I have some news...
I am pregnant. I found out just one hour ago. I... don't know what the hell I'm gonna do. The guy I did it with won't even talk to me, I tried to explain it to him over the phone, but he just hung up. I am shit scared...
No, I kid ya. xD I'm not pregnant.
But! I do have some thoughts.
If this actually happened to me, that I fooled around with some dude, and let's say he poked a hole in the rubber and I got pregnant... Should I be allowed to take abortion?
Are you for or against abortion?
I, personally, am for abortion. I think this is an option that should be available. Some people who are against it says it's a violation of human life, which I can understand, but I still don't support it. Abortion should be optional, it's should be a woman's choice if she want to do this or not (not that this should be turned into a new sort of "protection", but in cases where it's needed).
What's your opinion on this?
In any case, I support whatever decision you choose to make.
I just don't want a baby, I could probably bring one up ok and scrape by with money, but I just plain don't want one.
To me, it's not even alive yet! If you look at it from the point of view that it's a chance of life, so it is a life. Then every time a guy masturbates and a girl has a period they are having an abortion XD
In the end...no matter a woman's choice, there are long term effects. To raise a child is HARD. It's a lot of work. To give one up for adoption can be something that is regretted later on down the road, by the mother, or the child, or both. To abort the pregnancy can have medical complications for the mother as well, including rare cases of infertility or death to the mother, or a higher risk of miscarriages if she decides to have children later. However, raising a child is also rewarding if you are ready to put in the work, giving a child to a loving adoptive family can complete that family and give the child a good life, as well as giving the mother a clear conscience if she is one who might feel deep regret or self hatred after aborting, and abortion is something that many women choose because they can not go through with the pregnancy for many personal, mental, and emotional reasons. There's a lot more to each choice than that, too, and each woman should be given all the information she needs to make her choice for herself.
Of course, the better starting point is a proper education in prevention, and methods of prevention, as well as easier access to preventative 'measures' regardless of age or income, before it ever becomes an issue. And not just education from schools or public programs, but parents, instead of the total avoidance of the subject that so many choose instead, or the thought that the schools do a good enough job of covering that side of education for children and teens. Since schools simply don't in most cases, instead going for the 'abstinence only' route.
But I'd definitely hate the idea of being an "unwanted" child. I'd rather die.
So, for me, abortion is a better choice, than having a baby you're not gonna love, or that's gonna ruin your life (and realize it sooner or later).
Killing is horrible, but now, killing a person's soul and will to live...
