Teen pregnancy

At seventeen I am old enough to know better so I would accept my resonsibilty and give my baby a good life...No I never think any situation calls for abortion even rape ... The 13 year girl and her parents need some counciling ...I hope they can get through this terrible situation ...

Wait...I didn't understand first you wrote 13yrs old girl & then 17 yrs old. What exactly is the age of the girl? I think if she is just 13, abortion is the right option in such case because that girl herself is a kid & how can she take responsibility of the child. And even if her parents decide to take the responsibility of the child, its not easy for a 13yrs old to carry a child for 8-9 months & then give birth to it.

This is a disease of western families. They do not set a good example for children. They have no time for proper parenting the child Parents as well as children have absolute freedom which is being misused for self destruction. Instead of allowing some discipline in living a decent life, they want everything to be done in hurry, as if they are in race. These children indulge in such activities by the time they reach 25, they look old, tired, with mental illness about love, lust, abortions, cheating etc. Has parenting children in a decent atmosphere has taken the beating? Definitely not in a country like India where the family bondage does not allow parents to be irresponsible and children to be errands

I DO NOT AGREE with abortion. I do have friends aborted their baby and i guess somehow i understand why they did it. But i dont still agree with it. In case if i were in that situation, i will really tell to my boyfriend what happened. Eventhough he doesnt wanna know about the baby but he have the right because he is the father. We should be talking about it.

I am against abortion but in this type of situation I would have to relent . She is just a child , for that matter they both are . She is really not equipped to be a parent or to go through all the emotions and eveything else that go along with pregnancy and then the torture of labour .

i still would not approve abortion, it's a mortal sin. killing of a child that has done you no wrong is really not fair. if she doesn't want the baby she could have let it live and send it to adoption, that i would think is a lot sensible thing to do. A person's life is a gift from God and we should not take it away from him. You could always turn to your parents for help and encouragement to overcome the test of life but never take the life God has given you. If i was the parent of the child i would be supportive and give her encouragement, it may be painful but that's what parents are here for. i was on that situation where i got pregnant, but i was 19 then. my mom was so hurt but still she supported me and encouraged me and another thing is my bf did not leave me. So its something i'm thankful for though i was not able to finish my schooling.

Abortion is NOT the answer here. There are many parents on waiting lists to adopt children.

I do not support teen pregnancy!!

I AM NOT BELIVE IN THIS

I think that in the case of a 13 year old girl, unless she desperately wanted the baby i would advise abortion. a child raising a child? In the case of a 17 year old, she is old enough to make the deision that is right for herself and would support whatever decision she made.

hi deni.. teen pregnancy is the one v ve to reduce it.. as per ur view v ve to approve abortion definetly as she is just 17 years old and if v don do tat surely it ll spoil her future and so i don agree teen pregnancy..

A wrong doing cannot be corrected by another wrong thing...Many of the person I know who did abortion always regret every single minute of what they did...So let it be it until you give birth to your child...Life is very precious...

awww i dn't know what to say but...i think abortion will not solve the problem

i would have the baby but that is my choice. i would never be able to have an abortion. i say never but who knows what i would do if i got raped and got pregnant that way. anyway. for myself i'm against abortion but that doens't mean i'm against abortion for someone else. i beleive it's a women's choice. and if i was 17 and haden't finished high school there are other options. like having the baby and giving it up for adoptions, or even having a willing relative raise your child as their own or for the time being.

I would have had the baby. The unborn child is not guilty of anything and deserves a chance, even if they would give the baby for adoption.

are you that girl , i think that may be the reason for your starting this rubbish discussion.

considering no harm to health i will go for abortion other wise no option.! than having child but this is still under dissccusion how to treat that child should we give it to orphanage or try growing him up with ourself...coz in india its illeagal to marry before 18.!!

i would first complete my education than i wll think about pregnecy

i am never for abortion because i am pro-life and killing is mortal sin in my beliefs. i have always believed that god will never put us in a condition that we cannot surpass. given the situation whether we like it or not, it is a responsibility now to face the consequences. just have to continue with the pregnancy til baby is born & if there's no means to raise the baby, it's better to give him/her for adoption or place in institutions that could take care of the baby well. yes, it is so hurtful but that will be the best way for the baby to live a better life even without the parent. you may never know that the baby you bore would become a great asset to society that can help a lot of people in any way he/she might become in the future.

In this situation i would probably have aborted the baby as itisnot even accepted by its own father how could the other people accept it as agood person. he will be called a result of illegal relation and will be dominated by all before i have to see and face asuch a bad situation where you stand as guilty infront of your child asking you who is his father and why you gave birth to me when you donot have legal relation. why to give birth if i cannot give it happy and prosperous life. i know god even would have forgiven any of women fron this sin because it is a good work in face of sinas you save a new life from feelings of guilt and shame
