Sucks to be you. You gambled with the unprotected sex, you lost.

Best thing, really, would be to give the kid up for adoption as soon as she has it. That way parents who really do want a kid and are better equiped to care for it than you are can get their shot at things. There is also the potential for less emotional tramua as your GF will not have to live with the fact that her first baby is dead at her own behest. The 9 months of pregnancy will do wonders for teaching the both of you to use protection the next time as well.

People always talk about responsiblity for actions and taking it, here. What they always forget is sometimes our actions have unpleasent consequences and the "quick fix" isn't always the best solution.

Sorry, i'm trying to hold myself back. Unfortunately abortion is a very touchy subject with me as I know that ANYONE can take care of their kids and that killing them (AKA Abortion) should not be an option if you accidentally got pregnant. If all else fails, give the child up to adoption.

Do you know the stages of pregnancy?
Do you know what happens when one has an abortion?

But what if you have an abortion before it even becomes/looks like a child? Like have it a month in the pregnancy? Sometimes it's best for parents to do this if they have no money or no way of supporting them.

It really makes no difference to me if the baby looks like a child or not, it still is one regardless. Not trying to flame you on that one, just my point of view on it.

As far as parents doing it because they can't support them is bullcrap. Yes, parents may have to sacrifice a few things. I was 17, had no job, played basketball in high school.... ended up getting a minimum wage job and with very little help was able to support my child.

If I can do it while in school, surely someone who is out of school would be able to do it. And it may be hard if your in school, but its not unrealistic, BECAUSE I DID IT.

Can't you find something more worthwhile to do than imposing your "i am mr right, i am a man so i know what it is like for a pregnant woman" BS on others?

People who spew this bs should be put in mental institutions, throw away the key.

I don't agree on an abortion being just "removing an unwanted lump of mass, nothing more" but yeah, who can tell you "Abortion is NOT a choice"? How about the choice of not listening to your dumb ass?

I have never witnessed this first hand, I do know some things about it. If you are researching when a baby actually becomes a baby, i don't care. When you have sex and the sperm enters the egg, I consider it a baby.

So in other words your not bothered by knowing you killed two of your own kids?

Exactly, i MURDERED THEM. It gave me great pleasure MURDERING them.

Until you are in this situation where YOU choose if you are going to have an abortion or not, i suggest you just grow up and shut up.

I whole heartedly agree with the second half of your statement. I've also been there. However, embryo's aren't children. They are cells... matter... what you would not do is your prerogative.

I'll say what I always say regarding abortion. It's no one business but the person having one or contemplating having one. Everyone else would mind their own goddamn business. Including myself.

Did you chart it out on the calendar? You can figure out the period in which she was most fertile. Maybe the supposed conception date happened on a date that she was not that fertile. If it was a week before her projected Period, then your chances are less than, say, it being 2 weeks after her last Period.

It is a POTENTIAL baby, but so is every sperm and every egg.

Taking the responsibility to have protected sex or use other forms of birth control is the acting grown up part. Having an abortion as it would be more convenient to one's life being so young is completely irresponsible. I abhor that line of thinking.

If he was man enough to stick his dick in her, he's man enough to raise a child.

Prove your a man, take care of your child!

I despise these threads. It isn't until these types of threads pop up I realize just how immature most of you guys really are.

For both your sakes I hope it's just a missed period.


Amen to that. I got my 18 year old girlfriend pregnant when I was 20. I didn't whine, I didn't even consider abortion. I got a fvcking job and I did what a responsible person would do. Why is that so hard for some people to do?

Maybe her profession doesnt cover the cost. Either way, not your business.

Same here. I was 20 when I got married and I had a daughter already. Now, that daughter is 16 years old, has her first real job, getting good grades in school, went thru her "first love" relationship, is about to learn how to drive, sings in Chorus in school, has plans for the future, and just lights up my life!

I shudder to think at not having been able to experience the last 16 years with her (her first tooth, word, walking, vaccination, Christmas, vacation, first day of school, etc. etc.)

Of course you do, yet you have never ever been in that situation, you never will be and until you even have the capability TO be, nothing you say can ever touch me.

I find it amusing that people are talking about murdering innocent babies, but when a women was raped it is ok to murder innocent babies.

Of course it was irresponsible of me to get pregnant, but i did get pregnant, i took care of it, i made my choice, because it is MY choice, not yours, and you can save your holier than thou attitude for someone who cares.

The cost? $20/mo. for the pill? If one can't afford that, one certainly doesn't need to be in a relationship to the point that sex is involved with the possibility of having a child (children cost just a WEE bit more than $20/mo.) And when my tax dollars go to cover the health clinic where the abortion is performed, sure it's my business.

It should be everyone's business to foster responsible thinking and it's not just the woman's decision in the matter. The father-to-be has just as much right to decide the baby's future. Just because a woman is the one who carries the baby does not give her carte blanche to have an abortion to make her life more *convenient*.

I knew it....the "pregnant by rape escape clause". I'd love to see some stats on the # of abortions performed on women who became pregnant from a rape. I'd be willing to bet $100 it's < 1%. Did you even give the father any say in the matter?

Because not all people are as callous as you. The father's future is just as affected as the mother's. And, yes, many men in this world do care!
