Know of any links where I can direct a 14 year old to help convince her NOT to have an abortion?

Question

My 14 year old sister is pregnant and thinks abortion is her only option. I want to convince her that if she doesnt want the baby then someone else will gladly take him or her. Our parents are gonna go with whatever she decides. Give me some links that will help to build my argument that this isnt right.

Answer 1

Have your parents been declared "non compus mentus" ???

They have not involved the court when your sister was a victim of statuatory rape.?  And they are encouraging her to make a life changing decision by herself at age 14?

They need to be replaced by foster parents - for both of you.

Mentally retarded couples do a better job.

Do check out the sites others have given, but  PLEASE give some thought to contacting  the child services agency in your area.

Answer 2

I had one at age 15.  And for me it was the right decision... I do not regret it, I REGRET what brought me to have to make that kind of decision......I was stupid, and thought i was grown up...let me say this was an awakening...  



btw, it is her decision. not yours.................. Give her information on ALL options..... even if you do not agree with it....SHE is the one who spread her legs. SHE is the one who will have to live with whaver the outcome is.....

Answer 3

At 14, adoption or abortion really are her best options.  Try to get her to look at some TTC sites so she can see how many parents there are out there who would love to raise her baby, but ultimately it is her and the father's decision.

(And yes, I realize I am most likely going to get several thumbs down for that.)

Answer 4

show her websites

and for the record, I am glad you are arguing this situation! Abortion is horrible! I have a 4 year old, and he is my world, I had thought about adoption when I was pregnant with him at 17, but never abortion! There are so many women out there that can't have children, and the thought of being able to adopt and take care of a child is their whole goal in life!

Answer 6

Wow. Poor kid...and your parents are letting HER make this decision? Shame on them because if she changes her mind later then she will be mad at herself---if they decided then she could be mad at THEM.

BTW The 22 year old HAS been arrested, right?

There are plenty of people who want to adopt babies---so many that they travel to other countries to do it. Most kids that are adopted are older---so when you pull up statistics that is what you'll find.

Look in the phone book for a pregancy crisis center near you and they'll be able to give you information that is more relevant to your sister's situation.

What might help is looking at some of the new 3d and 4d ultrasound images taken during pregnancy. GE has some amazing technology and the images blow you away. You realize that there is a BEING in there---not a shapeless blob.

This is a company that does ultrasounds for expecting moms: http://www.firstviewultrasound.com/galle...

Answer 7

Have her watch some abortions on youtube.  It's pretty tough on the stomach, but if she decides to do that afterwards, there isn't anything that you can do.  Also going to different developing baby sites will show her what the baby looks like and exactly what is going on.  Good luck to you!

Answer 8

have her look at some TTC websites, there are so many people trying to have babies.

That is the only responsible option in my opinion.  It is her choice and not anyone elses.

tell her this is a real baby and they just kill it like it's a rat or something

also tell her that you will help her and everything will be ok.

Answer 10

Let me just say that she is so lucky to have such supportive parents.  I don't know where you live, but a 22 year old and a pregnant 14 year old would be cause for arrest for this man in most states.

Let her make the decision on her own.  It is tough to raise a baby at such an age, and will be tough to give up a baby and know for the rest of your life, "your baby" is out there and one day he/she may try to contact you.  Or you wonder later in life, when you are older and have kids with your hubby, about this child that someone else is raising.  How would that make her feel?
