Daviesha Hubert

Daviesha Hubert Abortion is wrong. Yea some say it is just a cell but it is alive. My mom who got pregnant at 16 with me gave birth thinking she would regret it adn thinking she would have a hard time money wise but now that she looks back at it she says it was the best choice ever. My aunt who also got pregnant at a young age had an abortion and she regrets it very mcuh, she calls her self a murder every day think that baby could have been something important and could have changed the world. Abortion is wrong and it is murder you are killing a life Dont get a abortion have the child and put it up for a adoption it i sso much easiar

Anastacia Bayne

Anastacia Bayne its all finr to have abortions in my opinion becouse i knew that if it came down to me having a child at my age i would take that offer up in a heart beat...

Brittany Mitchell

Brittany Mitchell I dont think all abortion is wrong, i think it depend on your situation.

you should either;
1. Tell a trusted adult.
2. Talk to her about her options.

You shouldnt have her doing this alone. Especially when shes this far along in the pregnancy. ... Read More

Ive been through stuff like this. (my own personal experience) and yes its hard but you need to do it.

Good luck! (:

dont feel sorry for her, dont be mean or short either, what shes feelig is way more than you could possibly comprehend. she needs a friend that will hold her hand & back HER in the decisions she makes, YOU DONT HAVE TO LIKE THEM, & FEEL FREE TO SAY SO, BUT be HER BACK. thats what she needs from her PARENTS TOO. im not saying her family should cater... Read More to her every whem & let her get away with whatever, im saying she should be held responsible for her decsions & actions. & be taught how to be a responsible mother if thats the choice she makes. Its not easy, its trying, & most of her friends are going to drop her because of the added baby. BE A FRIEND..SHE NEEDS YOU
Scarlet Delenn Heupel

Scarlet Delenn Heupel sorry i wrote alot.... oh, by the way, i've been one of those people who wanted sex, but i stayed smart, i avoided situations like makign out with my boyfirend and being alone with him where no one could ever see us.... avoiding blissful situations is the best way to stay pure..... and another thing to do is to keep your mind pure too, ya, everyoen probably thinks of sex at one time or another, but craving sex will only cause you to try to push yourself to getting into situations of consequence.... or even just try acting sexy towards buys.... and once they think sexualy of you, it's hard to avoid but their stares or valgar statements tryign to perswade you to do soemthing sexy for them.... ya, you can kiss your boyfriend, but stay pure of mind and keep in control of how far you go..... oh, and FYI, i'm 13.... but i still know what i'm talking about.

Scarlet Delenn Heupel

Scarlet Delenn Heupel .... So gettign yourself in blissful situations is just an invitation for sex, and most of the time no one thinks of condoms... CONDOMS SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN MADE!!! condoms are just an excuse for soemone to be unresponcible... sex should only be for marrage, and then in marrage, when you have the rigth timing and can support a child... and condoms only protect 85% of the time, and birth controll only 65%... Because if you think of molecules and stuff, everything has like holes, or pores in it that let throught soem stuff, yes, condoms do too, that's why condoms actually don't protect against STD's... ya, semen might not get througth those tiny holes, but microscopic viruses and bacteria can... so no type of sex is fully safe... you always pass on soemthing even with 'protection'... so if you're thinking "oh, i just wanna lay my boyfirend" rethink, otherwise you could have to deal with the question of abortion or delivering...

Cheyenne

both condoms and birthcontrol protect 99.9% of pregnacy and most condoms DO protect against STDs.
Cheyenne
Cheyenne
all condoms.
Scarlet Delenn Heupel

Scarlet Delenn Heupel Abortion is one of the worst kinds of murder because you don't even know them, ya, sure they're in your stomach, but you don't know who they could become, plus they haven't done anything wrong, nothing, they're the purest living thing out there.... any baby is... i know one of my firends who was afraid of being raped, i would be too, i don't even feel comfortable walking alone around my neiborhood.... but rape doesn't just happen by soem creepy guy in a black van... one of my firends was almost raped by her boyfriend because she invited him over and made out with him while everyone else in her house was gone, he started getting pushy and pulled at her clothes; she had to push him off of her... i think she had it coming, havign a boyfirend in that kind of situation pretty much makes them think "oh hey, no one if here, she's kissing me on the bed, maybe this would be a good time to try sex...". and you might think, "oh, not all guys think of sex", but both sexes think of sex...

Scarlet Delenn Heupel

Scarlet Delenn Heupel My friend had once gotten pregnate, and she was only 10 at the time. she really didn't have much struggle with chosing to have the child over abortion.... i think aborsion shouldn't have been created, because you're killing a human being that is of pure innocence... they didn't chose to be created, that was the parents' fault. The child shouldn't have to suffer for the parents' stupid choice. But there are some cases where i heard that people got pregnate, but were physicly unable to deliver the kid because of bad health, there i can understand... But if you have sex, you should deal with the consequence, and rape is a whole different conversation... I've heard of soem people who got an aborsion not because they didn't want to delever, but because they didn't what the kid to have the blood of the person who raped them! WHO CARES ABOUT BLOOD LINES!!! but rape, it's the same thing, it's not the kids fault, it's the slimy ******* who raped their mommy... ABORSTION SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!!!

Abbie Weedall

Abbie Weedall My mates ashley got pregnant when she was 15 and I hadnt to keep it a secret from her mum it was really hard. a couple of weeks before she said she wants abortion I said how do you not no thats the only chance that you are going to get pregnant again. And now she has got a lovely baby boy mark lucas matthews

Danielle Strickland

Danielle Strickland To me I think no matter how you get pregnant you shouldnt abort it. Everyone should have a chance at life even if it is jus at the first stage you shouldnt take that chance away from it. Abortion isnt fair to the baby beause its helpless and there's no one but the mother to protect it.

