I think you should keep it. I think its wrong to take away life, especially a life that hasn't been born yet. Your baby has a heart now, and it can breathe. Its like murdering a small inocent child. Could you live with yourself for doing that?

Actually it's not breathing... I think you should decided before it gets too far along if you want abortion. In your situation I would, then maybe later in life if you wanted kids have at it. Most families who have kids at such a young age fall apart (like mine) and no one should have to go through that. I'm glad I'm here but it hasn't been the best growing up with all the fighting. If you have it I suggest adoption... although I would never want to be an orphan and never know my real parents. Just my opinion though, do what you think is best.

I say let the child live. To even think of taking life before it is born is evil. Think, this child might be the one who discovers a cure for cancer, or some other disease.

Don't listen to that backwards pro-life guy, and do whatever your heart tells you to do. After all, abortion is legal in most states of the USA. You gotta be thankful. Here in Mexico, the only way to get an abortion is at an illegal clinic, because the Congress is full of s**t-a** backward hicks that are more likely to listen to the Pope Benedict XVI than listening to the President.

I already knew the answer...

I know I'm a little late in this discussion,
because it seems you have decided what you want to do.
But I just wanted to state my opinion of pro-choice.
It's 100% your decision if you want to have the child.
Many people think "well if you don't want the child,
you can have it then put it up for adoption."
However, many people who are struggling with this decision
might not want to go through the hours of labor
just to have a child that they won't keep.
Plus, when a child is put up for adoption,
there is no guarantee that he/she will find a good family.
This is not to say that I am for killing children,
as some extreme pro-life people may be led to believe.
Some people that have abortions are filled with regret for the rest of their lives.
I'm very strong on the whole regret thing.
I always do things or don't do things that I later regret
and look back on with sorrow, wondering what could have been.
Personally, although I am pro-choice,
I feel that you should have the child.
But it will always be your decsion to make,
but whatever you choose, once done, can't be changed.

(And I see you've chosen to keep the child smile )


...But somehow it still hurt to hear.

If it were me and I was planning to keep the baby, I wouldn't give them up for adoption unless I knew it would be an unstable environment if they lived with me. Though adoption can be a beautiful thing in some respects, it can also be devastating to you, to the child, and the new parents that adopted them. Whether you want the child back or not after you've gotten everything settled and you're able to give them a healthy home, they are no longer your child to keep. Even if you're the biological mother, the child would have gotten used to their adopted parents as their own parents and the best thing that would happen is being able to visit them. I don't want to sway you, but that is just my own opinion if it were to happen to me. If I got desperate financially then I would take my child to a friend or a relative so I could have them close to me.

It really does depend on the situation and if you know your baby wouldn't live in a stable environment then it would probably be best to at least give the baby to a family member or a friend and visit regularly. That way you won't be missing out on their life, but you would also be helped out financially.

I'm quite glad to hear that you wish to keep your child. It's a very hard decision, one I hope I never have to make.
Do you have support from parents or close friends that can help you take care of your baby while you go through school?
Having a child so young isn't gonna be hard, that much I can tell you. My mom conceived when she was 18, and I can't help but think that I cut out a huge part of her life...The circumstances were much different, and I complain about everything/am frequently told I need medication for depression, so my views on this are probably a bit skewed in that area.
But I hope that you keep in mind the best for both of you and I wish you luck as a new mother. Having a supportive boyfriend will do wonders for you, unlike MY mother, so things should turn out okay.
I think I just left a very contradictory post >.>
Well...I hope I didn't have any negative effects on you sweatdrop
Again, good luck!

Well I hope your pregnancy goes well.

In the future plan for these things. The risk for spinebifida increases drastically if you don't get enough folate in your system the very week that the baby is fertilized. I personally would not want to risk having a child that would be a vegetable its life.

Just think about it from now on.

its really a personal decision. i believe that you need to keep the baby because it was your mistake and your responsibility. talk to your parents and try to come up with a plan for the college and the child to work at the same time. it can be done but will be difficult. there are alot of people around you that will help including your boyfriend and his parents. one of the biggest things i worry about is you regretting your decision if you abort the child.
