S/O Unpopular Opinions Abortion Clicky

Re: S/O Unpopular Opinions Abortion Clicky

  • I would never have one now, but I probably would have if I had gotten pregnant at, say, 19. But I don't know, because thankfully, I was never in that position.

    Ditto. Had I gotten pregnant really young, I probably would've seriously considered abortion, but I would never have one now. Unless I was raped. I probably would then, but I don't know.

  • Honestly, this is probably the biggest reason I waited to have sex until I was married. I knew I would never be able to have an abortion and that was the only way to keep myself from getting into the position of having to make a choice I knew I couldn't make.

  • For me, I could only consider abortion if the pregnancy was due to rape. Even when I was young, just being young and stupid wasn't a good enough reason.

  • So I sometimes see mom's who have had 3-4 therapeutic abortions.  Before my miscarriage I didn't understand how someone could repeatedly have a procedure to end a pregnancy from the pain perspective.  After my D&C I realized if a mother is not attached to the child emotionally it's not a very traumatic procedure and it's about as painful as a bad period.

    All of this.

  • I would never have one! I got pregnant with Lily when I was 19 and had her when I was 20. I knew it was going to be hard to take on such a big responsibility, but that's exactly what I did-took care of my responsibility. I wouldn't change anything. I have seen many patients at work give their babies up for adoption, rather than aborting the pregnancy and commend them for being strong enough to do that. I would rather see more patients give their babies up for adoption, rather than abort, but that's just my opinion!

  • I am very pro choice and strongly believe that women have the right to choose.  I was never in that position (thankfully), but it would be an option that I probably would have seriously considered.  However, what my choice would have been I do not know.  I personally would like to see the money that goes into pro life campaigns be put into educational community programs for at risk youth, teens and families.  Abortion unfortunately is a sad outcome to bigger societal problems.

    Ditto.  In fact, I'm pretty sure that I would have.

    Same with me.

    I was raped when I was 18 and had an abortion.  I don't regret it at all.  I haven't told anyone except a therapist.  Not even DH.
