+403 If you're too young to support a child and have to resort to abortion, maybe you shouldn't be having sex in the first place, amirite?

What if the condom broke?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

still her fault. In order to be having sex, she should at least know the risks and be willing to deal with the consequences of sex at a young age.

A manufacturing error is the girl's fault now? I get what you're saying, but some people are very unlucky. Even if you use a condom and you're on birth control, there's still about a 1% chance of pregnancy.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

if someone has sex then they should know that there is that 1% chance that they will get pregnant. They're choosing to engage in risky behavior.

Disagree. Young couples having sex mightn't be able to support a child, they could have been together for a long time, even married. You can't use financial stability as meter as to whether you should be having sex or not. Maturity, maybe, but not financial.

This is a fail. You shouldn't have a home if you can't afford the bills. You shouldn't have a healthy life if you can't buy care. You shouldn't go to school if you can't pay the fees. You shouldn't have a dream if you can't fund it.

But those are all risks you take on yourself. Having sex when you're not sure about it (condoms break, I don't think they count as a sure solution) is risking another life.

People are irresponsible, yes. They have unprotected sex and get pregnant and then bitch and complain like they thought it would never happen. They are the stupid ones. But seriously, if there are teens out there that are doing the right thing and having sex with a condom and it accidently breaks then they shouldn't be at fault should they. They were trying to do the right thing.

I guess it's the woman's fault that she gets raped.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Rape and financial stability were not issues brought up in the post, people. Immaturity was. In my home town, there were middle schoolers who would get pregnant, and it was so sad and rather horrifying. The yearly rate of the high school for pregnant girls was about 1 in every 5, and that was a consistent estimate.

"Too young to support" is financial security; I doubt they're talking about mentally supporting a baby.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Supporting a child doesn't just mean financially, though. It's very much emotional. If a mother is immature, it doesn't matter how much money she has, she'll be crummy at supporting her child.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It's not all about maturity either, a woman can be a shitty mother or great mother at any age.

My cousin said there is a 6th grade in her school who's 7months pregnant, and she's not one to lie. It's just sad.

Criticizing these girls isn't going to help them. They are suffering. Stop bashing them and help them out.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I wasn't bashing anyone. And I've actively tried to help. I've petitioned for safety based sex-ed programs rather than abstinence based and called/written various representatives for their help. I criticize the crappy education that's given, not the choices made because of it. It's sad that it happens, because it has only ever ended badly for the girls I knew there.

this post obviously only points to teenage girls. what about teenage guys. jesus christ. it's not only the girl's responsibility

So lets see, if u accidentally kill someone in a car accident u would feel terrible and wouldn't be able 2 forgive urself, but i u screw off with ur boyfriend and get pregnant u really wouldnt care that ur murdering a child, something is fucked up in ur thinking

by Anonymous 13 years ago

If you're talking about abortion, (I can't exactly tell) then you're not exactly murdering a child. You're preventing a mass of cells from growing into a child. Yes you would be doing that by "killing" the cells, but that's really kinda because I can't come up with another, more accurate word for what would be happening. :P But, I don't wanna start a debate. So maybe like one person can contradict me, then we'll call it even. There's been way too many abortion debates already... xP

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I believe that there wont be enough abortion debates until its gone forever. My question is when exactly is it considered a child? Is it a child when its being aborted, it looks like a child, it has a heart beat, u r considered dead when your heart is no longer beating and by aborting a child u r stopping a heart beat so therefore u r not killing a bunch of cells u r killing a child.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well (sorry to be continuing the debate) you could easily argue that the fetus doesn't have its own heartbeat, not exactly, and there's no way it could survive without being attached to the mother. It's alive alright, but not as its own self if that makes sense, it's alive as a thing growing in something that is alive by itself. I'd consider it to be a child when it could survive outside the womb, like if you could take it out and its heart would beat and it would start breathing... (Though obviously no-one can completely agree)

When it's in her vagina, it her body. When it's not in her vagina, it's her child.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Just because she can't afford a child doesn't mean that she isn't allowed to have fun. If she feels like having an abortion is the right thing to do, it's her right. She would most likely be having an abortion to save the child from what would be a very horrible life since she kind provide it a good one.

Uhm no! I'll frikin have sex when I wanna. It feels good so who the hell are you to tell me what to do?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Amen

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It doesn't matter if it "feels good". Sex is there solely for procreation. That's why no other animals on this planet have sex for pleasure. It's pretty damn simple, if you aren't ready to have a baby do not engage in an activity that's only purpose is to make a baby. If you choose to do so you should not have the right to prevent that baby from having a chance at life.

Actually, dolphins do have sex for pleasure. I've never heard of anything else doing it, though.
