What's your opinion on young pregnant girls?

Question

About 18 & younger.What's your opinion on them? Do you think they should keep the baby? Have their parents raise it? Adoption? Abortion?

Answer 1

they got what they deserve, They ought to be forced to keep the child and raise it. If you are too stupid or too lazy to use protection, suffer the consequences!

Answer 2

Well, my sister had her first baby when she was 16, and she was going through a tough time because the father of the baby pissed off like a coward. And bringing that baby into the world was the greatest thing that happened to my sister and my family. None of us have been happier, this baby brought us together and he always brings a smile to our face, he's the sweetest baby i've ever known. She's not a dead beat mum, she has a boy friend now that she had another baby with, she has her own house, her own car and her own job, as well as being a wonderful mother.

I guess it depends on the enviroment, and your family, being a young mother is hard socially, the looks that people gave her when she was walking down the street, everyone judging them. People even had the nerve to say nasty things to her.

I'm not against abortion, its a choice that only the person can make, but i personally couldnt do it. I dont judge other women for doing it, but i could never do it. Adoption is another option, but i think you have to clearly think through the consequences, what the mother might feel once her baby is gone, maybe in the future the baby might go looking for her or the mother might go looking for the baby.

Having thier parents raising the child is complicated and i'm not really for it. But it all depends on circumstances, and its a case by case thing.

I dont think age should define how good of a parent you are, there are 30 year old mothers that really shouldnt be parents, you can be a good parent, or a bad parents no matter what age you are. I wish Jamie-Lyn good luck.

Answer 3

ABortion should never be an option unless the mothers life is at stake! Most girls nowa days are so informed! In the case of Jamie lynn, we all know that she is going to keep the baby and make a great book deal. I think she made a mature choice in keeping the baby and not shurking her responsibility and killing her baby. I mean come on, no one really believed that she would give the baby up for adoption. I think parents should take a more active role in kids lives and make sure they know early that if the play and don't use protection then the chance are good that they will get pregnant. I was a kid once and even though I wanted until I was almost 17 before having sex, if my parents had tried to keep me away from it I would have had sex anyway. I don't think parents should be raising their grandkids. I think parents need to encourage their kids to do the right thing and grow and raise their kids or give their child to a great family that will love and care for it.

Answer 4

Actually this question should be answered based on the person's circumstances. I personally think that Abortion is not the answer in any situation, however, if the person has a support network, where the child can be cared for, for atleast 18+ years, then this would be the answer. Should the person not have this close network of help, and cannot forsee any added support within the near future - the person should look into Adoption. There are so many people looking to adopt -as they are unfortunate and cannot have children.

Thought to ponder: Its hard to give your child away or even loose one.... but you don't have the same level of guilt you would have if you terminated the birth.

Please think about it! I have placed some sites below which you may want to read through to help making your decision.

Answer 5

I think it all depends on the family, the situation and the best option for the baby. Babies need full time attention and care and money to be raised. Whose parents are willing, Is the mother of the child mature enough to take care of it and herself without relapsing into teenage mode again? There are a lot of questions and they all need to be considered before any decision is made. The baby needs to come first even if it means adoption. or abortion.......sometimes there is no grandparent to raise the baby or they are too old and sometimes a teenager can't make the sacrifice or go through a pregnancy. I know I am a Christian but I know God forgives all sin and I believe sin is sin ans we all are guilty at one time or another, it's a personal choice between a woman and her Dr. That is my opinion.

Answer 6

Everyone has a difference of opinion. But I believe that abortion should not be an option because there are so many people out there in the world that may want to adopt the baby/child. So just because one person doesn't want the child that doesn't mean that someone else doesn't want it either. There are plenty of other good options out there in the world to chose from. Abortion in my opinion is just an easy way of getting out of responsibility. If you were capable of laying there having sex at a young age then you are capable of taking care of the consequences that follow.

Answer 7

I suppose it is up to the young mother and her family. I met my to be hubby at 17 yrs old and was pregnant at 18. Got married while I was 18 he was 20. Had bub after I turned 19 and I don't regret it. My mother was unhappy to say the least. But things worked out. I would have never considered abortion, my mother thought of adoption although not her decision and I was adopted and didn't want that for my child. I had already moved out so mum working full time wouldn't be able to help me. But it is really up to the individual. If they have the support of their family that is always a good start. Now today I have been with my hubby for 15 yrs , married for 13 yrs and have 5 great kids. Merry Xmas to you.

Answer 8

I think the parents should raise it or it should go up for adoption.

I think it is wrong to take an innocent human life and I also think that is exactly what abortion does so, no, I don't think anyone should have an abortion.

There's no reason to punish an unborn child for someone else's action. As far as non-elective abortion is concerned (when the woman's life is at risk), in that case we're talking about one life over the other- different issue.

Answer 9

i believe that if you do the "crime" then you can do the time...if the girl is younger then 18 years old, where are the parents, the older siblings. i think that abortion should be out of the question, unless the girl was raped and if the girl was having heath problems during the pregnancy that kept here from bring it to term. you can always give it up for adoption cause there are lots of other women who want to have a child but who cant get pregnant. i think kids at high school, and jr high school should be able to get condoms from the nurse, so that that can help prevent anychild from getting knocked up.

Answer 10

That completely depends on the girl, her maturity level, how she became pregnant, whether she has support, whether she wants to raise the child, and the health of her and her baby. There are too many factors involved.

Ideally, placing a baby into a healthy adoptive family would be best, preferably in an open adoption. But that isn't always an option, and it isn't always necessary.

Answer 11

Man that is a tough question. Assuming that we are not going to focus on the preventiveness and just concentrate on its happend and now what....; well, I dont think abortion should evr be an option. Dont think grandparents should have to burden that responsiblity and i think that would make the baby (not it) feel unwanted as he/she grows older and realizes grandma raised me how come mom didnt. I would vote either adoption (closed) or having the new tenn parent gather as much support as possible and prepare for parenting.
