Abortion

[Not-Thrilled]

There's no point in time at which you can say the baby's a human or not. People should be allowed to have an abortion at whatever time they want; it's their baby and nobody, not even "god", has the right to tell them they have to keep it. There will never be a safe stance on abortion, ever. Just debates with the same sides/arguments.

I unfourtunatly have experienced this first hand. I had an abortion when i was 14 years old. Yes at 14 maybe i shouldnt of been sxually active but i was. it was the most differcult decision i have ever made and its teared me up inside but i really had no choice. At the time i was looking after my 3 younger siblings most of the time, i knew id be bringing the child into an unhappy family and they would most proberly suffer. Also the father was threatning to kick it out of me. I did think about having it and putting it up for adoption but i felt that that would be even harder. I don't think i would be able to let go of the child once i had carried it for 9 months and gone through labour. My baby was never born to die but in those 2 months i did bond with the thought of the child. I seriously regret having an abortion, i think if i knew how badly it would destroy me or if i knew that i would soon be living with my uncle and auntie or that my baby sister would die then i would have the baby. But the circumstances i was in at the time i thought it was the best thing to do... Anyway heres a poem i wrote about it, thought u may be intrested

You could have been someone
But I took your life away
It was the hardest thing I’ve had to do
But I didn’t have much say.

You could have been someone
So where r u today?
I wish I could have held you tight.
Watched u laugh and grow and play.

You could have been someone.
But nothing i do will change the fact
U can never turn back time
And bring my angel back.

You could have been someone
But your smile remains unseen
One thing I no my Love
I’d of Loved you whoever you’d been.

You could have been someone
A someone who’d of been mine
But I’m a cold-hearted *****,
You’re the helpless victim of my crime.

You could have been someone
But you were never born to die
Do u watch down from above
Are u with me while I cry?

You could have been someone
But u have no life to live
But if only I could ask u
My baby please forgive!

P.s. You may say i should have been more careful but i was on the pill, i accidently missed a couple so was using jonnys but it split. It was just pure unlucky.

Well i had the abortion on 14th Feb (Valentines day) 2004. I was 14, ive just turned 16 now.

I dont no how i feel about abortion i seriously regret doing it. I dont think it should be taken advantage of. People should use protection. But if u no the child would have an unhappy life maybe its best. I dont no. I wish i hadnt had one thou.

[RedStratocas]

I agree with it, but I think there should be rules set such as:

You cant do it more than once, because it is harmful to you, and you should have been smarter a second time

It has to be within the first few weeks of pregnancy

Teens can do it, but maybe 21+ have to actually have a reason, not that they just dont want a baby

Maybe a few others? I can understand either way why people are against and for it, but I really think religion should stay out of it completely, because religion (sorry if this offends anyone) always makes things worse in the situation

[Menshevik]

I agree with the religion thing. Anyways, if you do have an abortion, you should give the fetus to the A.I.D.S cure foundation. How to save millions of lives by taking one.

We're doing this in R.E.

I think it's kind of stupid to learn about it now, Year 11 or 12 would be more ideal because students are more mature about it.

And i got sent out for saying it's stupid to learn about now rofl.

[jstar953]

oops i think i dug it up .. lol

i agree with most of your points .. but if it was a mistake i do believe they should have been more careful

[ReInfected]

Yes! it is. Atleast if u didnt want the baby atleast let it born then give it to an adoption. Dont kill the poor thing! gawd u ppl are crazy!!

Sometimes its very ahrd to avoid. No contraception is 100% baby proof.
