Abortions? Yay or Nay?

[rockslide26]

jesus christ thats horrifying

she breaks down crying and tells me to keep him away, to never let him come back, it's truly terrifying and all I can do is reassure her he won't ever
it's awful to witness and it hurts because I love her so much and she suffers still and there's nothing I can do

thanks

I can't believe there are 35 people here who think they should be able to control womens' bodies

it hurts her every day and she's a wonderful girl, I hate seeing her suffer so much from something that happened more than a decade ago, and I can't believe people who look down on victims of rape as "asking for it"
she was four goddamn years old
and she had to grow up then, when she was so young
it makes me physically ill to think about it

Wait so your girlfriend was impregnated at 4 years old? and had an Abortion? Am I reading this wrong?

no, she was too young to be pregnant

Alright that's what I thought I was just confused from this line of your post:

and some of you bastards think it would've been better for her to have a child

[rockslide26]

Alright that's what I thought I was just confused from this line of your post:

I meant if she were older at the time and were hypothetically capable of bearing a child

tell that to the many tens of thousands of foster care children living in horrible conditions still waiting for a

Better than being killed in the womb.
Wow, I said that before, and you removed it from the quote.

so a woman should be forced to hold a child for nine months because some guy entered her without her consent? get a hold of yourself, man, rape is painful and that just adds to the pain.

So, your basically saying "it's only ok if it's rape".

don't put words in my mouth, it's okay in most cases
and I have personal experience with being adopted over abortion, because I was adopted

adoption is stuffty, it's hard to process, I'm not going to bitch you out but I'd suggest you consider why you believe what you do

Consider yourself lucky you had a chance to live.

no, you don't know me, and you don't know how forgeted my life has been due to adoption
I have personally felt the effects of both rape and adoption, and these experiences have shaped how I feel on the subject of abortion

you're entitled to your opinion but don't cause hurt for others because of it

Gee, sorry for reminding you that you had smarter parents that didn't kill you.
You are all saying "but adoption ruins our childhood" well, you wouldn't be saying that if you had the option.

I've been attempting to maintain my composure here, but "smarter" is a relative term. Statistically speaking, in a study performed by a scientist by the name of Joel Cohen in 1971, titled, "Legal abortions, socioeconomic status, and measured intelligence in the United States," couples who opted for a legal abortion had a higher average IQ than couples who chose otherwise.

I don't want to lecture or scold you, and you can have whatever views you choose, but you must be able to back them up somehow, either through personal experience or a rational argument with statistics to show why adoption is marginally better for both the parents and child of such a scenario a reasonable percentage of the time.
