
What if it were your 14 yr old daughter that were pregnant and she felt that it was best for her to have an abortion. Would you prevent her from doing so to teach her responsibility? Or would you allow her this and try to teach her from the experience?

FYI I'm 23 and this is just a continuation of the previous topic. I had an additional question and I'm currently pregnant with my first.

No one can honestly answer this until they are in the situation. If they do, they are lying liars lying!!!

if it were my daughter i would prevent her from having an abortion but after educating her about the adverse affects that go along with abortion. There are also some positives that can come with this experience. If it were my daughter i know she would love her baby despite having it so young. I would rather support my daughter through a birth than watch her suffer emotionally and mentally from an abortion. There is also the risk of not being able to have children again after an abortion. I would definately educate my daughter first and talk about it thoroughly with the pros and cons of both abortion and birth, so that my daughter could make an informed decision and hopefully that would be birth.

Well in the end it is all up to her. I am 18 yrs. old and pregnant. So I can give you a few teen advice. You should really sit down and talk to her and give her your advice about the whole situation and listen to what she has to say too. Yes of course 14 is too young to be pregnant even being 18. Whatever she plans on doing make sure she knows that you are there for her in any way possible. It will make her decision even easier.

Hopefully I will never have to face this situation with either of my girls.
But if it did happen and abortion was her choice because she didnt feel ready or able to carry on with the pregnancy then I would let her abort.
I would get her councelling because I really dont think I'd be able to counsel her on a decision like that.
I personally dont like the idea of abortion but I do think it is neccesary in some cases.
And never ever would I FORCE my child to have a baby that she wasn't ready for, emotionally,physically etc. Nor would I force her to abort or adopt. It would be her decsion and I would love and suppourt her no matter what.

If my daughter were to get pregnant at 14, I would do everything in my power to convince her to have the baby. Abortion has a lot of really bad long term physical and psychological effects. I wouldn't want my daughter to have that problem. Also, I don't think abortion should be birth control.

If my 14 year old were pregnant and wanted an abortion, I would let her do as she feels best, however, I would let her know that if she has an abortion, it would not be meant for a CONTINUOUS way of getting out of responsibilty, or have it be an EXPERIENCE for her to HOPEFULLY never do again.
The thing is, we as parents are here to educate our children and let them know that whether they make good and bad decisions we still love them.

While I am pro choice I believe that a woman has the right to make that choice if she was raped or if her or the baby's health was in serious danger. I do NOT believe that abortion should be used as a form of birth control because that is not it's purpose. If you feel you are old enough to have sex you should be old enough to deal with the concequences of your actions.

I would make her get an abortion. She would be way too young to have a baby and i would not want to raise my own grandkid. But i feel like this, if i thought she was doing anything i would of put her on birth control or not let her go out.
I am glad i have a boy and not a girl.

Personally, abortion is wrong. That kid that some doctor ends up killing might have a cure for some weird cancer one day. Nobody ever thinks about what could happen. She should place him/her up for adoption. Why the **** is she pregnant at 14? haven't you taughter her any thing?

no abortion is horribble!
the child shud have as much right to live as u do.
its not their fault this happened.
maybe this will teach your daughter something.
u can take care of it while she is at skool.
or u can call a nanny.
but have the daughter take care off it after skool.
she IS TO YOUGE to have a baby.
but this will teach her something.
or even have the baby adopted at birth.
so u dont get used to the baby.
and the baby has nice parents.
but PLEASE DONT HAVE HER GET AN ABORTION!
its too sad!

I would not leave this decision up to her - it would clearly have to be a decision made by an adult as oposed to a child which she has proven herself to be. That said, I'd consult with a doctor and pick the option that is best for her reproductive and overall health.
