Question Posted Saturday January 15 2005, 10:43 pm
I know that this might sound stupid but, today my mom was just telling me stuff that I don't know about my family, and she told me my sister got pregnant at the age of 21 (shes 28 now) and got an abortion, because she got pregnant not from being raped or anything, just with her boyfriends baby n stuff. I've been brought up to believe women have equal rights, and I have believed in abortions up until now. Knowing that I could've had a nephew//niece, and I don't because my sister got an abortion is really weird. I'm only 14, and I know I'm going to get a bunch of life altering situations, as this one. But, if my sister asks me one day if I believe in abortions, should I tell the truth, and say, no. or yes? Thanks.
Jess5764 answered Sunday January 16 2005, 6:26 pm: well you should tell the truth...but i def. think abortions are WRONG and its killing an innocent child because you made a mistake thats YOUR fault, not the baby's. If you don't want the baby give to an orphanage at least then it can live and you can maybe take care of it when you're ready. Another thing I don't understand is how some people can protest against the death penalty for people who deserve it but then be for the killing of an innocent, unborn child to eliminate moral consequences? w/e. just goes to show how incredibly umm...smart liberals are. whoa sorry got a little off topic but you're entitled to your opinion and you should tell your sis that you either do or don't believe in them its a personal opinion [ Jess5764's advice column | Ask Jess5764 A Question ]

LiTTLExHUNNY answered Sunday January 16 2005, 12:37 pm: you should still tell the truth . im sure it wont bother her that much because maybe she had to have an abortion because it wasnt the right time for her to be having a baby so she will understand that its what you believe in ..

She made her decision to have an abortion, and you don't agree with it. That's perfectly FINE. So if she asks, tell her =) [ aNgeLxfOrEvEr's advice column | Ask aNgeLxfOrEvEr A Question ]

jamziix16 answered Saturday January 15 2005, 11:25 pm: tell her what you believe in. abortion is killing somebody before they are actually born. and it's really sad. tell her however you feel, you shouldn't say what she wants you to say, just because she's had an abortion. hope i helped =) [ jamziix16's advice column | Ask jamziix16 A Question ]
FunnyCide answered Saturday January 15 2005, 11:12 pm: Sweetie, be honest! Say that you don't approve in abortions!!! I don't!! No matter who asked me they would (depending on status) get an answer similar to this, "WHAT!? HECK NO!! That's killing a totally innocent, tiny, baby person who has never had a chance to live!! Is that fair?! NO! How would you feel if your mom had aborted you? Oh, wait. You wouldn't feel, you wouldn't be alive!" And that's how I feel. So, I think that you should be honest, because you can't live life being afraid of "stepping on peoples toes" go ahead, stomp on them!! lol (I had a pastor like that, he was the most amazing teacher that is totally human) Just 'cause you don't want to hurt your sis isn't a reason to lie to her! That would hurt worse. Good luck!

MummuM answered Saturday January 15 2005, 10:58 pm: You should tell her the truth. No need to lie about that. But, I can see where she's coming from to get an abortion. She was raped and she wasn't planning on getting pregnant. I'm sure she didn't want to have a baby with the guy that raped her. But even though you have to tell her the truth if she brings it up.

Sherry answered Saturday January 15 2005, 10:56 pm: Tell the truth. Everyone has a right to believe what they want to believe. Thats your opinion and I dont think she would get mad at you if you told the truth. She's 28 and mature and wont shoot you for being against it. [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
