Do you think that every young girl that gets withchild should have an abortion? The reason asking is becasue I see many teens having babies and everytime I talk to one of then they say that there mother tried to make them have an abortion. Now I know alot of people think that teen mothers are the wrost mothers but do you really think that they should just abort the baby because of what other people think? Please comment on this!

Why should a woman have an abortion becasue she is under 18. I know a lot of terrible mothers over 18. I don't think age makes you a good parent.

no. im not for abortion. teenage pregnancy is a result of their immaturity and they will not be helped by another immature decision.

I don't agree with abortion, but I do believe in certain circumstances it is acceptable and sometimes even necessary. A fourteen year old girl who's been raped and is now pregnant isn't going to want to have a child.. And some kids who have been raped or molested don't tell their parents in time for them to be able to take a morning after pill or something else. In which case an abortion may be necessary if they decided they didn't want to wait to give him or her up for adoption. Although I also don't think abortion's right in the sense; why punish an unborn child for something that wasn't its fault? I'm pro-life though. But if you screw up then you should suffer the consequences, not the child.

You are correct because if I was a 14 year old girl and I was raped I would not want to have that child.

I don't usually believe in abortion but in some cases it should be used, such as when a young teenage girl falls pregnant and she doesn't want to have a child because of her age and being able to raise a child, financial difficulties, religous beliefs etc.

Adopttion will be the best thing if the teen mother didnt want the child, but sometimes adoptions can turn out wrong also, so I think that birth control is the best way to prevent all this. I myself am a teen mom, I had twins which now are 5 but I had to take responsability!

people who are thinking about their image in a society regarding this issue are mad in my view.abortion should be strictly prohibitted. about whom the young mothers are worrying will never come and stand with us if there is any problem for us. so what ever decision it may either + or - make it own.

I think every woman young and more mature, who requests information should be provided with it and not have anyone try to influence their decision when it comes to this issue. These women are the ones who will live with the choice, not the mother who pushed for one choice or the other, not the right to life nor the prochoice groups. Only one person has the responsibility for her life and the potential life that is the fetus. She is the one who will live with her decision every day for the rest of her life, no matter what that decision happens to be. I am reminded of a situation where the life of the mother was threatened by pregnancy. This lady although not a young girl, had been afflicted with polio. Her body was that of a child when one looked upon her...her choice, against all advice was this... My body, my baby. Now twenty plus years later everyone is proud of a little girl who was born of a mother who was physically challenged, a mother who's body was that of a child's.

It's totally up to the mother. I am not for or against abortion because we all have the right to do what we want! Some may actually want to have the baby but have a good enough heart to give the child to someone who cannot have kids and who desperately wants kids! If the mother decides to keep the baby, then that is her choice too but she better know that her youth is being kissed goodbye which is sad! But again like I said it's her choice!

I personally donot think that teen mothers are not good mothers. Thay can do the job well like any other. But the thing is Teenage girls should ask themselves before making love with their boyfriends.They should be aware of the possible result of it. If it is an accident and they think they have done a mistake then they must go for abortion.

Abortion, an age old debate. All people feel differently and most have valid arguments to support thier beliefs. What matters is what you as an individual think Only you will have the consequences to deal with, the hurt or the happiness.

Very young girls may not be developed enough to give birth safely. An abortion is much safer for them physically. I firmly beleive if somebody is not responsable enough to handle birth control they definitely won't be responsable enough to safely take care of a child. Abortion is preferable to a life of neglect and suffering.

Abortions itself is a curse or sin...abortions are treated as the only solution for teenage pregnancies ,unwanted pregnancies ..people need to be xtra careful during love making..so that such situations can be avoided..Precaution is the only solution ..a sense of maturity and responsibility has to be instilled the minds of teenagers ..these way only the rate of abortion cases can be reduced..

No. I don't believe in abortion though. I think kids are having babies way too young these days. But I think they should either keep the baby, or find an adoptive family for them.

That in because would the free association that Plunged would a girl inside abortion. Cheated would sweet said said a man that was not responsible. And caused stupid him a woman who found it easy was very much cheated. And all could see if in the Western World that not that the taboo but has been used to it and the matter of that kind began to mushroom in the east world. The solution from all that was guarded how the holiness a honour

I don't think they should. I mean if they don't want to keep it adopt it out. There are a lot of people that can't have kids.
