^ It is pretty horrible. A poor little baby waiting to get into this world. The least you can do is give it a chance. Even if your too young for a baby or your not ready remember there are soooo many people that can’t have babies and they would do anything to have one. Abortion isn’t the only option and it shouldn’t even be an option!

Personally I think they are horrific and shouldn’t exist. It is not hard to use contraception. If a person is having sex without it they should be aware of the consequences. Children have sex far to young these days which leads to teenage pregnancy and often abortion. The thing that sickens me most though, is the fact that you can get one done without your parents knowing. If she doesn’t want a baby why did she have unprotected sex?! I’m not judging, but it’s just common sense. It’s not hard to go on the pill or use a condom, even though they always work 100% at least she trying to stop it.
I don’t believe in abortions at all. It is not the baby’s fault the parents were irresponsible.

i don’t believe in abortions, i feel everyone should just keep they;re legs together and they won’t have this problem

not having sex… the world’s best contraceptive

It didn’t work for Mary.

Abortion ?

Well your friend is really young, but she aint the only girl
out there in this situation. Its hard but why doesnt she think of
adopting the baby, theres alot of help out there.

Personally i think abortion is killing a innocent soul
but keep that in mind of adoption or ask a family member if
they could look after baby so your friend could see the
baby whenever she wants.

I hope everything goes well with her and keep strong for the
both of them.

Oh and I forgot to say that it only ruins your life if you let it. My friend had a baby at 16 and is now an almost fully qualified nurse. I myself am also studying and if anything, my boys have made my life better…

Agree! I had my baby boy at 18, he is the best thing that has happened to me. I did consider an abortion when I found out i was pregnant but I am so thankful I didnt.
I think it is up to the individual if they want to keep a baby or not, but I girls should think about the emotional affects after an abortion and make sure they have all the support they need, because I know of girls that have regretted an abortion and have never gotten over it because they didn’t have the emotional support.

oh and there is always adoption, there are so many people out there desperate to be parents that cant have a baby of their own. The gift of life is so precious.

Okay honestly, I think it’s up to each girl to decide. If I got pregnant at the moment, I personally would choose to have an abortion. I’m not in a stable situation to bring a child into this world. However I would support a friend with whatever decision they made. I know that some people would never even consider abortions, and that’s their own choice. It’s a huge decision to make, and I think it’s up to each girl to decide for themselves.

With abortions, it is important to realise that the right decision will be different for everyone.  It is easy for some to say that ‘it won’t ruin your life unless you let it’ or similar comments, but really none of us know the facts in this case.  Your friend’s family may treat her terribly if they find out that she is pregnant at such a young age, among other reasons why an abortion may be the best option for your friend at this time, possibly including the circumstances around who she got pregnant with etc.  Your friend needs to know that she has support from her friends no matter what she decides to do.  (Continue with the pregnancy or have an abortion).  Also, it is all very easy for people to say that adoption is an easy option when this is clearly not true.  Sure, it’s a great thing to do for the adoptive parents, but it isn’t really socially acceptable either - people can be judgemental about a mother who gives up her baby for adoption.  If adoption was easy or the best option more people would be doing it and not many do.

for me, im fully against abortions. it’s not the babys fault it got where it is, right? but everybody has their different beliefs & reasons why doing so. but pretty much, upto her but im fully against it.

fully against them!!

NO NO NO NO!!!! Do not have an abortion!!! Number 1. Very painfull. Number 2. When it’s over with you will feel so horrible you would feel like dying. Here is a story of a women I know.
“My boyfriend and I were in our first year of college. We had been dating for a year but had known each other for three years. When we found out I was three months pregnant we were very joyful and excited about the arrival of our baby.

But feelings changed once we told our families. They believed it was too soon for us because we were just starting our adult lives. They suggested abortion, and we went along with it. Now I feel guilty and ashamed of the thought that I killed an innocent life because my family believed the time was not right.

Every day I cry thinking about my baby. I just want to tell anyone who is thinking of an abortion, please, please make sure it is the right thing to do because there is no turning back after you wake up from surgery.”

Please, Please think about this!!! If she doesn’t want the child, do an adoption!!! I’m going to get a career in Family Adoption and let me tell you!! Abortion is a horrible thing!!!

Everyone has the right to choose. I’m not so keen on the idea but i haven’t had to be in that situation so i won’t actually know what i would do until i have to think about it.

Obviously the most important thing is to practice safe sex and ignore your boyf/lover if he says “condoms aren’t comfortable for me.” Because there are plenty of other fish in the sea.. In the long run, if he doesnt want to use condoms, he probably doesnt use them with anyone else and an STD is there forever. You can’t get rid of a lot of STD’s as well as you can have an abortion or take the morning after pill.

However, sometimes you can get pregnant for many reasons. As a 32-year-old woman, if i got pregnant now, I would keep it as i have lived an interesting life and have my own house and am ready to be a good mum.  At 15, your friend is very young and needs to live her life.  Abortions are not easy, they ruin your life, you constantly feel guilty for years later about the baby and how old it would be now etc.

She’s really strong for making this decision, it’s an awful decision for a young girl to make and her partner sounds like a right douche! I doubt the terrible thoughts that will be going on in her mind will bother him one little bit.  Sucks being a chick sometimes!

You sound like a supportive friend, keep up the good work but let her make the decision that is best for herself. xo
