well if the girl was raped, then the guy has no saying what so ever. if it wasnt, the guy still shouldnt have a say because im not sure the girl would have sex only to give the guy a baby. *shrugs*
#3. If a 15 year old girl is raped, she should be able to have an abortion. She's phsycally and mentally unready to raise a child. A bad situation, as a whole. But if some 17 year old is ####### her boyfriend, and her birth control doesn't work, I think she needs to keep the kid. You have sex, you're taking the risk of getting pregant, plain and simple.
i think the child should be aborted if it cannot be raised properly even if the child is given birth, it wouldn't be a life worth living for him, his parents wouldn't love him and would be considered as something born out of a mistake :wth:
I've hardly ever been happy. I hate my life, my family, friends, and sh*t like that, but I deal with life. Life isn't fair, but we gotta deal with it. Be irrisponsible, face the consequences of your actions. Later on in life you'll be saying the same thing to your kids. They are people who are sad, and they are people who are happy. Depends on how you're raised. If we are sad we have ways of changing that, but most of us are too scared because of what will happen. This is our choice. Abortion should be a choice, but sometimes people just need to learn a fu*king lesson. Our generation has become waaay too babied and it's time we grew the f*ck up. [/b][/quote] Ditto.
I think abortion should only be allowed if the pregnancy means serious health risks for the mother or if the child is going to be severly disabled either physically or mentally. If the pregnancy is the result of a rape, then abortion should be considered if the mother wants one. If a girl gets pregnant because she and her boyfriend were irresponsible, then they should have to face the consequences. People need to learn to own up to their mistakes. I get sick of the phrase "It's not my fault."
I have so many views on this... First of all, abortion should be the woman's decision. We guys will never know the pain of pregnancy, and if a woman does have sex, and they don't want that pain, or if they just don't want a kid, then they should be allowed to have an abortion. On the other hand, this woman, if she hadn't wanted a child, should have made the man wear a condom, or not have had sex at all. And if she did, and she still got pregnant, than that would be her fault. Condoms don't promise to protect against: HIV, AIDS, VD, Yeast Infection, any sexual disease, or pregnancy. They are to provide help to stop pregnancy, thats it. Once a man puts on a condom the woman made him put on, they agree that the condom may not prevent pregnancy. If the woman was mature, she wouldn't have an abortion, because you are killing a living being, whether it has seen the world or not. I don't care if someone hasn't had the baby yet, and I hate it when people say "well it's not been born yet." Uh, can you even imagine that pain that baby goes thorugh? When that embryo, fetus, whatever it at the moment, hey as soon as its a fetus it can feel, it feels pain, I mean c`mon its being killed, it feels the same thing as we would if we we're shot in the head, but not killed instantly, instead over weeks we feel pain from that. A embryo, nor anything else in a mother's body dies instantly, no matter what. Not if it chokes itself with the umbilical cord, not if it starves, not if it dies from lack of blood..no matter what it feels pain. So think of it this way, abortion = taking a baby in your hand, and stabbing it. Think about it. It doesn't matter if you we're raped or not, you can have an adoption. I don't think people should have an abortion, but it should be there choice, they shouldn't banned from it. The only, and I mean only, time I would think it right, well still not right, but the best option, to have an abortion is if the mom was going to die because of the birth. If she didn't, the mom would die, and the chances of the baby living after birth would be slim. No matter what it's not right, but it should be your choice.
#3 would be the ideal choice but it's virtually impossible. I mean, who's gonna have the time to investigate pregnancies? And girls are definately gonna take advantage and say she was raped even if it was just a birthcontrol problem.
I'm Pro-Choice, so naturally, I'm for abortion. My reasoning is simple. The parents created the baby, and a child, no matter what age, really can't make it's own decisions until it's a legal adult (18), so it's up to the parents. Now, I'm only for abortion when it comes to right out of the womb babies. Not like, a year old baby. But they really could find a better & quicker way to abort the babies, rather than just slicing & dicing.
1. Most of the time I'm pro-choice but like I've said, it depends heavily on the circumstances. 2. An embryo is just a collection of cells. It feels no pain because its nerve system is not yet developed. A living organism can only feel pain if it has a nerve system; hence embryos feel no pain. With a fetus, this might be different. I'm not sure at what stage of the baby's life his/her nerves are developed but before that, I think it's okay to abort the pregnancy. 3. I'm a girl so obviously I'm a bit biased as to who should have a say. I agree that sometimes both the guy and the girl should decide whether to give up the child but I'm inclined to think the girl has more right because SHE'S the one who's going to squeeze the baby from between her legs, she's the one who will be giving nutrients to the baby, ultimately, she's the one who has to deal with the pain. The guy has nothing to lose. Not to mention in most cases of teenage pregnancies, the guys don't give a s##t about the girl or the child.
#3 The girl came to the decision to have sex. Unless she was in different circumstances like rape or another situation where sex was forced upon her. And when she came to that decision, she should have been aware of the consequences and how they could affect her life. For her to be pregnant because of that decision, is her fault and her's alone. She should not look to abortion as a "Get Out Of Jail" free card. It's unfortunate I'm sure, but you need to take the necessary precautions. Or practise abstinence. With abortion, you're killing a life. And it could have side effects which could haunt you later, ex; infertility. All in all, I believe if you're not ready to take on the responsiblity or possibility of carrying or having a child, stay away from sex. It's all too simple. You can wait with sex.

