Lady, buy yourself a brain someday...

abortion is scientifically ENDING A LIFE! How would you like it if your mom got pregnant with you, and she decided she didn't want you to live because she didn't want to be responsible for HER OWN ACTIONS! and all that crap about the "fetus" NOT being "a human".....what the HECK!!!! Humans don't give birth to cows! They give birth to HUMANS!!! Thus, the human population is still existing.... Wow, Golly gee, how simple.

As for the person that posted this topic, here is what you need to do:

a) see if you have support from your parents/family
b) get MARRIED to the dad of the baby
c) LOVE that baby all your life! Don't make her feel unwanted because of your actions.

hope this helps and best luck to you and the little one!

I was going to stay out of this 100% until I saw this. Get married to the baby's daddy? Really? Are you insane. This is a 16 year old child we are talking about. Her life is already in upheaval because of the physical and hormonal changes she is facing ON TOP OF all the stress and worry about her family's response, and you advise her to top that off with becoming a wife to someone that we know nothing about? How the hell does that solve her problem?

First, what do we know about this male (is he a boy or a man, we don't know). From her post, he obviously isn't by her side the whole way or she wouldn't be as scared as she is. He isn't rich because she wouldn't be so worried. He isn't smart because obviously he needs to take "Use a condom 101".
Second, if she chooses to keep the baby, having a "husband" isn't the magic key to Easy Street. If he is her age, he can't get a great paying job, he is probably still in school, and he is immature. Regardless, a woman is capable of raising a child alone, and if she chooses to do this she will be forced to be a woman soon enough.
Third, God forbid she follow your advice and lose the baby, then what does she have? A husband who feels like he was forced into a marriage for nothing.

Now, all that addressed, my advice is consider your options. Live with each decision for 24 hours (abortion, adoption, and keeping it) and then decide what feels right for you.

There is also the chance that this is a fake post meant to get this kind of discussion going and get everyone into an uproar. Have you not noticed the plethora of topics that are almost identical to this one? Seems kinda fishy to me.

When you cut something out of your body that uses your blood, grows, feeds off of your body, can not survive without you, and has the potential to end your life, is that wrong?

Despite the complete accuracy of that statement, I think it was a bit harsh.

And no, it isn't wrong when you look at that side of it. But, looking at that side, then every woman should get an abortion and the human race would end.

This statement is exactly why I'm pro-choice. I refuse to take away the choice of the woman, thereby saying that her opinion does not matter.

Yes because like LovesBabies said, in this day and age we have many options before us. First of all there are plenty of different contraceptions out there. Also teenagers get taught about sex and contraception in their schools and most of them at home. I don't think it's fair that through careless behaviour someone should be able to kill a person that they themselves recklessly created. People need to take responsibility for their actions and realise that sex can lead to pregnancy. If they do not wish to be burdened with their offspring for the rest of their lives then they can adopt it out and make someone who loves children and cannot have one of their own very happy. This is my opinion and I would never tell anyone out right that NO YOU CANNOT HAVE AN ABORTION but I do wish that life was more like; You Reap What You Sew, even if it is for only nine months of someones life...

Of course there are situations of rape and medical condition that I see abortion as justifiable. This is my opinion and I am not trying to cut anyone down.

hey,
im ari
im also a teen mom and felt some of the things your feelin now...

Thanks Bexie, for voicing your opinion I am glad I'm not completely alone on my side of the debate. Very well put as well, let's keep bashing and name-calling out of this debate.

I agree to some extent, but sometimes you simply cannot reap what you sew. And there are accidental pregnancies as well, when birth control malfunction for example.
