Hard question to answer. Having an abortion is not something that I would ever consider, but also raising a child who is going to be dependant on drugs is not something I would do either.  I think that you should not judge your cousin.  She is probably being judged enough as it is.  Hopefully having an abortion will be a wake-up call for her. If not, hopefully she will at least have enough sense to not put another baby in the same situation.

One look on Yahoo Answers and you'll see the slime that parents are producing today. The number of 12,13,14 and 15 year old's on this site that say they are pregnant or want to get pregnant or are asking how better to give it up for their bF make me want to choke them and their parents to death. These little girls and boys think because they can *uck it and *uck it that makes them adults. NO insurance NO job NO father for their kids NO future NO Nothing. But they sure expect there child support and food stamps. And then the government lets the PUNK guy that knocked her up move into subsidized housing with her and GET HER PREGNANT AGAIN. WTF????

I did. and i don't wanna say it's was the 'WRONG TIME' because when is the "RIGHT TIME"? at the time i was young, just finishing High School, she was about to go away to college. Money would've been tight, our lives would've been different. that does not mean, however, that it would've been bad. We could've had a beautiful Pre teen child today. and to this day she's one of my best friends. and when we talk about it now we regret deciding to abort. for this reason i am no longer Pro Abortion.

yeah, but answer this....if a woman was raped, should she be forced to give birth to the child of her rapist and have that constant reminder? that is the truly sick thing in this situation. and even if it was just a highschool girl who did an irresponsible thing.....why ruin her life AND the life of her unborn child?? i am totally and completely prochoice, and believe that abortion should absolutely be legalized.

I think anything that can cure a person should be explored,and abortion is not a bad thing,after all who want to keep an unwanted child no matter the situation.\n\nI would not want another child brought into this world,it is going to do nothing but get worse no matter what anyone says.

I have not heard about this, but how it has saddened me that a whole childhood has now been lost. I wonder how she will ever cope. Of course the questions come to mind, where were her parents, where did she get the alcohol, who gave it to her etc. But what concerned me most was what type of person ( if not another young, immature child) would take advantage of a child that age no matter what state or condition she was in. God my daughter is 11 the thought of pregnancy at that age terrifies me let alone the reality. Where were the responsible adults. I hope if the other party to this was old enough to know better, he gets whats coming to him. The decisions and responsibilities this child is now faced with are far to heavy for her to even comprehend. There effects will be far reaching. How can one expect an 11 yr old child to understand those actions or the consequences. Good lord this has made me so very sad. We will be praying for her physical and emotional safety and well being. Plse do the same.

Is the cousin who is making the outcry an adult or a teen?  If under the age of 18, you are supposed to report the outcry to Child Protective Services, even if she has a history of lying or whatever in the past.  Doesn't mean she doesn't deserve to be believed.\n\nAlso, is the alleged perpetrator around children currently?  If so you have even more of an obligation to report it, to keep those children safe.\n\nStuff like this does hurt families, but it is better to deal with the problem than to just ignore it.

I think if your attitude is honorable and not smart alec like "hey dad, I got your girl pregnant...." that you'll be ok.  Good ol dad needs to know you really love his daughter and that you will take care of her and the baby.  It's all in your attitude, believe me.  As far as telling then in front of everyone, I don't know.  I think it would be great, but that's just me.  If her family does one of those go around the table to tell what you are thankful for you could break it then by saying something like you are so thankful for being a part of their daughter's life and that it will soon be 3 of you not just 2 of you.  Just love on everyone and be positive...it'll come back to you.  Good luck!

