i still stand by adoption. the only reason abortion should even be considered is when it is causing physical harm to both the mother and the baby.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

that's absurd. Say for argument sake the baby does come out fine. Idc how great the adopting parent is, A child with their biological parents VS. A child without is not a leveled playing ground. I know life is not fair however when you know about your unstable situation and still CHOSE to put your child through too adoption. Now who's fault is it then when the child becomes a monster due to its psychologically traumatized state? I.e. A murderer, a rapists, a hobo. The scenarios are endless.

(boombaklat):So you're saying that anyone put through adoption will become a murdering, raping, hobo? I also like how you used the term it to describe a child.

Abortion's never okay. You should at least have the baby and see if someone can take care of it. Never deprive someone of life.

(K.M.I): Along with life threatening, why would you want to have a child as a constant reminder of what could have been the worst day of there life (I mean rape).

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Somehow, I don't think that mothers with children as a result of rape look at their child and see a reminder of rape. I think they look at their child and see a child, their child, who they love very much, and would do anything to protect, just like any other mother would. I think that those mothers look at their children and see a mark of endurance, living proof that they are strong, and that they didn't have to let that one horrible event ruin their life or destroy their child's. I think that those mothers see an innocent child and their potential as a person, and as proof that with every awful, terrible happening in this world, there is a chance for goodness and purity to come out of it. As terrible and horrendous of an occurence as being raped is for a girl, there is a personal decision that each and every victim can make as to whether or not that event will ruin their lives, or make them stronger, and that includes whether or not they will take the child's ...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

