My first instinct was "F*** no!" I can't imagine anyone being forced to have a abortion if they were really passionate on keeping it. They might feel empty inside if they were forced into a abortion. And on the other hand (as a firm pro-choicer) I believe we have enough girls not graduating to change a diaper. And if they didn't want to be a mother, should we ever force someone to take on the role of one? Even if the parent said "Ok, you don't have to mother the baby, but you have to go through the pregnancy and labour." I'ld feel very sorry for that girl if that wasn't what she wanted.
So, as soon as i read this question i was horrified....But then i thought about it and then thought-
What about the 12-13 year olds who don't really know what they want? When your 12 life is easy. You won't understand the hard-ships of p[arenhood and might think it's just like on TV.....Parents probably are a lil' bit wiser and have lived a lil' bit more.
But then again- THere are so many complications- i'm not sure.
It's a hard question because there are so many different possible situations, like pandawinx was saying. But I think in the majority of situations, the parents would know more and make the right decision.
If a kid gets pregnant and they're still living at home, they don't have the economic means or foresight to raise a kid properly anyway, so in the majority of situations it would really be the parents taking care of everything anyway.
You can tell her what to do, but if she fights you, she fights you.
I'm not sure....If you were a female 14 year old, who was pregnant, and obviously a littlle bit traumatised by your nine months and then labour.....Wouldn't you feel like their was a bit of a reminder of everything you've been through in your house? And the awkward moment when one day you tell your son/daughter you not really his/her big sister...?
I have. Sadly, that happens.
Where is the "Pro-Life" if the girl has the child and then she realises that her childhood, her youth, the best time of her life, is ruined? That she doesn't have a life like she was supposed to have anymore?
I know plenty of women in their twenties who act less mature than most of my younger teenage friends and younger teenage girls I know of on here, so I don't see why we are choosing to take away rights over something that isn't even entirely related with adolescence or age. In that sense, women under the age of thirty should have their rights to keep the child or not rely on their parents or past guardians. And even with this, it truly would not and does not matter if the teen's maturity is that of Einstein's or that of a damn fool, it still isn't her parents' body or their unborn child.
To me, if one really believes that it's about the woman's choice, then I believe in that sense that the teenage girl alone should have the choice...unless there is a father who wishes to raise the child present, but that's a whole other can of worms evidently. =/
"Where is the "Pro-Life" if the girl has the child and then she realises that her childhood, her youth, the best time of her life, is ruined? That she doesn't have a life like she was supposed to have anymore?"
Aye, must we go into this on this fanpick?
What makes me Pro-Life is my belief in the unborn baby's life having considerable value, of its vitality being just as essential and significant as ours. That, from what I understand, is the whole point and concept of the Pro-Life stance.
I could go over all of my Pro-Life opinions and beliefs, but the paragraph above best sums it up.
Along with the fact that I understand how difficult a teenage mother's life can be, seeing others' experiences and having watched Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant occasionally, yet the teen mother is still able to build a life for herself despite the odds and succeed for herself and her child. Fantasia Barrino would be an excellent example of this, along with a list of others I could find by the end of tonight.
With a teen mother, there is still hope and life itself for her.
For an unborn child that is aborted, there is neither except hopefully Heaven.
That's why I'm Pro-Life.
I mean, if the child wants to keep the baby, that would mean a lot of stress and expense on the girl and her parents, and it's very selfish of a girl to do that to her family.
And if a girl doesn't want to keep a baby, she shouldn't have to. But parents do have the right to make their kid get an abortion. If I had a daughter who got pregnant, I'd make her get an abortion, because I wouldn't want a baby to wreck her life. And even if she chooses to put it up for adoption, I still think it would be a bad life choice.
Plus, they couldn't even trust her with a condom, what makes you think they can trust her with a baby?
Condoms break?
You're kidding right? Maybe not all of us can do that, but when push comes to shove in this world, sometimes things HAVE to work that way in your brain. If I had become pregnant and I was told by my parents to have that pregnancy come to term, oh my...they must not see the future clearly either, because if they do succeed in forcing me to stay pregnant because 'they know best' they wouldn't have this teenager anymore.
Um, I don't think so. Perhaps I was just special, but my biggest problems has always been that I constantly think "how will this effect me in the future? Will this damage my chance at college? Will this damage my chance at my dream/ job/home?" I've never been able to just "live for the moment."
On the flip side, as a 21 year old who surrounds herself with other 21+ people, I can't say I've ever seen a pattern between age and connecting actions to the future. Some people (like myself) have always done that. Some people, at almost 50, still can't.
It all depends on the person.
I never seem to have time to think of consequences when i'm faced with cross-roads (something that isnt exactly handy), but someone half my age could be able to map it out perfectly in their head in 30 seconds.
Which is actually why I've came to the conclusion that perhaps the answer of this question varies on who this hypothectical teenager is.
And the reverse is true too. If the teen thinks that she can handle raising a kid and would be devastated to lose the baby, then that is also her choice.If the teen thinks that having an abortion would be too much for her to handle and that she'd rather consider alternatives like adoption, that should be her choice as well. It can trigger depression to have an abortion if an abortion isn't wanted. I imagine that it would be very similar to having a miscarriage.
1. It isn't the female who puts the condom on. A female can use birth control but the male is the one who uses the condom (as far as I know, I'm ace so I ain't know jack shit about this lol)
1b. Yes, she can say no if the dude refuses to put on the condom, but she still shouldn't be punished if she chooses to have sex anyways and a pregnancy happens.
2. Condoms break, birth control fails, sometimes it just happens.
3. Wearing a condom and raising a baby are two different things. I feel like most people would have the sense to go in with more planning when raising a kid than they would with thinking about condoms.
4. The parents can help the teen raise the kid if need be. Sex is more private.
Granted I do think that teens probably shouldn't be raising kids as they aren't even grown themselves and their decision making can be poor and impulsive. But I still think that they should have the choice because it can be just as mentally damaging to force a person into getting an abortion as it is to prevent them from having one.
