Should i have an abortion?

Question

hi i am 17 and am wondering if i should have my baby or if i should abort it because if i have the baby my dad will kill me when he finds out the baby is half black

Answer 1

Well half black isn't a good excuse, get a abortion if your health is at risk, you want to stay in school. Abortion is legal for a reason, your body your choice but if race is the only issue don't.

Answer 2

You should tell him the truth and keep your baby. Its your baby and your choice so you should keep it and tell the babies father. If your dad is threatening to kill you then look at moving in with the babies dad and if they isn't possible then you could always go to am hostel or help centre who will help you and support you.

Answer 3

If your only reason for getting and abortion is because its "half black" that's not a good reason at all, you shouldn't have had s*x with a "black person" if you knew the consequences. FInd somewhere else to stay besides with your dad since he is raciest.

Answer 5

Why should you kill a baby because it "may" be black??? at 17 you ar e old enough to care for your baby. Would it be nice if you parents chose to abort you before you were born?? What is the problem of blacks? It is only a pigment in their skin tell your dad. And who are you to remove the life of the baby?? Never do such things, you will be disppaointed for your whole life for doing abortion, I know people who did it and ended up in a depression. YTou should face your father and tell him after all you are grown up to do what you want.  

Answer 6

I don't think you should, especially if the only reason you want to is because he's half black.

Answer 8

well your 17 which isn't to bad ( ive had 12 year old friends come to me asking for mony so they could by a morning after)

personally i wouldn't have an abortion but my father would literally kill me

why dont you tell your mum about it asd see how she responds

if your father doesn't want you to keep the child give it for addoption

having a half race child souldn't be a problem but some people are really picky about it becaseu its the way they have been raised

if you want an abortion do it quikly before the 8 week becasue after that the baby can feel pain and it would really be like killing someone

if your deperate you caould move out or ask the father ( of the child) for suport

Answer 9

its not about you or your dad, its about the baby.  can you give the baby a good life and always treat it as though it wasn't an accident?

if not you probably should abort it.

Answer 10

Having a mixed race baby doesn't seem like a good reason to abort your child.

I'm seventeen as well, and I don't really know where I sit on the abortion debate. At seventeen years old you should be mature enough to plan your own future. You aren't a child anymore. Look at becoming financially independant. If you're able to work as an office junior or something then you'll be able to live on your own. That way your dad doesn't really have any control over you. You can always call a support group like the Salvation Army (or your countries equivalent of the Salvation Army), and they can help you get on your feet. If you have any friend's or family who can help you, then you should get into contact with them.  

Answer 11

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT HAVE AN ABORTION

sorry bout the caps i really need you to no that sentence.

dont abort your baby cause its half black your father is racist but killing someone is murder even if its legal in the abortion way..

tell your father the truth, i hope he understands

god bless and good luck

Answer 12

It's your choice, you need to decide if you think you are ready for a baby and can provide for it etc. or if you would rather have an abortion.

Just being scared of your father's racist reaction I don't think is a good reason to have an abortion, unless you really do fear he will murder you, in which case abortion or not you need to get away from him!

Good luck.

Answer 13

Adults have a way of getting over their race-hatred when a cute little baby whom is half that race enters their family. Nobody should hold anything against an innocent infant for any reason. My dad is moderately racist, my daughter is half south african and my whole family absolutely adores her.

Answer 14

Nobody but you can make the choice. Yes, people can advize you, sway your decision, point out the pro's and con's, but at the end of the day, it's your decision. This is your body, your baby, your life.

I think you need to take a good look at your life. Do you have the time and finances to support a baby, toddler and child emotionaly and physically? Do you have a good job with money to suffice? Do you have room in your home/apartment? Do you have a suport network? Be it good, strong friends that you know WILL stick by you at 3.00am when your lacking of sleep rocking the baby hoping that he/she will go to sleep?

If you think you can handle this, then by all means go ahead, keep the baby, settle down and say goodbye to a social life for teh next 18 years.

But, you're young, you have so much to look forward to. You're not even out of highschool yet! You haven't experienced life! There's so much left for you to do.

Talk to people and REALLY think this through. Whatever you do, this will change your life forever.

If you do have an abortion, remember, time heals.

Good luck, make the right choice for YOU, nobody else.

***Oh, and to ALL those people who are going to tell you you're a murderer, blah blah. That's ****. How about you try doing it, huh? It's one of the hardest decisions a woman can make. The last thing ANY of the people effected need is this emotional bullshit. It's hard enough as it is. Mmmkay?

Answer 15

don't have an abortion if you don't want your baby because of what your Dad will think then give it up for adoption there are so many women out there who cant have kids. and if you want your baby then keep your almost 18 and dad is just being a dumba** babies are wonderful no matter what race they are if you want your baby then you have your baby your dad will get over it if not then s***w him. my dad and my grandparents are the same way they are just  being ignorant.

Answer 16

My initial reaction when I read your quesiton was "Abort!" - but after seeing you're dad will flip because it's half black, keep it!!!!!!!

Really, don't let anyone else influence this, even your hard *** dad, what's he going to do, spank you while you breast feed?  If it's in your interest to keep it (In most cases 17 is way to young and immature to be having a child) then do so, if you don't feel this will benefit your life or you will not be able to care for it properly, drop it like it's hot! Personally, if you're scared of what your dad thinks, your probably not ready for a kid........  

