if you/your girlfriend got pregnant now, what would you do?

[Paige.]

i've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for over a year now and i know i'd get support from him and his family and also my nan but i'm not sure whether my mum would support me because she has already said that if i came to her saying i'm pregnant she's marching me straight up the clinic...
i'm not ready to have any children, i feel too young and i want to get through my education and be financially stable in a good job and also in my own home before i have any so i think i'd have to abort it even though the thought of it is horrible

[Jssy]

unlikely in my situation but if i was id keep it. id prefer to get through uni first tho

You're not really supporting her through 'whatever decision' she chooses at all - though there's only really adoption, keeping it or aborting it.

In regards to the topic - I wouldn't want to get pregnant this early and use measures to avoid that happening, but if I were to become pregnant it would totally depend on my partner and our situation.

As I have no partner at this moment, if I were to get pregnant I would probably abort it.

Sorry, I probably didn't word it properly, as you're correct. It really wouldn't be any decision. ""

i am completely against abortion unless the mother/child is in danger really... regardless of my age i wouldn't get an abortion so i would keep it even if i were to get pregnant now. i would regret later in life if i did have an abortion for sure and i don't believe in the 'your life is over if you have a baby so young' crap. financially i wouldn't be brilliant but idc rly

This exactly.

If you have sex then you should take responsibility and not end a life for your own selfish reasons.

Don't want to take the risk to begin with? Then don't have sex.

This is a really closed minded view as sex is a completely natural thing and science has come so far in protecting us - it really shouldn't be suppressed but cba arguing about that so....

What about if someone got pregnant as the result of rape

I'm sure if Dan will feel the same as I do on this too, but I would say that falls into the same category as if the mother/baby was in danger, so I believe that the mother is entitled to abort if she wishes

So there's a human right to stick your penis anywhere and not think about the possible consequences? Are humans not above the level of an animal? Are we not blessed with superior brains and the ability to control oneself?

As I said, it's entirely selfish. 'I want sex and to hell with the consequences. If it feels good then do it'.

Most pregnancies can be stopped within 24 or 48 hours from what I recall, for those however who can't stop the pregnancy after that time has passed for whatever reason: as horrid as rape is, I can't blame the unborn child for what has happened.

You don't know you're pregnant 24 hours after, and morning after pills aren't 100% effective. I cannot imagine having a child after being raped and having to look at that child every day knowing the pain and suffering, physical and mental, you went through to bring them into the world. That child would always know it wasn't wanted, wasn't planned.

End of the day it's each individual's decision and as long as you're not trying to force a decision on decision on someone else I couldn't care less about what you'd think,

I think the world will thank god that you're gay.

God forbid a child would be influenced by your opinions/thoughts.

Rape I can see the arguments for more clearly, but it always amazes me how an argument about abortion always turns to the very very very small percentage of abortions that are rape-related. Talking generally about abortion, I don't believe you should be able to get abortions on-demand and that if you don't want the risk of pregnancy: then refrain from sexual intercourse.

It's pretty simple.

Yeah I think you've said that before, heard it all before. I know i'm the worst person in the world because I don't believe in abortion and think people should control themselves sexually. :rolleyes:

Why didn't you have the balls to say that to Sharon though, who also doesn't believe in abortion? Coward.