Emily Bryant

Emily Bryant I became pregnant at 16, and just about everyone tried to get me to have an abortion, but I decided to keep her and now I am so glad that I did and didn't listen to what everyone said. She is my princess and one of the loves of my life. I wouldn't want it any other way.

Brandi Chick

Brandi Chick ok im just gonna say my opinion. i think SOME abortion is wrong. becaues if u wanted the sex and took the time to make the kid then u should Have it u dont have to keep it u can put it up for adoption lots of ppl that cant have kids want them. but if u where raped or its incest then i guess it would be different becaues well when ur raped then ur reminded of it even more and incest well thats just grows and the kid can be messed up.

Zanele Mbobo

Zanele Mbobo lets just say some girls are really strong

Kelsey Evanko

Kelsey Evanko u guys r SICKKKKKKK

Renae

Renae I dont like to judge because it's not my role, however I beleive i can give good advice based on my experience, I had a very hard pregnancy and without going into too much detail, I thought I was gonna die everyone voiced their opinions and I could've listened to them when I thought of the 9 long months ahead of me, and even though I suffered really badly for almost a year, I have a whole lifetime ahead filled with joy because I kept my baby boy!!!!!!!! and also I might add i'm so sick and tired of people making excuses as to why they can't keep their child if I can anyone can!!

Scarlet
Scarlet
you know, soemone who's a kid keeping their kid is actually more work for their parents, the parents have to take care of the baby from their child, it's not fair to them, but aborstion is out, no kid deserves to die when they haven't done anythig wrong; you can always delever that give it up for adoption.... some family would love to have a little girl or boy...

Victoria

Victoria I really have to stress again that abortion is murder. I don't care if people say "Well it's only a cell." It has a heartbeat it has fingernails! There are millions of people dying to adopt babies and yet people abort or even worse get partial abortions. When I became pregnant from a rape I had no intention of abortion (sadly I miscarried) but it's a human life. Stop questioning the inevitable..abortion is murder.

Anastasiya Chekhriy

Anastasiya Chekhriy question. i'm fairly neutral on this topic because i haven't had to deal with it seriously. but...if someone with lack of sufficient funds for a baby becomes pregnant....lets say a 16 year old girl...shouldn't she be allowed to abort a life simply because it's her life over the baby's. if the baby is born then 2 lives are ruined. the chances of the baby growing up in a happy home are slim. the chances of the said baby growing up with a good support system both emotionally and physically are also slim. the chances of the teenage mother being successful in life (money and career wise) are slim as well. shouldn't that unborn human being be spared the suffering? before the baby has time to suffer a life it wasn't planned to have? what gives me the right to be happy? the fact that my parents planned me. now please don't comment saying i support baby killing and all of that. because i defenetly do not. i just think that each situation is unique and abortion should stay an option for some.

Scarlet
Scarlet
but think of this, the kid can be adopted by other people who can pay for the child, so if you have the funds or not, it shouldn't matter, it's not like it was the kids fault that their mommy had sex... ya, i kinda get where you're coming from, but i only have one situation that i know of where i think it was appropreate, on girl had cancer and had sex before she knew, she was too weak to have a child and was forced to have an aborsion, or die... i do support her decision...

Finding the right guy is hard! Sure, it's easy when you're cruising the mall, smoothie in hand, to find a boy that makes your heart race, but what then? If you manage to talk to him, how do you know if he's the kind of guy who'll treat you right or if he's just in it for sex...

I recently had a bout with Lyme disease. I was visiting my best friend in California and we decided to go hiking in the woods. Later that night I discovered that I had been bitten by a tick. About two weeks later I came down with some really weird symptoms so I went to see the doctor right away...
Elayna O'Neill

Elayna O'Neill I'm a little confused here.... What are these girls standing up against as a whole? I know that each story has its own individual problem; but whats the main idea that the "Standing up" comes from? I can see that it's abortion... but there aren't pro-life people around trying to get you to abort your baby... the people that don't want the baby are either the girls having the kids or some close family or boyfriend. I'm very pro-choice; i believe no one should decide whether its ok for you to have your baby but you. The problem I have with pro-life people isn't that they disagree with me, but that they pressure other people to believe what they do. Even when a girl is outside an abortion clinic, most find it necessary to harass and pester the girls when they're already stressed out as it is. to those that are classier, kudos. Also, pro-life people don't go around saying "everyone should get abortions" we want you to do what you feel is right for you.

StandUpGirl
StandUpGirl
StandUpGirls don't stand up against, they stand up for... human life. When you believe that human life is intrinsically good, you are sorta kinda gonna tell people. Being polite and civil is important, but since there is no compromise position between life and death (either some is alive, or someone is dead) it shouldn't be a big surprise that the debate goes on as long as some people believe death is relative to the situation at hand.
Victoria

Victoria i am so happy there is a group like this! i am a teen mom who never ever thought abortion was the answer and i hope that other teens and women will feel the same as I.

Emmy

Emmy This makes soo much sense. Abortion is never an answer.... i mean.. Abortion is just.... ugh... i can't even say it.

Deanna Thurman

Deanna Thurman Wow im so gald theres a site like this where you can talk about you oppinions

Ali Ackman

Ali Ackman Abortion is wrong and it's killing a person no matter what other people say about certain senarios its ok. Let's say that you were raped... does that mean that you have the right to harm another person. NO!! Then they'll try to argue, what is a person? well from my point of view a sperm and an egg becomes a person at the point of conception, this is when they unite to become a zygote.
