I know how you feel... I mean I am almost 20 and when I found out I was pregnant I was supposed to go to the interview of my life!!! and at that job you can not be pregnant... I guess abortion never ran through my head but I guess that was because of my own morals... everyones is different... I absolutly dont agree with it HOWEVER I have never looked down on someone who has... I completely understand why that thought would go through your head... however maybe you should do alittle bit more research or talk to a doctor and ask them about some other options if keeping a baby isnt an option for you... keep your head up hun... everything will work out...

I have 2 beautifull children, they came unplanned. abortion was out of the question. for me it was about becoming an adult & growing up to the situation I was in.
if you run away from your actions in life & dont face up to reality..............
Bang !
all the emotions hit you when you least expect it.
you sound like you have good foundations to have a baby,
some people will find the age an issue, but that is their problem not yours.
I am 10 years older than my now wife, but she was pregnant at 18 and we were not married.
she is now 24 & I am a house husband & look after the kids. she went back to college & now has succesfull a career. I am doing evening classes to get a degree & when the kids are old enough I will have another go at my career.
having kids does not end your options or goals it simply puts them on hold for a while.

Man, people are really being tough on you! You ask for a bit of advice and you get called a murderer! At least you are thinking everything through and not just pretending everything will be easy and work out perfectly. I have three beautiful children the first unplanned - I like to call them miracles (not accidents)..... they bring me joy everyday and make me happy to be alive. If you do decide to keep your bub 10% of the time you will wonder if you made the right choice 90% of the time you will know that you did. If you decide to terminate you may regret it forever, have a good think because either way there is no going back...... Best wishes :)

Cons:
1. Every abortion kills an innocent, living human being:

By the time most women know they are pregnant (just three weeks after conception), their baby's heart is already beating:

2. Abortion can cause serious and permanent damage to the mother, physically and emotionally:

3. Abortion is immoral. It is a sin:

Regardless of your situation, your child is innocent and does not deserve to die. Please keep your child and your girlfriend safe. That is your responsibility. You will never regret doing the right thing.

To me there are no pros in abortion- how can taking the life of a baby whose heart is beating pro?
Con- you will never forget that you did this. You will remember taking a life, with adoption you will remember giving life to this child, even though you were unable to raise him/her.
You also can have complications in an abortion-
1- excessive bleeding
2- damage to internal organs- where more surgery is needed to repair.
3- when you "are ready" to parent, you may not be able to conceive, or you may have miscarriages.
Please consider adoption- if I was aborted not placed for adoption I would not be writing this today- and if it was not for adoption my husband and I would have no children- we have 2 children that are adopted.

you should not base the decisions on strangers you don't know as they will not be the same ideals as yours. For example I think it is murdering an inconvenience that if proper birth control had been used would have been avoided. The person in question chose to have sex with the probability of pregnancy and wants to use abortion as a "resolution to the problem".
So all in all I won't be the only one with this opinion and it is not us that you listen to to base the answer to this on. The person needs to look deep inside and decide if they can live the rest of their lives with what they have done

It's all about what is in your heart. If you feel that you can take care of this child it is your obligation to do so. If you feel that you can't give this kid a good life and be a good parent than you have to make that difficult dicision. I had an abortion and I think about that everyday. It's not easy and it really messed me up. As an adult you have to make sacrifices and if you can make it I give you all the praise. It's all about the child though not you. What about adoption? Please think long and hard about this. Good luck.

Please don't consider taking this precious life!!! I agree with the one's who suggested adoption if you don't feel that you can handle a baby. I have never considered abortion, but I have known of so many people who have done it and lived to regret everyday since and other's who have chosen not to and been so thankful for that choice. It's not worth the pain!!!

i really dont think this is the best place for you to be getting advice. contact planned parenthood. here you will get peoples opinions of what they feel is wrong or right. you need to make a decision based on your beliefs, not anyone elses. good luck. alot of people will tell you not to do it and that you are going to hell. do you really want to read those comments when you are having to make a big decision such as this one?
