[QUOTE="pilotbear, post: 5532664, member: 604826"] speaking from a woman's perspective, i think the only answer is pro-choice. though i am not for abortion absolutely, i believe there are certain instances where the option is essential. if a woman is *****, if her life is directly threatened by giving birth, if the child's life is directly threatened by giving birth, etc. i do not believe that teenage irresponsibility is a reason to justify an abortion. i've heard some of you blame girls for going out and being sexually active... you have to point the finger to the boy who is involved, as well. i am all for teaching about contraception and ****** abstinence, but there has to be another option. personally, i could never live with myself if i had to make that decision to abort my baby. my solution would be adoption. i know some of you will counter that this is the only moral solution to an unwanted pregnancy, but think of all the children that are put up for adoption, how difficult the adoption process actually is, and how many kids remain in foster homes or bounce around from family to family until they become of age. that's not fair for them to not have a normal childhood, either. i just want you guys to think about how this affects the woman. this is a decision that she will have to live with for the rest of her life. it's not as simple as throwing a piece of garbage in the trash can. i can guarantee that any normal, emotional human being would be haunted by this kind of decision for as long as they live.
