I was talking to one of my sexually active friends one day and she said that if she ever got pregnant, she would get an abortion right away. I asked her why wouldn't you want to keep your baby or give the baby up for adoption. She said that she doesn't want to keep the baby because she doesn't have time to be a parent and she wants to go to college and be a free teen girl. Then she said that she would not consider adoption but consider abortion because why go through long painful hours of labor and give the baby away after all of that pushing. I thought that comment was horrible but who am I to tell her what to do with her body? She said that if she got pregnant she'd get an abortion and she go on with her life and keep having sex and she will probably get pregnant again. She told me if she does, she will get another abortion and only keep the baby if she was 20.
I told her if she keeps having sex, gets pregnant, and get abortion swhile under 20, when she actually is ready for a baby, she will not have one due to all of those abortions she will have had. She is a very emotional person and I can't imagine her getting plenty of abortions and going to the cluc afterwards. She will probably go into a deep depression. She is so worried about getting pregnant and all she was to do is become abstinent. She wears an absitinence ring but what good is that for?
There are so many misguided teens that do things such as having sex when they are not emotionally ready for it and itz consequences. Birth control is about 99% effective but she could be that 1% that gets pregnant or gets something worse like an STD. Also her partner might have an STD and he hasn't gotten tested yet but she's still with him but that's another story.
This blog isn't really about abortion is really about being a teen and doing things that you aren't ready for meaning that you can't deal with the consequences. Tell me what you think about teens like my friend and about this blog.

My sister is a jr. in high school and 2 of her friends are dating. They are now pregnant because they didn't use protection. It was the girl's first time having sex. They are keeping the baby but I don't know how they are going to be able to take care of it. If you are going to have sex, be careful and smart about it.
If you don't support our troops, please feel free to stand in front of them.

If a teen gets pregnant in the woods does anyone hear her cry?

For teens these days there is no such thing as emotion or at least not with sex. They just dont think of it as an emotional thing. In my small high school of 70 people 4 have gotten pregnant in the last 2 years. Granted one actually has a better life now that she has a kid but I dunno if the other ones will be ok. Another one who is 5 months pregnant gets treated like crap from her boyfriend. One day he wants the baby the next he doesnt and tells her shes worthless. It's horrible. If you are going to be sexually active make sure you use protection and make sure you are able to handle the consequences.
Doesnt even change what they think. It's hard to get through teens head about consequences about being pregnant. And that about abortion, might actually be ok, but thats my opinion, the reason for that is cuz if they keep the kid, it might create huge problems and the kid would feel neglected through out life, if they give it for adoption the kid might also feel neglected. But who knows how other people feel...its up to them, but they should really think about the consequences =/

I think its easy for a lot of girls/women to make snap judgments about getting an abortion, especially until they are faced with actual circumstances surrounding it. Your friend can easily tell you she would get an abortion now, but I personally don't believe that she would necessarily make the same decision if she actually did get pregnant.
I am personally against abortion, but who am I to say what I would do if I got pregnant? I have never been in that situation and who knows if I would make the decision to keep the baby or give it up for adoption if I actually became pregnant?
I told her if she keeps having sex, gets pregnant, and get abortion swhile under 20, when she actually is ready for a baby, she will not have one due to all of those abortions she will have had.
Congratulations, you told a big, fat lie. Abortion doesn't harm a woman's ability to become pregnant again.
She is so worried about getting pregnant and all she was to do is become abstinent.
Or use birth control.

Doing things you're not sure you're ready for is what being a teenager is all about, which is why abstinence campaigns have been such a disaster. Teenagers have sex. It's normal. Teenagers need to know how to protect themselves the same as adults.
If your friend is not using birth control, she should. She should also go to a clinic and get an STD screening. If she doesn't want to go alone, go with her. Most STDs are treatable, and it's best to treat them as early as possible, before they can do any lasting damage.
I did not lie to her. Too many abortions result in miscarriages and its very hard to get pregnant at all after having many abortions. I know so many women that cant get pregnant at all and when they do get pregnant they miscarry because they had lots of abortions before. Teens having sex was once very rare it wasn't normal but now because they do so often, it has become normal. People weren't having sex until they were married. I am not here to argue. I am here to inform
People have been having premarital sex as early as the Romans that I know of, and I'm sure they did before that as well. Having an abortion does not affect one's fertility. I have a very hard time believing that you know so many women that have all had so many abortions and now can't get pregnant since you are a teen and because this seems very unrealistic. There's a big difference between informing and making stuff up as you go.
I love abortion. Read more here:

And way to call it, Leslie. I'm a thirty-something liberal, and I only know two people who have had abortions. Out of decades of fertility...two people. When I was a teenager...big fat 0.

The problem is.... teens these days don't care about the future... they don't plan, and don't think about the consequences of their actions....
they don't look before the leap bc we always think "it won't happen to me"
and i had a friend just like urs... and yeah, she had some psychological problems and got into drugs and stuff... besides she might already have really low self-esteem if she is having sex often with different ppl... just keep and eye on her and be there for her when she needs u or when u think she needs u.
The moral complictions of abortion in any case (rape, teenagers, teen rape, disabled children, etc.) can be summed up in one question; What is it?
Greg Koukl says, "If a fetus is NOT a human person, no justification is necassary. If a fetus IS a human person, no justification is adequate."
"Happiness only real when shared".
Unfortunately, your friend only thinks of the present. She does not think ahead, like you said, if she would no longer be able to bare children. Maybe if she met someone in that situation who can no longer have children tell her their story, she might rethink what she is doing. Most people are ignorent due to lack of knowledge.
