My Friends GF got pregnant and they dont know whether to have an abortion or not...they are really young and could get into serious trouble...and advice you got to help me help them please let me know!! Thank You

tell them its not worth taking a life,keep it,tell them,no matter how much trouble theres goin to be,how old are the both of them

There are places that would take in those people kids or babies who might not be ready to be a mom and or dad yet.

Abortion part is up to them.

And really what is young, if you saying likd 12 or 13 or so etc then yeah that's to young, if your saying mid 20's or so then that isn't young.

One thing though does the mom and dad know that this girl is pregnat ? if so what do they have to say if anything other then probably being angery and pissed about it happening, or do they not know yet.

Only they can decide. For the health of the mother, the health of the relationship, the practicalities of raising a child.

No one can decide for them.

Even when I personally dont abide by terminating a life, I cannot tell them what to do...

killing a baby for the sake of convenience or fear is wrong. there are many people desperate to have a baby that cant be pregnant that would gladly take and love the little one

if I agreed to abortions, I might only have one child and not the four that I do have!!!! NO S#!+

Hello,
I think you should tell them how precious life is. How they were given a chance to live in this world. They should considering giving that right to the child that lives and grows in her womb.

keep it, most definately, it's a human life it shouldn't be taken away

It is their decision. Only they can know their situation.

It is ultimatly up to them but i will say that if my mom would have aborted me i wouldn't be here living this wonderful life. I am adopted from south korea and my mom was 18 when she had me but instead of having an abortion i'm here in the states enjoying life. I hope this encourages them to keep the child.

how did they get pregnant in the first place?

how old are they? its a womans body she could do whatever the f%$k she wants to it! i know some of you are going to trip but oh well

Why does age have to come into it?

The circumstances are the challenge, and possibly the strength of their relationship.

As to conception, I have known little people to be conceived even whilst contraceptives have been used.

To all those who disagree, Would you have wanted your parents to abort you???

two of my friends have young childre and one of each of their daughters had children at 16. The family rallied around them and the babies are loved and adorable...ADORABLE!!!! And I'm sitting here reflecting on their happy little faces and giggly joys and can't even imagine them being nowhere!!! They are precious.

What sort of question is that?

I was adopted, because abortion was so risky and so highly illegal here in the 60's in Australia.

Whether pro abortion or not, no one can tell these people what they can or cannot do, and applying guilt trips will do more harm than good.

Who knows the circumstances, surrounding this obviously unplanned pregnancy??

ok here is what he means... he is 18 his girlfriend is underage... he got her pregnant is afraid of going ot jail... he wants her to have an abortion .. what do you think about that

What I mean Jess is if your parents had made the choice to have you aborted, we would have never been able to get the chance to know you and the wonderful person you are...

okay lets get back to the discussion. what should they do....who knows what they should do. have you ever been pregnant and not know what to do?

try asking yourself that. should the mother have the baby, or should she abort? what does the father think, and the parents, what about the community they live in, do they love each other, or was this just some fun. where will they live, and how will they support the baby. and when the baby gets here, what do they do then? and what are the chances they will stay together, being thrown together by this unwanted pregnancy. and what is it going to to do both sides of the family. does anyone care?
and who is going to stay with this child the next 18 or so years of it's life.

questions i failed to ask myself when it happened to me.

when I was 18, my girlfriend was 17 and she insisted on an abortion. I'm not the mother... I went through HELL for a couple of years. The HELL started after the abortion. She felt equally terrible. We married and in 79 our first child was born and we both were able to forget about it. I don't think about it anymore until something like this comes up. You don't want that feeling coming over you. I don't care what you think or ratioalize about it, it will have an affect on you that is extremely unpleasant!!! Peace, out!!!
