I ran into an old school friend of mine and she and I were catching up and we were talking about my daughters and then I asked her if she had any kids and she said NO.. She said she had been pregnant but she had an abortion because she did not like who the father is... I think this is wrong if she did not the guy she should have thought about that before she slept with him in the first place and if she was going to sleep with him even though she did not like him as a person she should have used protection of some sort which she said she did not I think that was just real wrong what does everyone else think?

damn. well maybe she got raped n the baby was the result n she just couldnt bring herself to tell u that. or maybe they did use protection n it wasn't 100% effective. or maybe...there r alot of reasons why she could have had an abortion. u really dont know. n maybe its just not something u tell someone u haven't seen in a while. i dont think its right to judge someone from a simple answer like that. im sure there are way more things that she just couldnt get into with u. but yeah if not then i dont think thats cool. if she didnt like the guy she shouldnt have sleep with him.

She was not raped She was dating the guy had been with him for 2 years. he and I were dating when she started seeing him and he left me for her along time ago..So she did like the guy she took him from me but we are still friends and that is why I am so shocked by her decision..

It was definately wrong..If u dont like the father of ur baby, it is not the baby's fault..It shows how careless and selfish that person can be...i am very sorry to say, but ur frnd does not deserve to be a mother at all...

I don't think that having an abortion is justifiable just for not liking the father, like you said..she slept with the guy! It's not like she would've had to have gotten into a relationship with the guy, but she would've had to have shared parential rights if he was suited to be a father.

Some view abortion as something bad, whist others prefer to believe that as long as the fetus is not a fully formed baby, it is ok. Then there are others who believe, as long as you are pregnant, abortion is sinful. So, it all depends on which group of thought you belong to. My personal opinion is that once you get pregnant, keep the child. Children are always fun to have around and when you get old and they mature, at least you have someone close to talk to intelligently when noone else want to talk to you (coz you are then senile and all) But of course I am a man, with this opinion. Ladies might view it defferently as they are the one giving birth and delivery is not an easy or exciting experience, trust me I know, I went thru 2 with my wife and though I am not the one delivering, I feel for her...

Kids are fabulous if you want them. They aren't so great if you don't want them or can't take care of them.

I condemn what you friend did. Why did she slept with the person she did not liked? If everything happened when she was liking this person and then she started disliking him then she should have continued with the pregnancy and then got the person to task. That would have been better.

That's really not the reason why people have abortions, I'm sure she was just not ready for a child, if she's going to act like that heck it's good that she terminated the pregancy, she might not have liked the child. Who knows maybe things are better that way for her.

Perhaps it is better for her, but what about the baby that lost its life because the mother didn't like the father. I just think that abortion is a very sad thing. I've never had an abortion but know three people whom I'm very close to that have and at least two have been devastated by their decision.

I don't want to be judgmental or anything like that. but abortion, for me, is a very serious offense, it's murdering an unborn child, and i think that your friend may not have an idea what happens when babies get aborted. there are a lot of sites here that graphically present what really happens in abortion and if your friend could have seen these sites, she'd probably regret having submitted herself to have an abortion.

Perhaps...but lets logically think about this (I am not advocating for or against abortion here) but would you really want a child to be raised in a home where there would be such animosity and immaturity on the part of the parents? Is this not a perfect way to ruin a child's life? However ridiculous and immature the reason was, at least she isn't going to make a child suffer because of her mistake. I am sick of woman having kids and then treating them like crap because they can't provide, they hate the father, they are too inexperienced to know what motherhood entails, etc... The fact is that yeah she "could" have done those things, but she didn't. A child shouldn't have to suffer because of it. Perhaps she made the right choice after all.

I agree but she could have put the baby up for adoption so someone else could give the child a chance

Abhor ABORTION! It is dammed illegal and people (the parent or the doctor) who abort the birth of a child is committing a Great SIN! It does not matter whether it is still a fetus or what, any union of a man and a woman for pro-creation is still a person unborn. If you commit abortion, you are killing an unborn child, and that is against the law of God, not mentioning the government. Just picture yourself as being the unborn child and your being born into a beautiful world was just cancelled by a irresponsible mother or doctor that carries out the abortion. It is just not fair to the unborn child. Abortion should be banned everywhere, in all nations, in all religions and in any form of government because it is againts the law of nature and GOD.

Abortion is not illegal in the United States, and what if the woman is raped? While it's not the baby's fault, it is not the mother's fault either.

This would of course depend on the situation. If they were in love and then fell out of love and then she found out she was pregnant then I'm not one to say, for Im a man. If it was the way it seems and she just slept with him for a one night or a couple of weeks, then she is definatley wrong and so is he. They should have used protection. I understand that its hard for someone who has kids and loves them to understand this about people but sometimes they cant fathom the love a child brings to their life, so class it as more of a burden than anything else. If she had've kept the child she would have had help from the government. Some think that this is also wrong. I suppose it would have to be up to the individual to choose.

he did not know she was pregnant and they had been together for like 2 years and when they broke up she decided she did not like him anymore and did not want his baby

Well then I have to say that I feel it's the wrong choice that she made. If they were together then getting pregnant is what generally happens. She should have the baby, because she doesn't like the father has nothing to do with the baby. Also I would like to discuss why this is never to do with what the father wants. I understand that it's the mothers body that the baby is growing inside but it should be the fathers choice as well. If she didn't want the baby she could ave given him/her to the father and never seen them again. If she had've had the baby she might of decided that she loved it anyway. The mistakes that they both made should mean that it's the fathers choice too.

I also agree with what most people have said.. I am not for abortion for birth control. Most women do get abortions for this reason though. I have to say, I have learned so much from my children, they are my greatest joy, and I really enjoy having them around.

The truth - the truth
I get so mad when I hear of all these people killing innocent unborn babies!!! So many women out there want children so badly, and can't get pregnant while the ones who do get pregnant for lack of irresponsibility, just get rid of their child like a used tissue paper. It gets me so frustrated!! What your friend did is plain and simple SELFISH. She only thought of herself, not of the father (whom i presume does not know what she did) or of the unborn child that was growing inside her.

That is what I think my opinion is she did not like the dad fine give the baby up for adoption don't kill let someone who wants a baby have a chance and I had asked her why she did not put the baby up for adoption and she said she could not imagine someone else raising her baby makes no sense to me she did not want it but did not want to give another family the option to give the baby life..

WOW - I can't even believe she said that. If she chose to sleep with him and then didn't use protection and had an abortion than she should keep it to herself for being stupid. Not everyone shares the same views and on a controversial topic like this she should just stay quiet. Personally I never ask anyone if they have kids. If they do, they will tell me. I have a few friends who can not have kids and have tried to adopt for years but have been unsuccessful. This question hurts them so much because when they say No, the person usually asks why not? Then they have to face it all over again that either they or their husband is unable to make a baby, etc. I let people tell me if they have kids or I don't bring it up

I do not think abortion justifies the fact that she dislikes the guy. Your friend should have taken some form of protection. I am definately against abortion. A life has been wasted.

I am never "for" abortion as contraception. Having an abortion simply because you don't like who you chose to screw, is a really crappy thing to do, IMO. Of course what do I know? I just don't get some people.
