First off dont feel too bad about the not knowing about the father thing. Ive gone through the same thing and still kinda am between 2 people but my chances are really small for one of them. U will just need a paternity test if u have the baby. And no offense, but what the hell do u mean u have no other option? What about adoption???? Even if your parents will 'disown' you . .They cant really kick you out or anything if you have no where to go if your only 16. Everyone feels this way tho. U might be surprised on your parents reaction.R u planning on going to a doctor soon? Or have u even tested yet? Y do you think your pregnant, r u late on your period? . If u are.. Even if u cantt take care of the baby. .Why couldnt you adopt it out and give the baby a happy home instead of aborting it when no offense but its clearly your fault, not the babys... I know its scary, but hey,when we choose to have sex.. This is sometihng that can come along with it. Im 18 and 31.2 weeks pregnant by the way. Also.. Umm I just read another post of yours and you said that your involved with your boyfriend right now and his ex is pregnnat.. And now you are? Sounds like hes obviously not very careful and it seems like he would be knowing he already had gotten one chic pregnant...??

Have you ever heard of adoption ? Abortion is health question. They cut the baby up into different parts while it's still alive and then suck it out. And they do have feelings, even only at 6 weeks.




Blu

Any updates? Where r ya?

I wouldnt push abortion cuz im totally against that. I found out that I was pregnant when I was 16 too. I put off telling my parents until I was 6 months along. Dont worry about not knowing the father...Everyone has problems.I was too scared to tell my family at first for the same reasons as you. And at first they were pissed....No denying that. But now everyone is looking foward to it and excited about it. Im just saying please think about what your going to do before you do it and update us!!!

I'm sorry but give the homicide thing a rest. I don't believe in abortion either but it's her choice to make, not yours. I would be way to scared to get an abortion personally. If you are only considering abortion because you are to scared to tell your parents then stop! I thought my parents would kill me (literally kill me) but I had to tell them (i'm keeping my baby) and they're pretty much ok now. It was hard but most parents turn around and get excited. My very religious grandma who got mad that I was holding my bf hand is super excited. Tell them and see what happens. Good luck!

is or is not abortion health question? Is or is not health question?


The whole definition of abortion is health question a baby. The definition of health question a human.


Therefore, abortion = health question.

Im sorry, but that is your opinion.

Abortion is a touchy topic and I wouldn't do it, but I also wouldn't call it "homicide"

a woman has a right to decide what happens to her body. Her and only her. No one should get to vote on whether or not she has to have or not have an abortion. This is america, not iraq.

Well its not really an opinion. Abortion is just that- aborting the baby. No matter what way you look at it, your taking a life. Even if a women does decide to get an abortion, or just because its her body... Its still health question a poor baby.

It is a touchy subject but there should not be a nice way to look at abortion simply because there is no nice way to put it. You get rid of a life, pull it apart and leave it to die. This isnt iraq, but its not candyland either.

I agree with nikki 100%.



It is not an opinion that abortion is homicide. It is a fact. It is an opinion that abortion is wrong or right. No one can argue with the logic that abortion =health question and everyone is entitled to their opinions about the ethicalilty of abortion.

I agree. Although I have supported in the past abortions because of insest or rape upon a small child, because I do not believe a small child who was raped/insest should have to go through a pregnancy. Thats the only way I can justify it. But either way, theres no way around it, when you abort a baby, you take their life, they are breathing and have aheartbeat, and u make it stop... Thats still health question..

I'm 16....And if I can do it..And go to school....And deal with my high school drama...And not being with my babys dad....You can do it!

Nikki I love the iraq/candyland point! Very good!

Just to clarify -- a fetus does not breathe. The vast majority of abortions are performed before three months -- no heartbeat. No brain, either.

Good for you, deciding to keep the baby. For a woman who does not feel able to do the same, abortion is a choice she must have.

Im sorry no heart beat no brain?? I take it youve never been to an ultrasound. I went in at 2 months and I saw my baby kicking around and wiggling and we saw the heart beating??? Hello yes it does have a heart, it is a life! And if its nothing then why do they need to rib the baby apart? Because it is a little body growing! Common sense!

Hey you guys...I never said I was for sure pregnant I said I "think" I am, I went ahead and told one of the guys about it, he said he would be there for me and he would help me, he's also buying me a pregnancy test. If I am then I decided to keep him/her. It would be scary but I would have to deal with it. Thank you guys so much for your advice.