Answer 17

No keep the baby I chose not to have children when I was your age now I'm taking care of somebody else's kid and man it means the world to me it truly does. If you choose not it could get very lonely and very boring so I suggest that you should have the baby.

Answer 18

NO!...It's killing a little BABY! it Cruel and uncanny in so many ways! It's just wrong...tell your dad and he will understand after his shock...he'll be a huge help! Also you could put the child up for adoption(open:you can see the kid)

(closed: you can't see the kid)

here are some site that might help you......

Answer 19

because it is mixed race? I would think he would be more concerned about the fact that you are clearly waaay to immature to have a baby!!!....no i am not against teen pregnancy i had my first at 16 and my second at 19 and am a very good mother....but your question is stupid!!!.."kill" you is an exaggeration and to actualy consider "killing" your baby because of what your dad would think is disgusting.......maybe you should have thought about the consequences before having un protected s*x!!!.

If your dad is racist that's his problem not yours.....if you do decide to grow up and keep this baby he would love it no matter what i'm sure!

Answer 20

You should tell your dad I know it'll be hard and really stressful, but you'll thank yourself in the long run for making the decision to keep your baby and be truthful with your dad, my sister is white and has 3 beautiful black babies my dad didn't approve at the time, but he loves those kids to death and he got over it when he saw them for the first time=) and when you start feeling that baby kick, you'll love it!

Answer 21

Only you will know if an abortion is right for you. If your family and boyfriend support you, you could have the baby and keep it or give it up for adoption. If your family and boyfriend do not support you, get an abortion. If you aren't ready to go through pregnancy, get an abortion.

Sweetie.. if you love the Father of your baby, then you will stand up for your child.. you where the one opening your legs out there now you gotta pay the price!! if you didn't want to get pregnant then you would've used protection!! this is what i hate to hear women killing their own children.. from the moment the baby is a little dot, he has life  2 weeks 3 weeks in your pregnancy it's life! don't kill your baby. give it up for adoption if you don't want it.. but please don't abort it!  think twice!

Answer 23

I also have people in my family who have "racial issues"  and with my experience, he will come around.  I know you have probably heard him say that he would never accept a "black grandchild"  but here's a story that might help you,,,My ex-best friend's mom was like this, and needless to say, my best friend got pregnant by a black guy, and she told her mom, her mom was going to force her to abort the baby, took her to the place and everything, her mom ran in crying, and told her to get back in the car,,,,they went home.  My best friend ran off and abandoned her child, and now the same grandmother that "hates blacks" raises her granddaughter, and loves her more than anything in this world.

Answer 24

hey don't ruin your life at 17 with a baby that's going to cause a whole load of problems with your family , ruin your body and cost a whole lot of money to raise

ignore the pro lifers on here , its not them who will have to go through the pregnancy , labor and birth then raise and pay for the kid.

if your only a few weeks along its just a ball or cells not a baby , it doesn't feel or know anything . have the abortion which would be like having a heavy period and all this stress will be over

plus you don't want to be tied to this guy for the rest of your life.

Answer 25

You are in a very difficult situation. The fact that he will be half black is irrelevant. The fact that you are worried that your dad is going to kill you because the baby is half black scares me. Is your mom in the picture? Talk to her or an aunt or a school counselor. I am not going to judge you, but I personally believe that abortion is wrong. It is not the baby's fault that he/she is being born. It is an innocent child that has a right to be alive just as you or your dad. You need to talk to either your mom and dad. You may be surprised that after he gets over his initial anger, he will eventually love the child. After all it will be his grandchild. You also have the option of giving the baby for adoption. There are millions of people that cannot have babies that would love to have yours. Good luck and God bless.  

Answer 26

Just because the baby is half black does not mean it should die. You should've thought about this before you went and laid down with anyone! even a black person! ... So give the baby to me..  i'll take care of it! :-D

but seriously, you can always just have it and give it up for adoption, there are plenty of people who would love to have a baby in their family..  

Answer 27

IT'S CALLED TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS. WHY WOULD YOU KILL YOUR CHILD BECAUSE YOU WANTED NOTHING MORE THAN TO HAVE s*x???? GUESS WHAT IF YOUR DAD KILLS YOU BECAUSE THE BABY IS HALF BLACK, THEN GET OVER IT, THIS IS WHY BABIES DON'T HAVE BABIES...BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT MATURE ENOUGH TO MAKE YOUR OWN ADULT DECISIONS...NO I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD GET AN ABORTION...I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE THAT LUXURY.

Answer 28

just tell him the truth,your dad will probably find out even if you have an abortion it is upto you if you want to keep the baby or not i had my daughter when i was 17 you really grow up with a baby anyway just dont let people pressure you into anything it has to be upto you

Answer 29

Don't have an abortion beacuse of what someone else will think.  If your father has racist ideas, I'm sure they will quickly be rethought when he realises his son will be from mixed origins.  It may even help him to adjust his bigotted ways.  Ask yourslef will you be able to cope with the baby/abortion.  Do you want it?  Are you ready for it? Don't rush your decision.

Answer 30

Yeas u probalby should have aborton, I live in Neuighborhood with many Black Babie and they grow up to thuggs?? dont have a black babie

Answer 31

Hold up...Being half black is not a good reason to abort..your Racist Dad needs to get over it! He needs a reality check and I think u do to if u think that is a good reason to abort. Make the right choice!
