OK, I said the "a" word I know most of us have a strong opion or another about abortion. Being one who had a child at 15, and then having my daughter who just had a child at 15, it may surprise some of you to learn I am extremely pro-choice. I know a lot of our opinions are in conjunction with, or oposing our religious affiliations, or because of how we feel about our children. Or horror stories of those children who were not wanted. All our opinions are worthy of being heard, and being respected ***ONE REQUEST. PLEASE DO NOT POST PICCIES OF ABORTION PROCEDURES, OR ABORTED FETUSES, THAT IS NASTY, AS i KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN SOME LADIES ON HERE WHO HAVE HAD ABORTIONS. I DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM EITHER*** |

I was born to a 13 year old mother and then had my own child at 16 years old. I don't regret either of those births. For myself personally, I never could abort, I was a product of a violent rape and my mother could have chosen another path, thank goodness she didn't. I am however pro choice, I think in the end its the mothers choice and she needs to be informed and educated so that she makes the best choice for her. |

I had a very oppressive mother who wanted me to live her life via my body
I met my first hub at age 18 married at 18 1/2 and got pregnant 4 months after marriage my mother was mortified as I was trying to make a stand to her for all the wrong reasons. suffice to say she got her own way and bullied me into having my baby aborted, it happened on 22nd feb 1984 my dads birthday which tore me apart, my father came to see me at the hospital and we cried together after the procedure was over, he supported me all the way through, even said i sud have stood up to her and said no and he would have helped me all he could, bit late shutting the door after the horse had bolted wasnt it, I still get very emotional at times now as to what if and who would my child have been like etc etc. As you can see I havent said my mother came o the hospital have I well it just goes to show what a callous bitch she is I was left to it, apart from her ringing on about 6 ocassions during the day to check I had gone through with it, according to her it was to chck I was ok. NOT a Mother thing caring on her way anyway.
I hate the word termination, abortion or anything to do with it as it is not a form of contraception like my mother used it for for me, I mean I was married and working so what was the problem I wasnt a naive little girl was I. What a bully she was and still is now. the ironic thing is I was pregnant again12 months to the day more or less after, I was caught on the pill and I stood my ground this time and JJ is now just turned 18
Abortion is fine if it is on medical grounds and the baby or mother are in danger, I do say let people have their choice as we do live in a free society as you can tell personally I would never do it again and believe me if I could turn the clock back I would for sure

i had two kids, and was in an abusive relationship. I got pregnant, right after getting my apprenticeship. Keeping the baby would have me dependant again, and give up a chance at the life i could give me and my kids. I had an abortion, I don't regret it for a second!!!!! Was the absolute right thing to do, for me. I am just glad that we have them now, on demand, and safe, and without humiliation. BTW, I was on birth control for over 2 years when I got pregnant, but had been taking medication for a UTI, and the pharmisist didn't tell me that it could affect my birth control pill. Now I am in a good relationship, and I have 3 kids. |

For the most part I'm very pro choice... I couldnt do it myself though... I say let the women decide its her body and her life and she must decide whats best for her, her family and her life at the time ... I'm dead against using abortion as a form of contraception....I also believe that an underage child should get an abortion if thats what her parents or gaurdians think thats the right thing for her. As you know we dont have abortion here and a good few years ago a young girl 12 i think she was, was stopped and not allowed go for an abortion the law and courts were brought into it. A fooking disgrace it was who the hell do they think they are stopping her Grrrrrr it made me so mad.. I know it must be an awful and agonising decision for a women to make and afterall she must live with her decision for the rest of her life so who are we or anyone else to judge .... |

This is something I feel very strongly about. I dont agree with abortion unless on medical grounds either for mother or child. Saying that the older I get the more I can understand why some women feel this is the right choice for them. I cannot tolerate women who use abortion as a form of contaception. With all the types we have now days there is no excuse for this. It is a womans choice to choose however. And I'm quite sure that anyone whos ever been in this situation has thought long and hard about it. I've had a couple of scares and being on very toxic meds, which could seriously harm an unborn child have thought about what I would do if in this situation. I can honestly say I dont know.

I had a termination in 2002 as i was sterilized and 4 months later i fell pregnante. It was a tough decision as i am in a very loving and stable relationship. (been married 13 years) But i was sterilized because i have a beautiful son and daughter and at 33 felt my family was complete. I dont regret my decision as it was right for me, but i do still think about the baby at times. Lisa |

Not sure on this subject. I dont know anybody who has had an abortion but i dont think that everybody who has one has a straight forward life. I think that in some circumstances it is the only choice. I suppose if somebody was to keep getting pregnant and having an abortion that would be wrong. As there are choices against getting pregnant. I just think that a person who makes this decision doesn't have it easy whatever they decide. |
