krisy said:You do make good points. There are definitely situations in which it would be extremely tough,like rape and the mothers life. Especially if she has other children. It is tough. In general,I just don't approve of women who get many abortions or don't take responsibility.
My mom was adopted at 2 months old in 1951. Her mother was a 16 year old girl and dad was in the service. Thank God she didn't have a back alley abortion and had my mom,otherwise I wouldn't be here today. My grandma and grandpa were the best anyone could have asked for and I thank God that these were the people that adopted my mom. We have never met my mom's biological parents and never tried although I have thought about it-but figure it's my mom's decision ultimately. I don't know what she went through with her prgnancy,but I know because she made a good choice,I am here today. My mom has had a good life and grew up with wonderful parents-I loved my granny so,so much. I know it doesn't always work out this great,but it can.
And this is the one situation that I can say, I would applaud the woman that gave your Mom up, rather than have an abortion. And yes, for not that, you wouldn't be here! I think more teaching on safe sex, and Mother's teaching their Daughters about the possibility of getting pregnant is the biggest issue of them all. Too many young girls are going out and having unsafe sex and then wind up in this situation and yes, fear of going home - and as Joan stated, I am sure there are many parents that would support their Daughter, but then again, there are many that wouldn't.
I also knew a sleaze bag that did get pregnant and decided to wait until she was 7 months and then aborted it, it sickened me to even think of it. This was a baby that would have survived and could have been adopted. I had my Daughter at 6 months, yes, she was only 3 pds., but she fought hard and today, you would never know she was premature.
Either way you look at it, it's a very tough topic and very tough thing, but I decided that I won't judge anyone without knowing why this person is doing what they are doing.