But still, you develop a nervous system inside the womb, correct? So depending when you had the abortion, the baby could feel pain. What about when the nervous system is developed or whatever? I'm not scientist...nor a embryo...but I bet that it would feel pain, after all it is being murdered, and though I've never been murdered either, I bet it would sting. My point was there's still a chance your hurting it then, whether it's an embryo or not. Also, there is no way to prove whether it can feel, or not feel, while it's an embro, because no one in the world can remember being one, hence; they wouldn't know...am I right? I may be wrong..but I'm pretty sure I'm right. The only way we would know, is if there was a person born with no nervous system...and maybe someone has been, and they tested them...then I would be proven wrong, but I don't know of anyone who has been born like that. And cells are living, so no matter what your killing something.

A collection of cells is not the same as a fully developped fetus.
Geez lets not get too scientifical here. It's someone else's baby, they choose to kill it, get over it. Call me coldhearted, but I dont give a damn about what some stranger does with their embryos. Having children should be a cherished thing in a marriage, and if people choose to ignore that, you cant change their opinions.
A few years ago a friend of mine got pregnant and aborted when she was only 13. She did it all without her parents knowing and i dont think they would know now. i think it was her own fault and she will have to live with the guilt for the rest of her life, but the situation was weird sinse she was just following her best friend who also had sex with a 17 year old but she got unlucky and was pregnant. i have no idea what i would have done in that situation but she was really young and the father didnt want anything to do with it. it really is the persons own choice i dont think anyone has the right to tell you what you can do with your baby.

I can't choose any. On one hand, if someone is willing to have sex while knowing the consequences, they should suffer those consequences. Like they say: you do the crime, you do the time. There is a downside to this. If someone has a kid but doesn't want it, chances are that kid will live a horrible life. The parents would likely neglect the child or abuse it or put it up for adoption. Off topic: Adoption is another thing I'm not sure of. It could affect a child in many ways. Knowing that their real parents didn't love them and that they were living a lie. But than again, it could be a good thing. For the child is living a life with those who love him/her. I do think that those who have been forced to be pregnant should be allowed to abort this child. Adoption could be another choice, but again, there are ups and downs to that, in my opinon. What I do know is: if someone had to choose between dying and having a child, they should have the right to choose what they want. Some women wouldn't survive giving birth, so have to result to other things. Or perhaps a woman has a disease and knowing giving birth results to passing this disease down to their child. Therefore, this woman would rather to have a abortion than to have this child live a life of that kind. I'm sort of neutral with abortion. Never have I had a experience with abortion. So I can't say I'm with it or against it. *Shrugs*
All I can say is, that unless you're a rape victim, you were somewhat willing to have sex and abortion is murder in that case. It's your fault for getting yourself pregnant and you'll have to live with it.
