Abortion needs to remain legal, but I think the guidlines are WAY too leinent. They allow them up to like 20 weeks, which is MORE than enough time to make up your freaking mind. The baby is completely formed by then! I think 8 weeks should be the cutoff.
As for teens…if they can pawn the babies off on their parents, they should, but not everyone is that lucky.

i believe that if a teen thinks they are ready to have sex and they aren’t responsible enough to use condoms every time that they should at least be grown enough to talk to a parent about getting on birth control. however, i also believe that no matter how hard we try mistakes are still going to happen and abortion is and should be legally and option. in the event that a teen becomes pregnant they need to take responsibilty, tell their parents, and discuss options together. i believe my opinion is ‘correct’ because i believe that it is every person’s right to chose what to do with their baby, their body, and their life and that it doesnt have an affect on us so we shouldn’t have any say so about it.

The first thing I would advice a pregnant teen girl do, is go to a Crisis Pregnancy Center, NOT Planned Parenthood.
A crisis center will educate a girl with all her options and give her free counsel, (while Planned Parenthood will encourage her to get an abortion.)
Since the maturity levels, financial situations, and family support vary among teens, a girl needs to be counseled on her particular situation.
Though abortion is legal, I feel that it is 100% wrong. Just as slavery (once thought to be perfectly acceptable) was outlawed, I pray abortion will be as well.
Abortion is plain and simple— the killing of a human life. It’s sad when people give more value to the life of a whale (I love whales, too!), that to that of a human life.
Should a mother kill her child because she isn’t “ready” to be a parent?
Shouldn’t her womb be the safest place in the world for her baby?
There is little discussion about the trauma women suffer for years and years following their abortion(s), but it is a very real problem.

1) If they are financially stable and have a job and all that then I don’t blame them to try and bring their kid up. I don’t agree with them palming all the upbringing on their parents and having benefits.
2) I think abortion should stay legal. Why enforce pregnancy on someone who doesn’t want it? In a way if someone is stupid enough to get pregnant they should keep it but if you are raped or having a baby puts your life at risk then you should be allowed.

I don’t think teens should be getting pregnant anyways. If they do shame on them. Life is full of choices there’s good and bad choices. And that’s just a terrible choice to make. With the exception of sexual abuse. I don’t have any sympathy for pregnant teens at all. I don’t support abortion if it has to do with the teen being ” to young , self , or any other stupid excuse. Its selfish for anyone to have an abortion just because they don’t want to have a baby , or because the father isn’t around. If your not stable give it up for adpotion ; don’t kill your baby EVER!. They can someday grow up and be useful to the community or change the world…

1.What do you think a teen should do about being pregnant? Well, ideally, I would like them to have a great extended family willing to pick up the slack that will be there, to carry the child through, and be raised in a loving family. However, that is likely not going to happen, so at the very least, I would like to see it up for adoption, but abortion is a legitimate choice from my view.
2. Why do you think your opinion on abortion is correct and why should abortion be legal/illegal? I think I am correct because it is none of my business what she does. She could get really drunk and throw herself down the stairs to try and trigger a miscarriage, there is no reason why she shouldn’t be able to receive medical care for the issue. It is her body, and a fetus is, by all technical definitions, a parasite living off of her. It is entirely up to her whether she wants to allow it to continue (up to a point, at a certain stage of development, the child may be viable, if premature, and should have effort made to deliver it safely.)
I don’t like the idea of abortion, and I would not suggest it to anyone. But it isn’t my place to tell anyone else what they have to let live inside their body.

I’m a teen mom. Got pregnant at 14. It isn’t fair to say what one should or shoudn’t do. People are in many different situations. I kept my son but my boyfriend and I are capable of caring for him. Other people don’t have that ability (no job, not in school, no support, etc)
It really depends on the teens stability and how responsible they are, mental age is important. It really just depends on how capable one is, not there age.
As for abortions, they should remain legal but only up to a certain amount of months, 3 at the most. Some people really can’t take care of a baby and don’t have any other options.

