It (as I have said at least twice) is not in any way an easy decision. It is a difficult and hard choice that the woman makes because she feels it is the right choice for her and her child. I don't think you understand the degree of strength it takes for a woman to realize that she cannot have a child, by having a child I'm talking going through with the pregnancy. That means not having the money to go through with the prenatal care (yes yes I know your mother was poor but since you have failed twice to tell me how old she was I can't really factor her in because I don't know if she was old enough to get a job and care for herself let alone medical bills).


I get that this means something to you but it really means something to me. I get VERY upset when talking about this, I don't know why but I take any insults to women who have had abortions very personally. So I do have a level of emotional attachment to the situation, who are you to tell me it's not as deep as yours when you can't even know for sure that your mother even considered abortion. You are assuming because she was poor and alone she did, but she could have been like you, or she could have been very religious and it might not have even crossed her mind.

Killing a child is NOT a child's choice, nor is it an easy choice. But saying that you think It's the right decision, Is wrong. And that is why abortion In some peoples eyes is wrong.

If someone has had an abortion, and posts in the abortion forum. They need to be strong and not get offended by it, or not post.

Money for care? Get real. I lived on welfare and food stamps my whole life. You can't pull that over my eyes for one second. This country is throwing money into the streets of America, and It's Americas decision what they are going to do with it. And if they "child" is too young to get a job, THEN SHE IS TOO FREAKING YOUNG TO BE HAVING SEX.
