Description Hmm...
did you ever stop to think?
to think about that little baby of yours?
Y'know...
that one.
That one right there.

The one you just killed.

did you ever stop to think what that little baby wanted?
What it could have accomplished?
What if that baby,
that one right there,
had been the one to discover the cure for Cancer, saving millions of lives?
Or maybe discovered the cure for AIDS or HIV.
or accompished something else great.
Be the first person on Mars.
The possibilites were limitless.
WERE.
until you killed that baby.
that one right there.

Hi, I'm your baby you had, I grew up to cure cancer and all that nice stuff.
Just kidding, I grew up to be a psychopath that murders you and hundreds of others in gruesome ways.

You see how the "baby's potential" bullshit works both ways?

So then... if it poses a risk to the mother, or is a case of rape, you are alright with abortion?

So then you're ok with all abortions!

Statistically speaking, having an abortion poses less of a risk to the mother than childbirth.

I think I was just venting (i don't remeber stuff too well XD)
because my moms friend is getting an abortion for no reason
(she's RICH, and could very easily take care of the baby) it just makes me angry..

I can understand how that would upset you... but perhaps you don't know all the factors involved? I knew one woman a few years ago who was very well off financially, had a loving husband and 2 other kids, and had an abortion. I was confused, until her husband told me that during the last pregnancy she fell so deeply into depression (normally she is a very cheerful and loving woman) that she stopped taking care of herself near the end of it, and even told people she had thoughts of strangling the baby after it was born. It took her a year to get over, and she had the abortion because she had begun to feel similar symptoms beginning early on in the pregnancy.

Did you ever think of the mother of that child? What if she were raped? I was molested when I was 15 years old by my uncle. I was lucky that I was not raped. If I were raped, I don't know what I would do raising the baby who was the product of rape between my uncle and me and never being able to go to college because of the baby.

Also, right now I'm taking medication that most likely would cause the birth defect spinal bifida in my potential child if I, hypothetically, got pregnant. It's a disease that would require tons of painful surgeries, doctors, and nurses if the child survived a long time. The average cost to society for a child with this disease is about $532,000 and can be as much as $1 million. I also have schizoaffective disorder, which the child may or may not inherit. There would be huge medical bills and therapy bills, and I probably would have to drop out of college to pay for all of them. Then I would probably eventually become homeless due to my inability to pay for them. So do you think it would be better to bring a physical disabled, mentally child in constant pain supported by a homeless, mentally ill person or do you think it would be better for me to get an abortion in this hypothetical situation?

Would you like it if you were a child with schizoaffective disorder and spinal bifidia raised by college drop out mother living on disability with schizoaffective disorder who can't pay for your treatment? If so, vote pro-life.

No, I was saying that if you would enjoy being a mentally ill child with birth defects being raised by a mentally ill college dropout on disability and think that it is a positive thing, then continue taking a pro-life, anti-abortion stance.

I have schizoaffective disorder, I am very happy for my life. However, if you had actually read my previous posts, if I were to become pregnant now, my child would have a very strong possibility to have both mental illness AND spinal bifida, which is a birth defect. They would be both physically disabled and mentally ill. If I were to get pregnant, I would have to drop out of college. I would have to rely on disability, and I would be very poor. I wouldn't be able to afford treatment for a mentally ill and disabled child. I don't know about you, but as a mentally ill person who has had to struggle through life, I would never want my child to have to go through the same experience. That's why I'm debating whether to have children or not.

I would not terminate a pregnancy based on solely upon knowing that my child had a mental illness. But I know that with all those other factors involved, I would probably have to get abortion. I don't even know if I can bring a child to term properly. I don't menstruate.

To your original question, what if my mother killed me? If my mother had aborted me, I can understand that. I was born in a poor neighborhood. My parents are immigrants. My mother was 36 when she gave birth to me. When women give birth when they're older, there's much higher risk of them dying in labor. There is also a higher chance of birth defects. No, I wouldn't want to have been aborted, but I can see the reasons.

you have a point.
in most cases (like rape) it is understandable for a person to get an abortion. that doesn't anger me. Also i don't mind it if the baby would actually be better off dead. the only thing that gets on my nerves is when mothers that are perfectly capable of raising a healthy baby get abortions. that just doesn't seem right to me.

I would think that a woman probably not choose abortion unless it was a pretty desperate circumstance. You don't see many expectant mothers who are "perfectly capable" of raising a healthy baby getting abortions. 52% of women obtaining abortions in the U.S. are younger than 25: Women aged 20-24 obtain 32% of all abortions; Teenagers obtain 20% and girls under 15 account for 1.2%. Many of the women who obtain abortions haven't even graduated high school or college yet. It is likely that they must drop out of college to support their children; if you're 16 and you have a baby, it's not likely you're going to go to be able to take care of it between 1st and 2nd period and lunch. I really don't see how a teenage high school dropout who has to work a full-time job is "perfectly capable" to raise a baby.

What I hate is that the fathers are never held responsible for their actions. The mothers are considered "murderers," but the fathers aren't even mentioned in the abortion argument. The mothers have to make a huge, life-or-death decision while the fathers don't even have to take care of the child if they don't want to.

true...
the fathers never get the blame.
the fathers are usually the abusive ones, and that's what really ticks me off. they never get held responsible for it

Abuse occurs in many relationships, including those involving teenage pregnancies. However, even more common than that are deadbeat dads. Pregnant teenage mothers are biologically forced to make difficult choices about their children that teenage fathers do not have to make. Being that relationships between teenage mothers and fathers tend to be short-lived after pregnancy, the fathers have little motivation to want to support a child who is not theirs. Thus, often girls will be forced to raise children as single mothers.

Often the mother must take care of her child, drop out of school, and bear the shame of the teenage mother while the father can go to college, have fun, live a normal, successful life, and bear little or no blame.