1. Every teen is different. Some are capable and strong enough to raise a child, and some are less capable. This doesn’t mean they should have an abortion, give a child up for adoption or keep it…Everyone matures at a different level and different people have different priorities. Babies can do wonderful things to people, make them work harder, finish school faster, get better-higher paying jobs, etc. Others may take advantage of the people around them, the government services, etc. If a teen reasonably feels that a baby would be beneficial for them, they have the ability to support the child not only financially but also mentally, can sustain a status of living that is suitable for a baby, a child, a teen…and realizes that a baby is not always a baby, but entails a lifelong journey…then by all means, they are ready. However, the great thing about our country is the choice…it takes a real woman to have the strength to make the choice to abort or put their child up for adoption. A child is an innocent being and shouldn’t be forced into a situation that a mother feels wouldn’t be safe, suitable or beneficial to the child because of a law against the choice, or a woman’s right.
2. Abortion should not be a legal form of birth control, instead it should be a practice as a last resort-providing teens with birth control, family planning advice and sexual education has been shown to decrease teen pregnancy. Numerous abortions are NOT healthy in any form, either with the actual abortion pill (used before 9 weeks of gestation) or the surgery procedures…both cause stress on the uterus and can cause ruptures later in life which can possibly cause death. Because of this fact, abortions should be more closely monitored, however telling a pregnant teen that she HAS to raise a baby or HAS to give it up for adoption because the abortion is illegal is just not fair. I don’t condone the act, it’s not FOR me, but I can justify why a woman that is so strong would make the decision…it’s not killing a baby, it’s saving 2 innocent lives…a mother that is still considered a child in the government’s eyes, and a baby that may otherwise not have had the chance at adequate care.

i personally think that there isn’t exactly anything wrong with pre marital sex, i think that if you’re really in love, then you don’t have to be married to have sex
but i also think that pregnancy from teen sex is careless, but all things happen for a reason
1. i think a teen should do whatever they can, as in they should look at their financial status, how the boyfriend or father feels, and how her and that boy’s parents feel
2. abortion is a sad thing, because of course, it’s a life going to waste, but at the same time, sometimes you’re not ready

I will try to give a balanced answer.
1.) If at all possible, I would recomend a pregnant teen make the decision with her parents, if not, with a relative or friends mom.
2.) it all depends on whether the fetus is a person at conception or not. If so- no question- abortion is murder. If human life begins later than abortion is not murder and not wrong. Either way, it should be legal because if its not then abortions will be preformed in back alleys and teens will be in more danger.

1.What do you think a teen should do about being pregnant – They should be able to make their own choice, but involve their parents.
2. Why do you think your opinion on abortion is correct and why should abortion be legal/illegal – Abortion should be legal, otherwise women will start getting illegal ones done. If it goes wrong and she dies, it wouldn’t be her fault, she should have been able to access one legally.

1.They should take responsibility for it. They made the mistake. They should have to get a job, pay for daycare, and still go to school. They can’t expect their parents to take care of something that’s not theirs. It’s their kids, their responsibility. If they cant handle having a job, then they need to think about abortion/adoption so someone who can take care of a baby and wants one can have one.
2.Abortion should remain legal, and it always will. When abortion was illegal, women would get it done by “doctors” who honestly had no idea what they were doing, and then when they would want to have a baby, they wouldn’t be able to, or having the abortion done incorrectly would kill them. I, personally, would never getting an abortion (unless I was pregnant at a very young age, or I was raped). I just think it seems like murder, seeing as if you kill a pregnant woman, it counts as two murders. But I can understand why girls get abortions. They get raped, are very young, etc. And I know this isn’t a question, but am I pro-choice or pro-life? I would have to say I am pro-choice.
Sorry if that didn’t really make any sense. I also hate it when men try to get their girlfriends to get an abortion because they don’t want the kid, and having a kid will “ruin their life”. It’s the girl’s body, the girl’s choice. Any man that tries to force his girlfriend (or anyone that tries to force a woman to have an abortion) is a jack ass.

What a teen should do about being pregnant is be educated, prevention is worth so much! Hopefully, sex education will improve (no more abstinence only) so that less will find themselves pregnant due to ignorance.
Good luck on your study.
1. She should really sit down and think about what would be right for her. Two futures are at stake, she needs to consider if she can emotionally, physically, mentally, and financially support a pregnancy. If yes, she should consider if she wants to put it up for adoption or keep it, keeping the good of everyone in mind. She should talk to a doctor and hopefully an adult she can trust, and hopefully a supportive boyfriend. But everything doesn’t always go that way.
2. Abortion should always be an available option. Making abortion illegal reduces women to incubators, turns the beauty of pregnancy and childbirth into something ugly and forced, and does not even reduce abortions, statistically. It is truly a very personal choice that when it comes down to it, is up to the woman/teen. The government should not govern reproductive choices, and neither should ignorant zealots on their high horses.

I feel like abortion is horrible. Its murdering an inocent child. If you get pregant adoption is an option, but please do not have an abortion.

1. Get an abortion.
2. Abortion should be legal because no one should be forced to carry a baby that they don’t want. Kids make mistakes, but I would punish them with nine months of shame and 18 years of pain.
That would be the same as me cutting of my little sister’s hand for stealing a cookie. The punishment is way to much for the crime.
And those who say “if you’re old enough too have sex you old enough to have a kid.” Well, let say took someone’s wallet while they weren’t looking. You wouldn’t put that five year out in jail would you?
I would hope that the mother and/or father would care enough about their little girl not to force to have a kid.
