-- Posted by mingogo4 at 9:12 am on June 28, 2008 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. -- Posted by Sunshine Buddy at 9:13 am on June 28, 2008 Keeping the kid is way better than abortion. -- Posted by xoxo1234 at 9:13 am on June 28, 2008 On LiveWire, you'd probably get more shot down for having the kid. It's pretty equal though. Personally, I respect the woman's right to choose and most of the time I also respect her decision, if it's educated and well thought out. -- Posted by Vana at 9:14 am on June 28, 2008 how about using a condom? Thats what they should have done. -- Posted by MyWorstEnemy at 9:14 am on June 28, 2008 Quote: from Sunshine Buddy at 9:13 am on June 28, 2008 Keeping the kid is way better than abortion. Not if your not gonna do the right thing. -- Posted by La Motta at 9:15 am on June 28, 2008 It i up to the woman. It's her body and her life, her choice. -- Posted by MiNNiCK at 9:16 am on June 28, 2008 If a teen mom REALLY thinks she's prepared to take on the responsibility of caring for a child, then keep it. If she's not, abort it. -- Posted by gothgal at 9:17 am on June 28, 2008 I'm keeping mine -- Posted by Smargon at 9:21 am on June 28, 2008 Personally, I'd rather have an abortion. Some girls just aren't mentally ready to bring up a child and I think it's wrong to make the kid suffer because of it. Plus, I want to get the most out of my life before settling down with kids. Although, those who do choose to keep it and bring it up properly, I have a lot of respect for them. -- Posted by lunatone x0ox at 9:30 am on June 28, 2008 I highly respect any teenage mom that can stand up & say "Yes, I screwed up, but now I'm having a beautiful baby." ... I am pro-life. -- Posted by alastrxxna at 9:33 am on June 28, 2008 give it up for adoption. saving a life by not killng it, and giving it a better life all together. -- Posted by iinsurgent at 9:34 am on June 28, 2008 Quote: from Vana at 9:14 am on June 28, 2008 how about using a condom?

I know others dont believe that, but if you cant take care of one, then take yourself out of any chance to have one -- Posted by RainBowBow at 4:29 pm on June 28, 2008 Don't kill the baby they deserve to live -- Posted by iinsurgent at 6:14 pm on June 28, 2008 Quote: from Vana at 11:58 am on June 28, 2008 Quote: from iinsurgent at 11:34 am on June 28, 2008 Quote: from Vana at 9:14 am on June 28, 2008 how about using a condom?

Your original comment made it seem as though it wasn't so and all people who got pregnant became so through not using protection. -- Posted by swtpie at 6:46 pm on June 28, 2008 Keeping the baby. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I aborted. -- Posted by Vana at 6:54 pm on June 28, 2008 Quote: from iinsurgent at 8:14 pm on June 28, 2008 Quote: from Vana at 11:58 am on June 28, 2008 Quote: from iinsurgent at 11:34 am on June 28, 2008 Quote: from Vana at 9:14 am on June 28, 2008 how about using a condom?

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. -- Posted by ajakana at 11:10 pm on July 4, 2008 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% -- Posted by swtpie at 6:06 am on July 5, 2008 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 -- Posted by Glow Worm at 10:52 pm on July 5, 2008 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. -- Posted by carbonara at 3:19 am on July 6, 2008 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. -- Posted by SexyDiva19 at 6:51 pm on July 6, 2008 Quote: from emowhore at 9:36 am on June 28, 2008 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. -- Posted by jessica20110 at 7:29 pm on July 6, 2008 I would keep the kid. Well, if not keep the kid, go for adoption. I would NEVER abort.
