Abortion or not

Lol, here I was, all set to rant on about my views on abortion... and then you bring up a totally different subject.

First, I am against abortion... but that is a really long rant that I won't go into here, since that isn't the question. Second, though I am against it, I am also pro-choice. Whether I think it's right or not is irrelevant, because in the end whether they keep the baby, put it up for adoption, or abort it is up to the person who is pregnant and no one else. They have to take a step back and look at their views, their values and their conscience to figure out what is the best option for them. So if someone chooses abortion, it is their choice and I won't hold it against them.

Still, I firmly believe in standing up and taking credit for your actions. Abortion, while a valid option, should not be used simply as a way of avoiding parental punnishments. If you're old enough to get pregnant, you should be old enough to realise the possible consequences of your actions and deal with them responsibly if and when they happen. This includes telling your parents when an accident happens so they can help you deal with it accordingly. This also includes knowing the risks involved in surgeries such as abortions (though I also believe a nurse or doctor should have warned her about them).

She should have known that there was a risk of infection, known that the infection could cause her to die, and realised that her parents possibly punnishing her would be a small price to pay for a hospital trip that would have saved her life.

Okay what is so odd here is that she refused to get help. It would have been better if she had just told her parents. Mine didn't agree with it at first, but some rebutal is normal and they will eventually come around to the idea. Even if you don't keep the baby there is never a need to abort unless it just come right down to it and it was done naturally through no ones fault of there own will and God done it so to speak. I'm against abortion. I'm a single mother and I had my child at age 22. I wasn't as young, but I had no clue who the father was and I didn't have a job or savings and that is what my mother was most concerned about. But through her help I have been able to raise my little girl and I don't regret it for the world. I wouldn't take back anything because she's been my world and there is no greater feeling.

I think that something went wrong with the girl's abortion. I wonder how many weeks pregnant the girl was when she had it done to her. I have heard about quite a few ladies that have died during an abortion like one called Laura Hope Smith that died whilst she had an abortion at 13 weeks pregnancy. The girl you are discussing, the 16 year old, probably had an infection brought on by her abortion. You mentioned that the doctor said the infection spread from her uterus therefore I would say the abortion after effect killed her. A lady that gives birth has a midwife and things can go wrong in childbirth. Things can also go wrong in an abortion or after an abortion. Depression is common, regret is so for many and death for a few.

Things like abortion are hard to comment on. It is a very controversial topic, but one that can typically be avoided.

Such as, where was the condom or birth control? Why hadn't their parents taught them about safe sex? It makes sense that if they were not told about safe sex, that they would not be able to confide in their parents about an accidental pregnancy or abortion, or mal effects of an infection.

In my opinion, once puberty hits, and a girl starts ovulating, it is time to have the talk. Perhaps even before then, when you talk about stranger danger.

No abortion. One must take percatuion in all respect before dragging into such suitation. human being means mistake but why to make an abortion. The day when one comes to know that she is going to have a baby child they must consult their doctor. Dr. will guide for the best solution. If ever Dr. suggest for a abortion undergo with all type of guid line of the Dr.

I am against abortions. It is said though to see some going with abortions and those who can't have kids do want them. Those who can get pregnant some time decide on abortions very sad.

wow is what i say about that. There is ovbiously more to the story than you can even express. I am against abortion anyway, but this is just another reason not to do it. That is a horribly sad thing.

First, let me just say that I'm not anti or pro abortion. I believe it's the woman's choice to keep or abort her baby. We are not in the position to judge these women because we are just like them. We get scared and confused. We make a choice and we do it. We might regret it after but that's part of life.

I must admit that I have thought of it whenever I'm having a pregnancy scare but I know in my heart that I'll never be able to do it. As for the teenage couple, they should have been more responsible to have the girl checked after the procedure was done. That could have saved her life. They already ended a baby's life, but they made it worse by letting her life end in that way.

This is a very sad story.
All I can say is hoping that she makes a right choice.

Well i feel bad for the girl first but i believe everyone should face the consequences for their own actions. she made a mistake and she tried correct it with a decision that cost her life.
