Why do people think/have abortions?

Question

don't they think that child deserves to have a chance to live? If they can't afford it or if they don't want it they can put it up for adoption. I just don't see how some people can be so heartless about this. It's not their fault that their parents weren't smart enough to use protection,it's not their fault that their mother was raped (if that happend), it's not their fault, then why punish the kid for something you or someone else did? Seriously people think about this, if you had an abortion,and if you had kids after it and if they found out you had an abortion, don't you think this will go into their head "what if that was me,she woule have killed me, she don't love me". do you ever think about that? i'm sorry, but i'm just being honest and really wondering why people think it's the best thing to do. NO, if you don't want kids the best thing to do is to get your tubes tide b4 you have unprotected s*x or if your waiting to have kids then don't have s*x at all. agree?

Answer 1

I think by 12 weeks it is a little more than just a clump of cells, but certainly it is not capable of living outside of the womb. I am pro choice, but the earlier the better. A lot of women seeking abortion are not careless, contraception often fails.

And i just to let yall know ahead im NOT trying to tell yall how to live yall life Im just giving my opinion about this.







I totally agree with you on this. Teens who want to have s*x then get an abortion are just plain STUPID! Then they wanna blame everybody 4 they mistakes but they dont hvae anyone to blame but they self. If you knw that you aint ready for a child then either DONT HAVE s*x or USE A CONDOM!!!
But how ever I kind of think its a different story if the Teen was rapped ya know, but if you just having s*x just to be having s*x then you should not do it or just put on a freaking condom I mean how hard is that? And what I'm saying is not telling people how to live there life im just saying rap it up if you dont want kids because thats just a waist of time and money getting an abortion knowing that you can just go to the store and buy so condoms or just not have s*x AT ALL!


Like me im only 14 years old and I know the consequences of having a baby but if i was to have s*x I would keep my baby but just give it away to a family who cant have kids at all or I would just keep it ya know?! Yall are just so lucky because there are married couples out there who want children but they cant have any because of..... "what" ever and yall have the chance of helping them by giving them yall's baby. But NOOOO yall just wanna be so selfish and get an abortion.


And like I said b4 im not trying to tell yall how to live yall life im just stating my opinion... so ya.. thats all.

I think you are all looking at this from the point of the unborn child.  I was 21 when I had an abortion, in fact I actually had an abortion on my 21st birthday.  It is not something I am proud of but why continue with the pregnancy if you are not happy!
When I found out I was pregnant I didn't even know what to think, I was certanly shocked because from the age of 16 years I took the contraceptive pill.  I worked out that I got pregnant because I was taking antibotics which made the pill ineffective.
I was in a relationship but the guy that I was with did not want to have children.  I asked him the same night that i found out that I was pregnant for his opinion on what he would do if I ever became pregnant.  He replied that he would smack me in the tummy so that i would have a misscarriage.  From then i knew that I couldn't tell him.  I was in the middle of a law degree at university and i didn't have alot of money, i couldn't raise this child on my own.
I went the following day to have an abortion, i was only 3 weeks pregnant so they couldn't find anything on the scan.  therefore they couldn't give me the abortion pills and i had to wait.  I didn't tell no-one, not even my boyfriend, i was scared.
However as i had to wait until the pregnancy showed up on the scan i thought about it even more, it was driving me insane, i couldn't sleep and i was constantly rowing with my boyfriend.  he didn't understand why i was so moody and what was going on inside my head.
3 weeks later they found a yolk sack on the scane and on the same day i had the abortion pills.  i have to say this was the worst day of my life.  i had no-one, no-one to talk to, and i just felt sick with guilt.
The following week i went to the doctors and was prescribed with anti-depressants.

I have to say that having an abortion was the most difficult thing i have ever had to do.  I still think about it and i imagine what my child would have looked like.  It really frustrates me when people make out that having an abortion is easy.  at the end of the day it is our life too and it is unfair to just think about what is best for the child.  I believe that life does not begin until there is a heart beat.  I had an abortion before there was a heart beat, and so my group of cells were not living.  i did not murder anyone.

it is the decision of the pregnant woman whether she continues with the pregnancy!!!
