Abortion

I couldn't have an abortion if the child was deformed or mentally retarded but I really don't know what I would do if I was raped and became pregnant.

Thank you for commenting and I understand what you are saying but as a women, I don't know what i would do if I was raped but as for the child having something wrong with it, I would probably keep it.

I defiantly liked your come back on this. You are right. I believe that no person has the right to rape and that it should be up to the individual on rather or not to abort the child. It would be hard to keep something that is a reminder of the pain the you endured.

but you could have an abortion which requires the baby to be cut into pieces and vacuumed out. \if you don't want any kids then keep you legs closed using abortion as birth control is sick. If you had say a 8 year old daughter and they were in a tragic accident that left them mentally or physiclly handicapp would you kill them. it's selfish to have an abortion just because your to immature to accept that life changes and you don't want to change your partying ways. Grow up and have some sense.

I am disgusted and offended that you would accuse me of being immature, promiscuous and a "party" chick simply because I choose to remain child-free. It is my right as a human, a woman and an American to do so and I'll be d@mned if I allow anyone to take my rights away. You are in no position to tell me what I can and cannot do with my life and my body as I am not effecting or hurting you or anyone else. You have no right to tell me that I cannot engage in love-making with my future husband because I never want children. Not only that, but I never said that abortion was a form of birth control, it is a last resort when birth control fails. Or are you against all forms of birth control? Also, killing an eight-year-old child is murder. Removing a fetus before it becomes a cognitive being is not. Allowing a child to be born, knowing it would leave a depleted lifestyle is selfish. Murdering the victim of an unfortunate accident is stupid. Especially if it's something as superficial as paraplegia. Try to be a bit more educated before you start spouting your opinions, stereotypes, preconception and propaganda as if it were fact and truth.

I could not have an abortion myself but my cousin has and she said that a part of her regrets it but another part of her is glad. The reason behind this is because she became pregnant when she was fifteen years old, she is now twenty and has went on to finish school and build a life. She now has two kids with her husband and the descision that she made, she believes was for the best. If she wouldn't have had the abortion, she would have never finished school. I understand that a lot of people say that this is not right and that she could have finished school, but let's face it, it is hard to do with kids. I have three kids of my own and I never finished school because of it. I was a single mother for a few years and it is not fun. I am only twenty-two years old and I got lucky to have found my husband but before I was working two full time jobs and one part time job, it was fun or easy and I never got to see my children. My sister practically raised my kids because I was at work all the time. I wouldn't trade my kids for the world but it hasn't been easy. What would have happened if the children would have ended up on the streets or if the situation would have went terribly wrong. I guess that there is always DHS custody but who would want to see their kids there? I have mixed feelings towards abortion.
