I've been reading posts on here, and some are young expecting mothers asking for support, where others are teens who have decided to abort the baby.

either way, they get shot down.

so which is the better choice? Going down the harder lower-class possibly welfare client, but keeping the kid?

or aborting it and getting a handle on life until your REALLY ready to have one?

Adoption is there i guess- the orphanages are just jam packed with kids who need homes and loving parents... it seems so cruel to add to that.

I would keep the kid. Well, if not keep the kid, go for adoption. I would NEVER abort.

i say keep it everyone deserves to live
 I am a 19yr old single mother of a 3yr old lil boy. I had my son at 16 and yes life is hard BUT I WOULD NEVER CHOOSE ABORTION OVER A CHILD!!!!!! IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO GROWN-UP THINGS THEN HANDLE THE CONSEQENCES.

There is no right or wrong decision, there is no 'better' way to go about it. It's all down the woman's personal choice and what they feel is better for them.

The problem with LW is that people are too quick to judge, the majority suffer because of the minority.

Notice how they're shot down by different people.

I don't ever dismiss someone who has admitted to getting an abortion. I do, however, warn young women who have plans to keep the baby as to the realities of their choices.

I'd keep my baby without a doubt in my mind. We would struggle, but then again, I have a great family, and they would always help me. Plus, my boyfriend would do everything in his power to make sure he could support his child. He is a good man. On top of that. I'm a very ambition person. No matter how much longer it may take me to get where I want, I'll get there! =D

Young mothers on here I feel are scared because its their first child or second but I think they should have been prepared for the consequences having sex comes with and second I think they should be happy that they are having a baby or even got pregnant because there are girls like me who can't even become pregnant who have infertility and have to deal with it everyday and condoms are not 100%

how about using a condom? Thats what they should have done.
Silly child, they aren't 100% effective.

 

 I believe if you cant take care of a kid, then you shouldnt be having sex. I know others dont believe that, but if you cant take care of one, then take yourself out of any chance to have one


That's all dandy but people can use as much protection as possible and still form that pesky little zygote. Your original comment made it seem as though it wasn't so and all people who got pregnant became so through not using protection.

I know  where your coming from, but I know that a lot of teen preg. happen from NOT using any protection, whether this girl did or didnt, I dont know.

Keeping the baby. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I aborted.

The parents don't decide the fate the child, he or she has the right to choose live or not live.

 Abortion is evil why does the kid have to pay the price, when the teen parents are the people that screw up WTF