And younng children shouldn't? That's like saying we should be allowed to run around, take what we want and do what we want, without any consequences. With every action, there is a consequence. If you borrow someone's things without asking, they may get mad at you or even have you arrested. If you over-eat, you may feel crappy the next day. If you have sex, you may have a baby. It's ignorant to say that women should be able to just frivolously rid themselves of the consequence of having sex, a human child, and just have sex whenever they want. There needs to be boundaries to your overly femmanist ideas.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Forcing women to deal with the consequences (aka punishing women) is not going to help the woman or the fetus. If a woman wanted to treat her gonorrhea would you also say she "was frivolously rid themselves of the consequence of having sex"? After all, If you have sex, you may get STDs. Of course women should have sex whenever they want, just so long as they stay safe and responsible. What could you possibly have against having sex? There is a difference between a fetus and a young child.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Actually, it does help the fetus. he/she gets to live instead of being thrown away as if he/she were a piece of purposeless garbage. Gonorrhea is not a human child, so the case of getting STD's is not relevant to the point. I dont have anything against having sex, but when a woman has sex she should be aware of the fact that you can get pregnant ANYTIME you have sex, even if you use a condom or birth control. and they should be ready to handle a child if they so choose to have sex, not just resort to killing him/her off.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Punishing women for having sex does not help anyone. I get that some people oppose abortion because they want embryos to live, but people that oppose abortion because they want to punish women for being sluts are stupid. It is unreasonable to expect a woman to be prepared for child every time she has sex. Some women never want children ever. Some women are too poor to take care of children. Do you honestly expect those women to never have sex ever? I think you are exaggerating the risk of pregnancy just a bit. While what you said is true, you need to understand that if you use multiple forms of birth control and plan ahead, the risk of pregnancy is almost negligible.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Im not into punishing women for having sex and getting pregnant, im into allowing all people to realize that there are consequences for your actions. No, it's not unreasonable, at all. Any girl that believes they are ready to have sex should be intelligent enough to know that sexual intercourse is the natural way for humans to reproduce. If they don't know that, they are just stupid and immature, and need to take health class again. So, we've established that most girls know how to produce babies. When a girl decides she is ready to have sex, she SHOULD be aware of the potential consequences, such as pregnancy or STD's. Sure, they can have sex, but using protection is the ideal way to prevent that, and if it comes to it, give the child up for adoption if they dont want him/her. Yes, the risk can be almost negligible, but it is never 0%. Therefore, girls should always recognize the potential.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Sure there are consequences for having sex but sometimes the best way to deal with those consequences is by having an abortion. Women should consider adoption, they should consider all possible options and pick the one that is best. Every woman has an unique situation so what works for one woman will not work for all.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Abortion is not "dealing with those consequences", it is taking the easy way out. Choosing NOT to deal with the very self-induced consequences of their own actions.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Problem: unwanted pregnancy. Solution: abortion. Problem solved. How is abortion "not dealing with the consequences"? Getting an abortion is often the best way of handling the situation. Choosing not to deal with the consequences would be ignoring the fact that you are pregnant and dealing with it when the baby was born.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yes, abortion is a solution, but it is never the best option, and certainly not often the best. You are taking a childs LIFE. Action: sex while unprepared to have a child. Consequence: pregnancy. So yes, abortion is choosing not to deal with the consequence, so to say. Not carrying the pregnancy to fruition.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Having a baby infringes on your ability to get an education and the career you want. Having a baby brings many challenges. It is a huge time commitment not to mention a strain on your finances. Women cannot control their health, welfare, and future when the government forces them to have a child against their will. Unwed mothers? Who said anything about unwed mothers? How is that at all relevant?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Negative on the education thing. If the girl is in school, yes, she has to work harder to pass her classes and graduate. That is consequence of having unprotected sex. But it is still possible; there are several girls at my school who got pregnant and continued attending school, and were given free planned parenting teaching. and they kept the baby. there is always the option of adoption. Ok, unwed mothers being the majority of abortion recipients. There is still planned parenthood classes for married women. No excuses.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Of course you can pass high school with a baby but it certainly makes your life a whole lot harder. Many people struggle to find money to go to college and having a baby would certainly not help that. Having a baby does make it very hard to get a good education. I mean I have a hard time getting good grades as is and I know there is no way I could take all the classes I'm taking and take care of a child. I think it's great that your school offers classes for teens with children. More schools should do that. The most effective way of preventing abortion would be making childcare cheaper, adoption easier, and birth control more available. Outlawing abortion will only cause more problems.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yes, it makes it a whole lot harder; again, that is a consequence of having sex if you are not ready for a baby. Especially if you are still in school. My point is not to outlaw abortion, its to show women that there are ALWAYS other options and to convince them not to kill their baby before it is born.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

There are not always better options. Sometimes abortion is the best and most logical choice.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Adoption is always an option. And within adoption, there are so many options. You can not have to see the child, you can choose the parents, you can choose to be able to occasionally see the child, etc. Abortion is never the only plausible answer.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Giving birth is a very painful often dangerous situation. It is something that not everyone can handle, especially young people. You can't expect a poor little 13 year old to be able to handle pregnancy, giving birth, and becoming a mother without serious emotional trauma. Not to mention there are numerous medical reasons why it would not be practical or safe for a woman to give birth. You don't understand the situation of every woman on the planet and you certainly don't know what the best thing for them to do. Society should let women with the aid of their doctors make important medical decisions. After all, no one understand what is best for a particular women better than the woman herself.

If a "poor little 13 year old" cant handle pregnancy, then she shouldnt be having sex. And if she chooses to do so, she needs to not punish the child for her bad choice.

Potted plants are not human lives. You just made yourself look extremely ignorant. And this is why I hate feminists. All you are concerned about is womens rights and what a woman can control and about women having all the damn power they want. You dont even care about the little life growing inside of her, this little child with so much potential for life and growth. Sure, women should be able to go out and have as much sex as they want. Sure. I dont deny them that joyous privelege. But it is just that, a privelege. And it is risky, as any health class graduate knows. And if they want to go out and do that kind of thing, they have NO RIGHT to just kill that child because THEY made the decision to put themself in that kind of situation. And they dont even have to finance it; if they give it up for adoption and never have to see him/her, or buy him/her clothes or food, or rock him/her to bed at night. Sure, it hurts the heart, but how much more would it hurt to know

