Lots of questions about teenage abortion

Discussion

Why do young women decide to have abortions? Lately, this issue caught my eye. Some people feel as if having an abortion is the best thing for them. But I know a girl who had two abortions, and she was not happy about it. I'm wondering if women get raped hesitate to speak on what happened. I'm thinking that having a baby at a young age can ruin your life forever.

Most people see it as a good thing to do when your deeply in love with someone. Also I feel like some women choose to have a baby to trap their man. Girls can tell a perfect lie so no one can be in their business, but eventually, everything comes into the light.

What I'm wondering is do girls think about their bodies before having an abortion?

While doing some research on these questions, I came upon this quote from a book about The Abortion Controversy:

The moral and legal issues raised by the practice of abortion has tested the philosophers, theologians, and statesmen of every age since the dawn of civilization. The Stoics' belief that abortion should be allowed up to the moment of birth was vigorously opposed by the Pythagoreans who believed that the soul was infused into the body at conception and that to abort a fetus would be to commit murder.

Rubin, E. (1994) The Abortion Controversy: A Documentary History. [e-book] Westport, CT: Greenwood Press. p.Abortion in Historical Context Available through: Questia http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=o&d=15632745 [Accessed: 23 January 2012].

This is basically saying that some people think that abortion is murder.

This looks like a good book to read about if your trying to find out facts about abortions and the consequences you have to pay if you continue to have abortions. It make me wonder if these young women are concerned about the results from killing an infant baby.

Teen abortion is necessary to a certain extent. Killing a baby that hasn't been born yet is straight murder. I feel like if your not ready, then OK, but doing it more then four times is committing murder.

I'm thankful for the people who chose the right decision in life and decided to create a family. I remember one of my women friends who I know had an abortion and ever since then she decided to not be sexually active.

Dear Curtis:I also feel

Dear Curtis:

I also feel strongly about teenage abortion. Your topic "Lots of questions about teenage abortion". I know someone who has had 4 abortion but continues to have unprotected sex. I mean, who am I to judge her right?

One sentence that stood out for me was "Also I feel like some women choose to have a baby to trap their man". I also felt like that. But I have a lot of friends that have kids and they told me that having a baby, actually makes the man wanna leave more. What teenage guy wants to be with just one girl? Guys wanna go out and do what they want... I mean am I wrong?

I know a girl who also had 7 abortions. But in her situation, she was raped by her uncle. And he kept getting her pregnant... so I guess that was understandable to me.

I don't think abortion should be legal, but why bring a child into the world if you have nothing to offer. I think things happen. And it's the mother's responsibility to take care of what she did. Even, if she chooses abortion. She doing what's best for her and the baby.

Dear michelle,

I am thrilled about your comment on teen abortion because everyone will know someone who had a teen abortion more than 2 times. i hate to talk about it but it just bothers me to know about someone killing their child.

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is " I know someone who has had 4 abortion but continues to have unprotected sex. I mean, who am I to judge her right". i think this is interested into know because females think that birth control will always protect which is dosen't.

Another sentences that surprised me was " I don't think abortion should be legal, but why bring a child into the world if you have nothing to offer". you touched me a little because bringing a baby into this world is the most difficult thing to do when your not ready.

Your comment reminds me of something that happened to me. i ran into one of my old friends named Erica and she was looking sick so i ask her what happened you was brighter than a star know your darker than your shadow . she told me about the problems she was going threw with her boyfriend and he forced her to have 2 abortions . she was miserable .

Thanks for commenting on my post. i look forward to seeing stories about you and comments you have for others.

Dear Curtis: Sometimes birth

Dear Curtis:

Sometimes birth control isn't the problem. I think it's just the girls that do it. Have you watched MTV'S Teen Mom? I watch it all the time, and it's sad to see how these girls end up. Maybe that's why lots of girls get abortions.

Bringing a baby into the world is hard. Even as an adult. My mom is 34 and she had a baby girl, my sister. It's hard for her to work and be a mom with my step dad. I see it's a struggle for her to buy me and my brother the things we want and raising a baby. Like 2 teenagers are gonna want the style and fashion, and a baby needs diapers and formula. what i'm trying to say is, it's hard as an adult but harder as a teenager.

I'm sorry to hear that about your friend. But of course what guy wants to have a baby? Guys need to think with their head and stop worrying about getting laid. Lol.

Dear Curtis,

I enjoyed reading your post “Lots of questions about teenage abortion” because I never really understood the reason about why women like to have an abortion. I feel as if having an abortion just isn’t right at all.

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: " I'm thinking that having a baby at a young age can ruin your life forever." I think this is a true statement because having a kid at a young age can be a bad thing for you. You have to start taking care of a baby at such a young age and some people tend to stop going to school because now they have to start taking care of a kid. For others its not such a bad thing, because even though they have a baby at such a young age they tend to know how be able to get through these things and move forward. Some people end up finding the right way to deal with this kind of situation. Another sentence that I found interesting was "Also I feel like some women choose to have a baby to trap their man." This stood out for me because I feel as if this is true. Certain girls just want to get pregnant because they think that this will keep their boyfriend from leaving them. That doesn’t really matter to certain boys.

I think that people should read your post more. Abortion isn’t really the right thing to do at all. If your just going to have an abortion when your pregnant then why have sex in the first place? I mean to me that’s just really dumb. If you know your not going to be ready for a kid then think before you do something. It’s not good to know that a baby that’s about to come into this world is just gone all because woman want to have an abortion.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because this was something worth reading. People have many questions as to why woman have abortions and they can be answered. Like I said before if your just going to end up having an abortion than don’t do anything in the first place. I mean if it’s an accident as to why they end up getting pregnant in the first place than that’s different.

Great Post

Dear Curtis,

I was very interested in your post “Lots of questions about teenage abortion” because it brings up a very touchy subject. In today's very unfortunate world, many girls are getting pregnant much too young. It’s a scary situation, so many girls decide to have a abortion. One sentence in your post that stood out to me was: “Teen abortion is necessary to a certain extent.” I find this really true. If the girl was raped then maybe abortion would be the best option. However, it does depend on the person.

Another sentence that stood out to me was: “Killing a baby that hasn't been born yet is straight murder.” I find this sentence to be sadly true. The girl pregnant might be scared, but she doesn’t realize that having an abortion means ending a life that hasn’t even started. If she doesn’t feel ready, she should at least put it for adoption.

Thanks for writing, you seem like a very interesting writer.

Love this post !!!

Dear Curtisc:

I loved your post, “Lots of questions about teenage abortion,” [sin] it’s something that been happening a lot with teenagers’ and its related with a topic I would like to talk about as well. One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “It make me wonder if these young women are concerned about the results from killing an infant baby.” I think this is very true, because it’s something I been wondering about too ; which is something that has a big impact all over world.

Another sentence that I liked was: “I'm thankful for the people who chose the right decision in life and decided to create a family.” This is stood out for me because it’s something that not everybody decided to do instead they make the wrong decision.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because this is something that has been happening all over around the world and not just with teenagers, also with adults too.

Dear Curtis, Only little

Dear Curtis,

Only little minded girls think that the pill will always work, and the same goes for the guys. Like honestly some of these girls are slick do they really think that they won't try to get you with the 'IM ON THE PILL' or 'OH, DON'T WORRY NOTHING BADS GOING TO HAPPEN'. Girls now and days want to have babies when truly they aren't ready, but to think automatically that the guy would stay? They crazy if he not ready for that type of commitment he's going to leave and what happens? She's stuck with a kid she then don't want to have.
