never. Her body, her choice.





that would depend on her age, and why she was pregnant. A teen, I would suggest abortion or adoption to. If she kept it, i'd help during her highschool years but after that she'd need to find help from the govrnment. I'd help her find this support, but if she wants a baby, that makes her an adult in my eyes. I'll care for her till she's 18 or graduated from highschool, whichever happens last.





i don't think children should be having children; they are not ready physically, emotionally, financially, or mentally. I also don't think it is acceptable by our society, and I don't think it should be. There is a time and a place to have babies. Highschool is not it.

never. Just like I wouldn't force a woman in my care to obtain an abortion against her will either.
if she's old enough to be having children, she is pretty much too old for me to be reprimanding her. And, no, I would not be willing to support both her and her children. If she is old enough to have children, she is old enough to care for those children. If, after some time on her own, she realizes she cannot do it alone (depending on her age), I would secure her legal representation to obtain an adoption. I would not throw her out onto the street but I would require her to get a job (while still in school, she would not be allowed to drop out) and pay me rent and some other bills. I would help her locate what little government support is available but I would expect her to start taking on total responsibility for herself and her child. If she's such an adult to go through such a life changing event, then she's adult enough to start shouldering her fair share of responsibility for herself.
it's always happened and at least society no longer treats the children horribly for something they had no control over.

thing is it still happens, after reading alot of prolife post I want to post the negatives of the other options they treasure dearly, so what is the best option?


Some woman are coerced or forced into a pregnacy, if they do not keep it society frowns on them. If a child has a child, pro-life is happy but they that child cannot support a newborn and henc the parent are left with the dirty work. Society frowns upons both and I honestly feel that both should be open to anyone.


So in the end neither side wins, except pro-choice has the advantage of promoting everything in unbiased manner isnt that freedom? Being able to make choices? Being able to learn evolve etc?

I just dont understand some of the bs I see on here, how can a fetus suffer when it cannot feel pain, explain that one?


Explain to me why a childs parent should be forced to take care of a child/grandchild upon their will?


Why should I be judged for being pro-choice when that is my belief, I believe in freedom of thought, freedom to make choices and equality, so if your pro-life wouldnt that make you somewhat prejudist?

I would not force my daughter to carry to term but if she wanted to then I would support her all the way. If she wasn't old enough to support herself and her child then I would do so. I wouldn't like my daughter to have an abortion because in my mind she would be killing my grandchild but if, after being presented with all her options, she chose abortion then I would be there to hold her hand when she went through with it. I would never stop loving my daughter although I would find it hard to like her if she continued to have unwanted pregnancies and abortions because of carelessness.

As for the foetal pain issue, I think the jury is still out on that one but science is giving us a clearer picture on it every day. However, the issue for me is not so much the pain a foetus feels (although of course that is a big issue) but the fact that a human life is being taken by another.

i wouldn't make her do anything. I would not suggest a course of action; I would only present her with information, including that I will be supportive of her and her child if she chooses to have it. I would not want my daughter and my granddaughter to be in the situation so many young mothers are in, so I would support her. It takes a village...

I don't think children should be having children. (reminds me of the .Sly .Stone song with the lyrics, "babies makin' babies") more education, birth control, and promoting self-confidence in kids is needed.

I tihnk there was a topic (or irrelevant discussion within another topic) similar to this, and I got flamed massively for my response. I'll just keep this concise:

i would never force my daughter to carry a pregnancy to term, but if she chose to keep the child, she'd be finding herself a new place to live (if she was still living with me, that is). If she wants to mess up her life, then that's fine - but I wouldn't be the one shelling out the money for her mistakes.
