Abortion will cause as many problems as the unwanted baby , how will you feel on the babys first birthday?

Answered:
Why the f*** would you have unprotected sex? Chances are , you will get pregnant. If you do, no ones gonna be like "it's okay" , people are going to think you're stupid. Oh & having sex without being married is against god .

How cute. An anti-abortionist has to either A) abort the baby and look heartless in your own eyes, or B) keep it and look like a sl*t to the rest of the world. My advice is to kill it. You don't become conscious until you are 1 anyway, you are basically killing a husk if a thing.

Around one in three women will have an abortion at some point during their fertile lives. There are a lot of women against it who find themselves later getting one. It is nothing to be ashamed about and you should not take any notice of people with extreme ideas and stories trying to scare you and influence your decision.

Lots of women who have abortions do not regret their decisions. It doesn't mean it's an easy choice or something to be proud of but for some people it is the best solution and there is no point looking back with regret. I have had one and I know it was for the best.

Adoption is another possibility but has just as much potential if not more to cause pain. There is the chance you will become attatched to the baby during pregnancy. There is the heartache of handing the baby over and there is the fact that you will always be thinking about him or her every day for the rest of your life, wondering what kind of a life they are having. It causes a huge amount of pain and is something which seems to just be made worse once you do decide to have your own family.

On top of that the child has a strong chance of having issues due to being 'abandoned'. I know it is not like that but that is how the child often sees it.

I have seen both sides and can say that if having a baby is not an option, I would choose abortion. I know lots of people would hate me for saying that and I will get lots of thumbs down.

Why are you against abortions? Not being a smart@ss, I think it might help you to really lay it all out, here.

Who is the idiot who said having an abortion causes as many issues as having an unwanted child?Whoever you are – unless you have had both an abortion AND an unwanted child, you do not know what you're talking about, and needn't confuse/frighten/upset/guilt trip this young woman.

Honey. . . it's not the end of the world.No one *wants* to get an abortion, no one *plans* to, no one, like, relishes the thought of it. . . it's a mistake-fixer.You and your boyfriend made a mistake – you're human – and there is no reason for you to pay for that mistake for the rest of your life.

An abortion iss a relatively short proceedure.. you go in.You take a pain killer.You strip down, set up in the stirrups, and. . . the doctor performs the abortion.It feels like something scraping your insides, it's uncomfortable, but not much worse than a bad period.Afterwards, you have bleeding, some cramping, and you are not to put anything inside your vagina for two weeks.

I've had one.Ten years later, it is still clear to me I made the right choice, and while I would have preferred that it wasn't necessary. . . I do not feel any guilt.I do not hate myself over it.I look at my family, and I think "this is how it was supposed to be".If I had gone ahead with that pregnancy, I most likely would not be married, would not have this job, and would not have these children.I am very glad I made the right choice for me.

But if you're not pregnant, all this is moot.I hope you aren't, but please – don't let yourself be convinced that havoing an abortion is somehow harder or as hard or even close to as hard as having a baby at 17.It's a way out, Honey, and having one does NOT make you a bad person, or a *murderer*.It makes you a human being capable of recognizingh and correcting a mistake.That's it.

Good luck, Honey, and in the future – get yourself on the pill.