by Anonymous 13 years ago

that not only do you never get to see your child, but that you denied him/her its own life so that you wouldnt have to deal with the struggle of birthing them? Regardless of the situation, it is awful to deny an innocent, pure child its very life for the sake of convenience. The woman will have a chance to go on and be successful and happy in her life, and to enjoy everything life has to offer, once she has birthed the baby, and even while she is carrying the baby if she chooses to be happy. That child, if aborted, will never get that, or even the gift of life.

I think rape and if it's like life threatening situations are the only acceptable cases...I got pregnant unplanned and I could have had an abortion, but I didn't. I made the mistake to have unprotected sex, so I'm gonna own up to my actions and take care of my baby. A lot of girls just use abortion as birth control...and they lower the chances of ever having babies later in life each time. Along with increased chances for cervical cancer.

Bullshit! Abortion does not lead to infertility or cervical cancer in anyway. That's a complete lie made up by anti-abortion activists. You decision to not get an abortion was your choice and I totally respect that. But don't go around stereotyping other women who decide to get an abortion as irresponsible. Also, don't go around spreading false medical information to scare people out of getting an abortion.

Abortion is okay if you get raped by a demon, like on Supernatural. In any other instance of rape, abortion does not seem appropriate. Aborting a baby because the baby is a product of rape is just something else the rape is forcing you to do. The baby is not the one who raped you, so if the baby is healthy enough to live, who are you to tell the baby they cannot? It does not seem fair to thhe child, is all.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

(Chauncy Pickles): But wouldn't that seem not fair to the mother?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

(Chauncy Pickles): It is a good point, saying that it's not the baby's fault and it wouldn't really deserve to die, but in all reality, I know that if I was raped I would feel really disgusting and worthless and would not want part of my raper living and growing inside of me for nine months. I just don't think I could handle it. After birth there's always adoption, but the nine months prior could be terrible, especially if you were a teenager, with school and your own life, and it could be (for lack of a better word) ruined resulting from something that was not your choice and against your will. Sex is special and should be personal, and shared with somebody important; and having it taken from you is a sick way of somebody pleasing themselves and could really screw with the victim's emotions, not to mention their body. And rape doesn't necessarily "force" you to make a certain decision, but it is demeaning and it could really ruin someone's life.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I was thinking if the woman kept the child, she would learn to cope with the rape and become stronger as a person because of it. I am not saying keeping the child would always be the right thing, but I can see where that could go wrong. The mother could end up resenting her child because the child reminds her of the experience.

I'm split on the abortion debate, but whenever someone brings up the subject of a raped mother, all I say is that my great-grandmother was raped by a German soldier in WW2, and she KEPT my grandmother. My grandmother was born into a country that looked down on her because of her dark hair and dark eyes, but she was brought up in a loving home and became the amazing woman I know her as today. You don't know who this baby is set to become, and who their eventual offspring are to someday become. If my Uroma had chosen to get rid of her unborn baby, I would not be here today.

There's more reasons than rape where abortion is 'ok.' Adoption is not an answer. Homes are over crowded and under funded. Kids are abused mentally, sexually, physically. Most kids spend their entire lives in the system, being abused, and once they're 18, they get thrown on the streets with absolutely nothing. The percentage of those kids who commit suicide is through the roof. The small percent that get adopted into nice families is just that, a tiny percentage. The rest are in and out of jail, homeless, etc. What about drug addict/alcoholic moms? Don't say 'they should have been responsible.' Uh..obviously they don't give a shit. Did you know that even a small amount of drugs can stay in the baby's system the entire pregnancy? Even if the mother got off as soon as she found out. How about the fact that a baby born under the influence goes through MONTHS of severe torture worthy withdrawal symptoms. And a high majority don't even make it through that. What about the 13-17 year old ...
