While reading an article about abortion online somewhere, I came to the conclusion: I agree very much with abortion. If you are raped, you know will not be able to take care of it, or you are over the age of 45 then please get an abortion. I would rather you kill the fetus then bring a child into this world with a mother who only had you because she was forced to have sex with a fucking bastard. I also wouldn't want a child come into this world not being able to have a healthy family right away. Adoptions take a long time as it is. The child would be put into a foster home and then who knows... (I do not know all of the facts to adoption, please correct me if you do know the right procedure) Also, The incidence of Down syndrome rises with increasing maternal age. Meaning that if you are an older woman, it is more likely your child will end up with Down Syndrome. I personally know someone who had a child at the age of 51 and their child was born with Down Syndrome. She beats her self up every day about it.
Now that you know how I feel about why you should get an abortion, I'll tell you why I don't think you should get one. Mostly, if you are 23 years old in graduate school and go out one night. End up with a boy in your bed and 4 weeks later you find out that you pregnant. You are 23 years old, if you are that responsible not to use a condom or be on the pill then you are responsible enough to have a baby. There is a major difference between being 16 and 23 and getting pregnant.
Please give me your piece of mind about abortion. I would love to hear what you all have to say about it all.

Personally, I am not sure if I would ever have an abortion or not. Of course I hate the thought of killing my own child, but it would absolutely tear me apart knowing I would be stalled even longer in my dream of career success. My path demands total presence, and wouldn't allow time for a baby right now....which is why I use birth control and condoms.
Then again, if I were to very get pregnant when I didn't want it, I'm not sure if I could go through with it. Abortion is a terrible process. Not just for the fetus, but for the mother. It is proven that fetuses can begin feeling pain at just 8 weeks old when their thalamus is fully formed. Abortions don't give anesthesia to a fetus. I did a big research project on the different methods of abortion, and all of them are equally hideous and revolting. Especially when they don't work and a baby is born defected. Now THAT is something I wouldn't wish upon an infant.
I guess all of this is saying that I have no idea what I would do unless I was actually in that position.

I totally agree. If I was in the middle of persuing my career I would not want a baby to get in the way. That might sound totally selfish but I have been fighting for my goals for a long time and I don't plan on getting married or having a child until I get there completely. If I were to get pregnant ( I AM A VIRGIN) I would most likely have an abortion. It might be selfish and coldhearted but it's my beliefs and my goals. I promised my slef not to lets friends or boys to get in the way. So why would I let a baby get in the way? Maybe that is why I am virgin. I am to scared to get pregnant ://
Thanks for your comment :]]
Abortion is sometimes viewed as "an easy way out" but I don't think its easy at all. However, if you know you can't take care of a baby or give it a good life, its probably better to have an abortion. I agree with you on the adoption process, but i'm also not too sure. However, there are millions of orphans all over the world that need better lives. People should be adopting those children instead of waiting for their perfect little caucasian baby.
I would much rather adopt then go though the pain of having a 5 pound baby come out of my vagina and i would just as happy. personally i do not want kids at all. i was a monster when i was growing up and i know my kids will be like that. i dont thinnk i could handle it honestly.
Infantile adoption is much quicker then adopting children from the foster system, they are different entities altogether. Usually, mothers can go through an adoption agency and pick a family for her child before the baby is even born. Upon delivery, she signs the papers and the adoption is complete.

Your post leaves a lot of women out. Abortion is not just for women who have one-night-stands with no contraception, or women who are over 45 or raped. What about the 23-year-old single mother of two, who is working full-time, going to community college, and can't afford another baby? What about the married mother of three whose husband has been laid off work? What about the mentally ill woman who must choose between pregnancy and her medicine? Or the 20-year-old university student who grew up in foster care, with dreams of becoming a doctor and escaping poverty once and for all? Or the 30-year-old mother trying to escape her abusive husband, who has already forcibly impregnated her four times?
I don't believe sex should trap women in poverty, wreck our dreams, lock us in unhappy relationships or teach us a lesson. All women should be able to choose when/whether they want to become mothers, how many children they want to have, and under what circumstances they want to have them, and we should not have to give up our sexuality just to do that. We should be able to use birth control and we should be able to have safe abortions.
I mean, I agree with a few of the points you have made, but I think a few of your instances could have definitely and should have been prevented. If I am a single mother of two in community college and working full time, I don't think I would even risk having sex. Or if I would, I think I would go on birth control, use condoms, AND use suppositories to greatly diminish my risk of getting pregnant. If people KNOW they cannot support a child, they should take extra, extra precautions.....so they won't have to resort to abortion. There are other types of birth control.

I agree with some of those but they are also easily prevented
Do you believe in God and do you not know that the Lord will not put a spirit into a child until before it is to be born . Because the Lord know who will have the child removed and for this cause .it protect the child. The parents of those that remove a child from the whom for no reason will be held accountable before God .for it is Evil to do such thing Amen
