I did get pregnant when I was without a partner. However, I was 30 years old and working a good paying full-time job as a secretary. I had my baby with a friend by my side and took care of her for two years by myself. I actually look back on those two years with such fondness. It was a wonderful time for me and my daughter.
I would never consider abortion. I do not believe we should be playing God. If it was meant to be then it was meant to be. I had a second pregnancy and was freaking out. I had a boyfriend at the time but we were living apart (I was raising my daughter) and I didn't know what to do. We decided to move in together but a couple of weeks before the move I had a miscarriage. I felt guilty because I actually had uttered the words "Maybe I'll miscarry". Sorry, baby. But like I said, if it was meant to be it was meant to be. God is in control. I spent six years in my first marriage trying to get pregnant unsuccessfully. I know now why God didn't allow me to get pregnant then. As upsetting as it was for me while going through it, I am now thankful that I didn't get pregnant then.
All things happen for a reason. If you get pregnant unintentionally and you were doing everything in your power to prevent it, there is a reason. We are always being tested in life. Did you make the right decision or, in God's eyes, did you fail? Who are we to take away the life of an innocent baby? I look at my 14 year old daughter and think, my God, what would my life be like if I had aborted her?

No, I will never ever consider abortion. I can't afford to kill someone especially my baby. I will stand for my actions and take the consequences with it. Even if everyone will get mad at me, i will fight for the baby. His my baby anyway. I have committed a mistake already and I don't like to add another mistake with it. if that happens, I can give up my affiliation and work on that later but for now, I will continue my pregnancy.

I personally wouldn't think twice about getting an abortion in any situation. I never want kids, so if I ever had the misfortune of becoming pregnant, I would get one immediately.

I would never consider it. I was in the situation, unmarried, pregnant, and no financial support. I gave my child up for adoption. It may seem easy to abort but remember you are already carrying a life. You are no longer a virgin and even an operation cannot restore what was lost. If you are the boyfriend responsible for the situation, that is you got your girlfriend pregnant, think of how much of a cad she thinks you are if you force her to get an abortion, and especially if there are complications.

What does not being a virgin have to do with anything? I don't know where you live, but where I live, no one really cares. Abortion is an option for women who genuinely have no interest in carrying or birthing a child.
Also, some women would love to be pushed to get an abortion. There are many who are greatful for it. I know I would.

Discovering about being pregnant should be the joyous and momentous part of women lives but not in all who have unplanned pregnancy they aren't quite pleased.Feelings and thoughts are really confusing especially to young women but be sure if this case arise avoid abortion, turn help and support to your family.I didn't think about an abortion as an option to escape in this kind of problem.

Thats why I said not in all women lives, unplanned pregnancy to other aren't quite pleased.I hope that we didn't misunderstand the thought I've been referring to here.Yes it is true that the family aren't always there to support their children but it doesn't mean that abortion is the answer for the mess that their children had been going through.

It dosn't matter what you think or what I think: When it comes down to someone thinking about it... Its up to them, and what they can live with. It's a woman body, and it dosn't belong to the goverment, or the christan collaltion

This happens so often. It's a very sad situation for all. I don't tell people what do about that particular situation. This is what I tell young people. When I am standing in the door way between this life and the next, and I am looking back over my shoulder at the decisions that I've made along the way -- what will I see? Choose carefully for these memories walk along with you thoughout your entire life.

I am against abortion. Personally, i hate seeing these fetuses being thrown in public places and being found by people. I believe its a matter of being responsible with our actions. If ever I get pregnant I wont consider having an abortion. I have a God that looks down on me and its not about the world's promises that i have to sacrifice my morality and do soemthing that is not acceptable.

It I were to get pregnant when I didn't wish to be, I'd terminate the pregnancy. It's legal in the US, thankfully. And it is not against my religious or moral beliefs.
Pregnancy is a huge commitment. It's not one I think anyone should be forced into when they are not ready for it.
