Question

this is for an article i have to do for class =]

Answer 1

Um...lets see. Teen pregnancy will always be an issue, I was a teen mother but I had a great boyfriend who has a great job and he made good money even back then so I was lucky. We've since gotten married, have a wonderful marriage, and have had quite a few children. I've seen a lot more teens being smart about having sex which makes me feel better but there's always going to be teen mothers who won't be able to support their child or who must struggle to do so.

As for abortions, I'm not sure what to say. I've never been in the position where I would think of getting one. I have friends who have had them and I don't think anything less of them. I absolutely despise stupid girls who have sex unprotected and then have an abortion - that's just f*ed up. I've also known girls that will get pregnant and have abortions because their boyfriends pissed them off - they'll abort their baby but stay in the relationship which doesn't make any sense at all.

Answer 2

I think teen prengnancy is at an all time high its like where ever you go you see about 20 girls under the age of 18 that are about to have a baby. There perents think that if they have the baby and dont get an abortion it will teach them a lesson.

I think abortions are wrong you are killing a helpless child that was not asked to be made. But really it is all up to you.

Answer 3

Teen pregnancies happen all the time and it is time that it looses the stigma that comes with it. We all make mistakes and we need help to get on a better track to succeed! So if a teenage mother or mother-to-be asks for help, we should point her in the direction of help, not lecture her. She is most likely embarrassed enough.
Abortions are a touchy subject, and I am not a supporter of them. BUT, there are occasions (health, rape, ...) where it is understandable where the woman needs to make a decision to be comfortable in her own shoes - for life. Nobody can do it for her and should get on her case for it.
By the way, I am not a teen mother and I don't know many people that are, but I made plenty other mistakes... I am 23 and expecting my first and it is a bit scary, so I can only imagine how a teenager feels when she needs help and everyone says those horrible things about her.
But that's just my opinion.

Answer 4

I think that if you aren't ready for a baby then you don't need to lay down because the next 18 years or drama and troubles is not worth just like 10 minutes of pleasure. I think that every teen needs to go through school and get a good paying job and a great husband before they even think about having a baby. A baby is a gift from God and not just something to play around with.

And abortion is just a waste of money and should not even be a choice for young people all around the world. Baby is a gift and your not supposed to just throw away something like that.

Answer 5

Well my wife and i are both teens and we have a beautiful daughter. Abortions are wrong no matter what.
That child should not pay for the carelessness of thier parents. No Child is a mistake if you get pregnant then do the adult thing and deal with. I understand in rape cases that it might seem like a better idea to get an abortion but still i dont think its right.
Yes teen pregnancy is a problem. Not because of thier age but most teens arent stable financially and wouldnt be able to support a child properly but as far as the child themselves it is a blessing no matter what.

Answer 6

I think that too often these days, we choose to opt out of accepting the consequences of the actions we take. That is all that 90% of the abortions in this country are. You want to have sex, accept the consequences. PERIOD! Even with protection, pregnancies happen. Everybody knows this, from 12 to 112. Not being ready to be a parent means not being ready to have sex. I think that the fact that people can have abortions is a huge part of the reason teen pregnancy is on the rise. I don't come from a religious angle. This is pure unadulterated common sense. America needs to come to it's senses!

Answer 7

Before anyone of any age has sex - they should be aware that NO birth control is 100%. Therefor - the two of them should discuss WHAT would happen if a pregnancy occurred. If the couple is not mature enough to have this discussion - that's a clue right there that they are not mature enough to be having sex.

If a pregnancy occurs - you have three choices:

1) Have a baby and raise it
2) Kill a baby
3) Give a baby away

If none of those choices would make you happy - then you should not be having sex.

Now if you are immature - and decide to have sex anyway - and find yourself pregnant - remember this:

Abortion is NOT birth control.

Every child born deserves a good life. Can you provide it?

Adoption is ABSOLUTELY a choice. It's incredible how many people choose to kill a baby instead of giving it life.

Answer 8

Abortion is murder, no matter how old you are! The baby has heartbeat 18 days from conception. If you are a teen and pregnant, either step up to the plate and take care of your child or place it for adoption in a loving two parent home where it can be taken care of very well. Please, whatever you do, don't get an abortion that you will always regret later!

Answer 9

1. I don't care if a teen has a baby as long as they can take care of it. It doesn't make me think any less or them, it actually makes me think more (because they didn't abort the child.)

2. I'm a christian who believes in no abortions and that everyone should be given the right to life, even if it's not with your real family.

Answer 10

If you were supposed to be responsible enough to make the baby you should be responsible enough to take care of the baby. Abortions are wrong no matter what. If a teen gets pregnant then they should take care of the baby or put it up for adoption. IF YOU THINK A BABY WILL RUIN YOU YOUTH YEARS THEN DON'T GO FOOLING AROUND UNTIL YOU ARE MARRIED!
