Teen Taboo: Underage Sex & Abortion

[leo]

Yeeea, I think if your raped you should have the choice to get an abortion. I'm against abortions 100%, but there can be a couple exceptions. Rape and if your forced.

But I really think women should wait to have sex until they get married. I'm obviously a virgin =D woo go me. But to aoivd all this abortion crap, just wait. [Unless raped O.o] But if you're married and the condom breaks, then woo you have a chance of getting a baby. Sadly most teens think that the condom, won't break because their mind is full of sex filled thoughts and they just slip it on, thinking that their totally safe. This happened to one of the girls at my school she didn't get the abortion, but the condom broke. When my friend had sex for the first time, the condom broke, but she didn't get pregnate, thank god!

And again, I'm against abortions, I really don't like them. It's pretty much murder. Women pretty much get abortions when the fetus is still growing, but most wait until around 2-3 months. At that time, the fetus has a heart and organs, so it's pretty much murder.

I think the main thing that makes me angry about the debate is that a lot of pro-life people (not anyone inparticular just people I've come across) have the view, or the opinion that being Pro-Choice is being pro-abortion.

It's not. I mean I don't think abortion is a good thing. I DO believe that it killing the potential for life, but it isn't about that for me.

Pro-choice is what it says: For the choice to have an abortion or not. We don't go aroung "If you get pregnant you should have an abortion."

I don't recommened them to anyone, apparently it's just nasty, and it leaves HUGE emotional scars.


If we were pro-abortion we'd be labled pro-abortion.

I just...I think the quote I like the most about this debate is this:

"Don't like abortion don't have one."

We as humans, have no right to tell another human what they can't and can't do when it comes to their body, and we have to respect their choices, even if we don't agree with them.

It's not like a woman wants to kill this baby that's inside of her, but sometimes, she must. No one's supporting the murderous background to abortion, it's just that we should have the choice to do it.

You, as an individual, have the choice of murder. You can get someone else's blood on your hands and pull someone else's trigger whenever you may please. It's not right, it's illegal, but you can still do it. Abortion should be the same, though not treated as harshly, since the baby is your own creation. ... It's hard to explain. Even as a fetus, it's not fully human yet, right? ><;

It had to be around a week ago when my--get ready for this-- friend's, friend's, friend's, mother had to do an abortion. Her baby had a disease, the name slips my mind, that would of made its bones more fragile than glass. It was so hard for this mother, and so emotion, but she had to do what was best; the baby would've died from labor, most likely, or would've had a significantly shortened life that would be a living hell.

D: It was pretty sad.

i think if your are mature to make your own decisions then go ahead.
its not the age that tells you if you should have sex. it is how you personally feel. towards yourself, towards to the other person but mostly how you feel about sex.
if you can think of reasons not to, then dont.
13 year olds should not have sex, their body is not right for it, they havent learnt about their body enough and they dont know enough about how the world works.

I think that instead of people debating on whether or not abortion is a good or bad think, we should be working to educate people to not have unprotected sex! Also, if you're underage, you're most likely to not br independant enough to support a baby when you can't really survive without your parents' money! So, to shorten this whole thing out, don't have underage sex and if you do, try using as much protection as you can get!

I'd keep it no matter what. She chose to open legs and have sex, she should open her legs and push that baby out. If she was raped, I'd understand, but she wasn't.

You would keep it no matter what. You. Don't just assume that every thirteen-year-old girl chooses to "open her legs and have sex", that is morally wrong. If you are saying that a thirteen-year-old girl is old enough to have a baby because she "chose" to have sex, then she is old enough to choose to go out and buy alcohol. She is old enough to go our and buy cigarettes. Hell, she is certainly old enough to go out and buy whatever drugs she feels like doing then, right? If she makes the choice, she should suffer the consequences.

This is the real problem. Hypocracy.

"Don't do this, there are consequences." "If you do this, you will suffer the consequences." "This was your mistake, deal with it." "Oh, you overdosed on drugs because it was your decision and I didn't drive you to the hospital to save your life? So sad."

As for your statement, "If she was raped, I'd understand that, but she wasn't..." How do you know she wasn't raped? How do you classify "rape"? Physically being forced to have sex? What about emotionally? Last I checked, being 13 is a tough age emotionally. Girls are changing, boys are changing, hormones are taking over. And that's just physically! Emotionally, girls are trying to deal with it all. It's the age when kids start to distance themselves from their parents; they're growing, so they must be growing up. Don't you think that a thirteen-year-old girl who gets talked into sex is being raped?

What about the girl that doesn't need convincing, just does it? Have you ever considered that maybe she just wanted to feel loved? Society not only advertises as sex being bad, but sex being good and a sign of love. Confusing, eh? Try being a thirteen-year-old girl who isn't wise to the world yet.

One cannot judge every single female based on one idea. Saying "abortion is WRONG" just because you wouldn't have an abortion is impeding on the freedom of others. No, having an abortion past a certain point in a pregnancy is not right. No, having abortion after abortion just because you keep getting pregnant by mistake is not right. However, saying that no female can have an abortion because it is morally wrong to you is also not right. In my opinion.
