Alright. My question is howmany people think they could really go through with it, if they had the option. And im talking about an actual abortion in a clinic, not a do it yourself job like that other tipic was.
Personaly up untill this morning i thought i might be pregnent due to being 8 days late. I was going to go to planned parenthood and get a test, and if i was, find out what steps needed to be taken to get an abortion. Though the thought of going through it scares me just a little. Id still go through with it because i couldnt take care of a child right now where i have no money, i havent graduated and i cant stand taking care of my sisters baby for more then a few hours at a time.

I defend the right to choose in that situation, but that doesn't mean I know what my choice would be!
I guess it would depend on a lot of complicated factors.

I know for a fact I would. Not a moment of hesitation.

I would. I am childfree, I never ever want children and pregnancy is one of my greatest fears.

i've already come face to face with that situation and i don't have a kid. i'll let you guys fill in the blanks. surprised
i really don't feel like going in to any detail right now, but not one day has gone by that i regret what i've done. i've considered what my life would be like if i hadn't aborted and it frightens me. my ex got another girl knocked up after he dumped me and has a kid now so i really don't have to use a lot of imagination. i just take a look at their situation! lulz >.>

I've thought about it, and right now I would. Why?
~ I couldn't afford childbirth, let alone being a mom
~ my boyfriend lives in another state, and I'm in college, and next year he'll be in college in another state, so either I'd be on my own or one of us would have to move and transfer schools
~ there's no family housing on campus, I'd need to get my own apartment
~ I don't know how I could manage school and raising a child
~ I wouldn't have the strength to give the baby up for adoption
~ I'm not emotionally ready for pregnancy or motherhood
~ I'd have to somehow make enough money to support me and the baby, meaning somehow juggling classes, taking care of the baby, and working to make money.
Those are just the reasons I can think of right now. I do want to have kids someday, but now it's just not really possible.

Lee Retalis I would. I am childfree, I never ever want children and pregnancy is one of my greatest fears. Same, except for the child-free part. If I ever have kids, they'll be adopted.

I've had an abortion, and I can only imagine I'd have another if I needed to.
I don't think I can be 100% sure I would, because it's possible that if I won the lottery and finished college by then that I'd be what I consider ready for raising children. xd
But many of my peers and two close friends that are around my same age have given birth already, and though I love them dearly, that's really not something I, my family, or my boyfriend could deal with right now. I'm satisfied that the choice I made was the right one.

¨*:·.♥.·:*¨Being in that situation can change your mind...no matter which way that may be, but right now, I'd have an abortion.
Three years ago I had my daughter. And every day I'm glad I made that decision, and I truly enjoy her company in my life, but I'm not completely idealistic. I know what it took...and to go through it again right now...it'd be downright stupid. I love being a mom. I'd love to have another baby someday. But I'd be throwing her and myself into poverty, and that's the best-case-scenario. The more likely case is, I become ill and weakened again (as I did with her), and have to stay on bedrest. Who'll take care of her? My father is elderly, and my boyfriend, God love him, doesn't know the first thing about kids...and even if he did, he's got to work too, to pay for his own s**t from having cancer.
...and that's also assuming I live. There's an incredibly high chance I won't. And then what? Who gets my daughter then? Her father? He's not fit to raise Chia pets. The system? No thanks, I work for CPS, I know how that s**t goes.
So yes, come down to it, I'd get an abortion, in a clinic. I've got the number all ready just in case of emergency.

I would abort, no matter what.
For me, my only two options should I become pregnant are abortion, or suicide. I would much rather be dead than ever give birth, for my own personal reasons that people may or may not agree with. I thought I might have been pregnant some time ago (false alarm, though) and I looked up all of the information I could about getting an abortion in my area. I also have 600 dollars put aside should a pregnancy ever occur and I need to pay for the procedure to terminate.

I would, without hesitation.
I have a kid, and that's one more than I ever planned on, so I'm done.

I would. I'm Childfree, so I don't ever want to have kids. If my birth control failed, I'd have no problem getting an abortion. I have the name, address, phone numbers and prices for my local clinic.

See, for me, I can't even begin to imagine that because I've never had a boyfriend, let alone a sex life.
But I imagine I would get abortion--especially if I was still in school. I want to finish my education, get a secure job, and be financially stable. I want to provide the best home possible for any of the children I might have.
I just don't know if I'd involve the boyfriend--it would depend on him and his stance on abortion. If he wasn't supportive, I probably wouldn't tell him and just have my mom go with me for support.

PhaedraMcSpiffy I guess it would depend on a lot of complicated factors. I agree. And I love your avi!!! I am going to change mine up. Anyway I guess that if I found I was pregnant today here is how I would view my options- Parenthood= There is no way I could be a good mom, support a baby and eventually go to college. My life would be ruined and my kid's life would suck. Adoption= The appeal is the selflessness in giving away a baby to a couple that really wants a child. But I am not sure if I really want to go through with that and deal with the possible physical and emotional damage of pregnancy and giving a baby away. Though, my parents would probably more approve of this than my other two options. Abortion= Would allow me to remain in school and I could put it behind me and move on. I could go to college and I wouldn't have the emotional damage that giving a baby up could cause. But the downside is that my parents wouldn't allow me to and I would have to go behind their backs. If I was caught they would probably kick me out of the house. So I guess I would end up choosing adoption if my parent’s wouldn’t let me abort

Tiadaria Being in that situation can change your mind...no matter which way that may be, but right now, I'd have an abortion. I've always been slightly afraid that - as much as I'm convinced now that having a child is the last thing on earth that would be appropriate and beneficial for either of us - pregnancy hormones and vague sentimentality would be able to throw me off my perfectly rational decision. That's why I've always told myself that should I get pregnant, I'm aborting. Not leaving room for mushiness and second thoughts, should they surface. That's actually what scares me most if I would have a pregnancy scare. And I do think that the amount of time I'm with the person I'm pregnant by would make a difference on an emotional level.