Here is the usual schedule:
at conception: one very lucky spermatozoon out of hundreds of millions ejaculated by the man will penetrate the outside layer of the ovum and fertilize it. The surface of the ovum changes its electrical characteristics and prevents additional sperm from entering. A genetically unique entity is formed shortly thereafter, called a zygote. Half of its 46 chromosomes come from the egg and the other half from the spermatozoon. It has a unique dna structure, different from that of the ovum and the spermatozoon. This is the point that most, or all, pro-life groups and conservative christians define as the start of pregnancy. They also define this as the transition from human life (in the form of an ovum and sperm containing human dna) to a human person. The fertilized ovum divides as it passes down the fallopian tubes; it is then called a morula (a.K.A. Pre-embryo).
5 days or so after conception: the morula, now called a blastocyst, has traveled down the fallopian tubes and has started to attach itself to the endometrium, the wall of the uterus (a.K.A. Womb). It continues to be referred to as a pre-embryo.
9 or 10 days after conception: the blastocyst has fully attached itself to endometrium. Primitive placental blood circulation has begun.
12 days or so after conception: the blastocyst has started to produce hormones which can be detected in the woman's urine. This is is the event that all (or almost) all pro-choice groups and almost all physicians (who are not conservative christians) define to be the start of pregnancy. If instructions are followed exactly, a home-pregnancy test may reliably detect pregnancy at this point, or shortly thereafter.
13 or 14 days after conception: a "primitive streak" appears. It will later develop into the fetus' central nervous system. This is the point at which spontaneous division of the blastocyst -- an event that sometimes generates identical twins -- is not longer possible. The pre-embryo is now referred to as an embryo. It is a very small blob of undifferentiated tissue at this stage of development.
3 weeks: the embryo is now about 1/12" long, the size of a pencil point. It most closely resembles a worm - long and thin and with a segmented end. Its heart begins to beat about 18 to 21 days after conception. Before this time, the woman might have noticed that her menstrual period is late; she might suspect that she is pregnant and conduct a pregnancy test. If it is an unwanted pregnancy, she might have arranged and carried through with an abortion.
4 weeks: the embryo is now about 1/5" long. It looks something like a tadpole. The structure that will develop into a head is visible, as is a noticeable tail. The embryo has structures like the gills of a fish in the area that will later develop into a throat.
5 weeks: tiny arm and leg buds have formed. Hands with webs between the fingers have formed at the end of the arm buds. Fingerprints are detectable. The face "has a distinctly reptilian aspect." 1
6 weeks: the embryo is about 1/2" long. The face has two eyes on the side of its head; the front of the face has "connected slits where the mouth and nose eventually will be." 1
7 weeks: the embryo has almost lost its tail. "the face is mammalian but somewhat pig-like." 1 pain sensors appear. Many conservative christians believe that the embryo can feel pain. However, the higher functions of the brain have yet to develop, and the pathways to transfer pain signals from the pain sensors to the brain have not developed at this time.
2 months: the embryo's face resembles that of a primate but is not fully human in appearance. Some of the brain begins to form; this is the "reptilian brain" that will function throughout life. The embryo will respond to prodding, although it has no consciousness at this stage of development. The brain's higher functions do not develop until much later in pregnancy.
10 weeks: the embryo is now called a fetus. Its face looks human; its gender may be detectable.
3 months: the fetus is about 3 inches long and weighs about an ounce. Fingernails and bones can be seen. Over 90% of all abortions are performed before this stage has been reached.
4 months: it is 8" long and weighing a half pound. The fetus' movements may begin to be felt. Its heartbeat can usually be detected.
5 months/21.8 weeks: 12" long and weighing about a pound, the fetus' has hair on its head. Its movements can be felt. An abortion is usually unavailable at this gestational age because of state and province medical society regulations, except under very unusual circumstances. Half-way through this month, the fetus' lungs may be developed to the point where it would have a chance to live on its own.
6 months/26 weeks: 14" long and almost two pounds. The lungs' bronchioles develop. Interlinking of the brain's neurons begins. Some rudimentary brain waves can be detected. The fetus will be able to feel pain for the first time. It will become conscious of its surroundings. State laws and medical association regulations generally outlaw abortions at this stage, except under very unusual circumstances.
7 months: 16" long and weighing about three pounds. Regular brain waves are detectable which are similar to those in adults.
8 months: 18" long and weighing about 5 pounds.
9 months: 20" long and with an average weight of 7 pounds, a full-term fetus' is typically born about this time.

Thanks for the info poopoo. But these girls do not care. Abortion is wrong no matter what.
If only everyone had that sugar coated perfect life.

Health question right abortion is wrong – except in case of mothers life.

A fetus does breath – there you go! Ok not in the normal sense of the meaning. A fetus can’t breath through the lungs as the lungs arnt developed enough this is what stops them being viable. However the fetus/baby still needs oxygen to live(he/she is alive) so it breaths through the umbilical cord.


I know you don’t want an abortion – just be brave!