you know I am not the type of person that really has a problem with other people having their own opinion, but this is just outrageous.. on the web huh?? I has 3 miscarriages before my first son was born and I can tell you that they were most definitely not fully formed. It looked like a mass of blood, there was no shape. AND what about women who have been the victims of rape/incest or have medical problems and may die if they continue with the pregnancy ? Force a woman to carry a baby for 9 moths and remind her of a brutal rape??? Or force her to face eminent death ?? Come on now, be reasonable, most pro-choice people are and don't try to jam their beliefs down your throat, why do you insist on jamming yours down everyone Else's??\n\nAdditional:\n\nTo Orchid, I NEVER told YOU that your daughter was a blob of tissue, I was very upset when I miscarried my first 3 pregnancies as well. I just said , I SAW it, I didn't have it  "sucked" out like you stated, it came out in my own home and although it may have had limbs, it looked like a mass of blood, or a huge blood clot. You see, I would personally never have an abortion, but I DON'T believe you or anyone else has the right to tell me I must carry a baby that was the product of rape, etc because it's "murder" if I don't. You cry adoption, etc. that is your opinion and I respect your opinion, I however know that there are millions of children that are still waiting to be adopted. You have your opinion and I have mine, no need to attack me, as I did not attack anyone either. Respect me and I respect you. We live in a diverse world. How is it ok for you to say woman can't say it's their bodies, but you want to inflict your own values and outlaw abortion?

didn't see the supermodels question, but i get what you mean.  i believe it's called a condition of "diarrhea of the mouth," translated into words on the screen.  just going off without knowing what they're talking about is the absolute trend here.  most days i don't let it get to me, but i have my days where i'm in total bee-yatch mode and try to correct every error i see.  it's a waste of time and energy to do so, since all you get are immature responses generated more for a laugh from the group around the computer, rather than providing a well-thought-out and logical response to the question.  i get the differences between the two groups, conservative and liberal, as a generality.  get this, ... i'm a baptized, non-practicing catholic who firmly believes that abortion is murder, yet, i'm logical enough to realize that it's ultimately the parents' choice regarding abortion/adoption, etc.  thanks for the soap box.  hope you get some satisfying answers here.  blessed be!

Even though the girl is still a minor, she needs to give consent for this procedure.  The staff at the abortion clinic should discuss this with her in private, and if she lets them know that she is against the abortion, they will not perform the procedure.\n\nThe baby's father has no say in the child until the child is born and he is legally named the father.

How about this.\n\nI am personally opposed to abortion, but know where my business ends and someone Else's starts.\n\nLove and blessings Don

I have been blessed with having my parents still with me. My little cousins, however, are a different story. My paternal cousin's husband had killed her, and then he committed suicide. They left three young children all under the age of 10 at that time. Fortunately, they have an uncle (another cousin) and a grandma (my uncle's former wife) that are raising them. Of course, they will never know how much a biological parent can give to a child. Then again, I have heard horror stories of what biological parents do to their kids. Really, it's all about how the situation is. It could have been much worse, and the kids might have been split up and put out for adoption. The key is trying to make the best out of any situation. At least the kids were not involved.

dont have an abortion.  it would probably be hard considering how conservative the country is compared to the west.  however there are not places to help with the child like there are in the us.  best bet is probably to just do your best or move to the states for a short time but im not aware of any law

I have 3 siblings, two are brothers and one is a sister, I am a girl, too. So in my family my mother had 4 children. When I am older I only want one child, because two or more seems just way too much for me. I want to adopt my child from Peru, too. She will be a girl, and I will name her Fate, or Faith. If I get married probably Faith, but if not Fate. Yeah, I kinda have my whole life planned already, but who knows what will really happen.\n\nJust because I am such an open person, I will tell you all of my plans. =) Okay, first off I will go to college and learn all about therapy and things like that, I want to either be a massage therapist or physical therapist. Anyways, once I get a job I will move somewhere by the mountains, and have a cabin to myself there. I dont plan to get married, because I just dont do well with the opposite sex. Anyways, so when I feel I have my life in a good place I will adopt my child from Peru, and name her little Fate Morgan. Or Faith Morgan... anyways. I will take defense classes and learn how to defend myself, and I will buy a rifle, for protection only! Yeah, my life sounds cool, huh? =)\n\nIf you want to talk to me about this email me at goodbye.heartache@yahoo.com, love to hear from you!
