If you are not "ready" to be a parent.. would you consider abortion?

i was too young when i had my first child out of marriage. i told my girlfriend that i was not ready for the child as i was still studying. so i let her decide to abort or continue with the baby. personally, i really against abortion because it is a sin. but i cannot blame myself at that time for i was really too young and wasn't ready.

Reading the title alone made me answer "NO" right away. If I were one of those young girls who ever got pregnant by their bf's, I will surely not have an abortion as an option. No matter what my parents or other people has to say, I have to let the child live. I won't say anything to those who has chose to answer yes to this question, we have our own opinion and I strongly would not agree to abortion. Why? Because the child has life, and abortion is like killing a life of an innocent child. I am a catholic who believes that it is a great sin to kill or end a person's life.

I really cannot say how my head would work the next minute. One minute I may say no, the next, I may say yes. But killing another life is a BIG never do to me aside if it's pests such as mosquitoes and crazy humans who will do me and my family harm...

There is no way I would ever consider abortion. To me there is a life inside of you and abortion is taking that life away and to me its like murder. I feel that if you are too young to be a parent and you dont think you could do it or, no support, etc. then adoption is a very good choice. There are so many couples who cant have children at all and adoption is their option.

For me the answer would be "no" - even when married and not ready, or married and ready but financially unable to conceive of supporting a child I would still go for it. No matter what the situation. I applaud a woman's right to choose and would never presume to tell another what is right for him or her. I guess I'm lucky. My two children were born when I was ready - my first at 29; my second when I was 37. I was less 'ready" with the first because I was a single parent then. Her father and I did marry when she was five and three years later I had my second and last child. sometimes it's hard to think you are ready for that first child no matter what the circumstances. A baby will change your life forever.

I saw this when I made somewhat a same topic a while ago. If I was young and so unready for these thing but it happened... well I would still choose to continue my pregnancy. That is a wonderful gift from God. And on the time that a person is making love, these things should be expected to happen and considered. The little baby should be given the chance to live.

If I was 16 years or 17 years old and I got pregnant. It would be too early for my liking. So therefore I would have let my baby be born then had him or her adopted. I wouldn't have aborted my baby because that would have been killing an innocent baby. If I had got pregnant at 18 years old it would be way too soon to become a parent. I would have tried to keep my relationship with the father going and perhaps get married to him. I would let my baby be born at that early adult age and get by with some help. I bought my own cottage at 19 years old so I would have been alright if I had really got pregnant at 18 years old. I would have tried to carry on with my studying and get childcare. Then I would be able to get a good career to support my child. I would never consider abortion because for me it is totally wrong.

"If I were put into the situation... if I were too young, no work, no means of my own living...I stiill need my parents to support me... and I were scared of course of the responsibility... would I consider, and or suggest abortion? why or why not..." Actually the answer is already given as how you stated your hypothesis. The situation is so clear and definitely my answer will be no and never I will ever suggest abortion specially for a reason of being unprepared. If I am not yet prepared to hold parental responsibility then I think I should better sew my opening down below.

I don't hate on people who do get abortions.. but I wouldn't. I feel like I might look back at it later in life and regret it. If I wasn't ready I would just have to get ready, and if I was young I guess I would have to grow up then too.

I wouldn't.First because it's my blood and i wouldn't kill a relative especially my own child.I don't have anything against people who get an abortion because it's their choice but even if you're not ready you should just think of the baby as a blessing

If I were to get pregnant while I am still young I would do everything in my power to keep and support my baby even if it meant breaking from my parents supporting me and living as a poor and young mother, as long as I could feed, shelter, cloth, care for and love my baby.
