alright so heres the situation.
im 15/f and pretty sure im pregnant.
i havent told anyone yet except my ex boyfriend.(we broke up a couple weeks ago)
if i keep the baby, people will think of me as a slut and whore and my relatives would probably not be supportive at all, but if i got an abortion i might feel guilty and i might regret it later in life.. but im 15 my ex boyfriends almost 18..but hes really calm about it and we would probably get back together if we decided to have it.. but i really dont know. but anyways i want to know other peoples view on abortion.

I am Catholic so naturally I'm going to say no abortion. Just like other people have said, the baby could grow up to be a great person! Adoption is an alternative. Since you and your boyfriend broke up, it would be silly to be unhappy with him just for the baby. Plus I read in my health class that having an abortion at a young age, like 14-16, could be bad for you in the long run because it would be bad for your cervix which has not fully developed yet. I say that you should adopt the baby so that you can stay in school. You could talk with your parents and see if they wouldn't mind watching the child while you go to school. Some high schools even offer child care services for teen mothers. And if you decide you want to put the baby up for adoption, and at birth you don't want to do it, worse case they'll get mad at you. There's a movie out on lifetime called 16 (or 17) and Pregnant. It has Kirstin Dunst in it and it is a great movie!Hope I helped you out!

I would definitely not have an abortion.
There are TONS of people out there that want a baby but can't have their own.
Your baby may turn into a WONDERFUL person!!
I have 8 siblings and I LOVE IT!! Children are SUCH a JOY! I plan on have a bunch of children and adopting a bunch too!!
I would adopt ANY baby like THAT!! I would adopt yours too!
I hope this helps you on your journey!

Ok, i don't want you to think im another 1 of those people who go all "abortion is horrible, blah, blah, blah" but think of it this way, your baby could grow up to be an amazing person! There are tons of great places to call and see that help young mothers and it will be hard but being a mother is amazing! If you abort the child i think you will never forget and regret it. You are taking away the life of a innocent baby who, no matter what, will always love you. Think not just about the problems but of the joy. You can give the baby up for adoption and if you want stay connected with your child while he/she lives with the other family and later have more kids. But please don't kill the baby because that baby could grow up to do so much!A doctor or lawyer, scientist! Or even just a wife/husband with a family of their own 1 day! 1 of my really good friend's mother got pregnant when she was 16 but they have a great relationship and love each other very much! She had to live with her grandparents for a while because her mom and dad never married but she is very happy with her life and i can't imagine what it would be like is she was aborted! Please tell us what you decided!!! :D If you have any other question leave me a message in my inbox!
And you should really check out this site: www.pregnancycenters.org it has info about pregnancy and abortion and has a phone line for 24/7 and a place that finds the closest place that helps women you are pregnant and stuff! Please tell me what happens!!! :D

PLEASE dont get an abortion, its murder and should be illegal.
have the baby, if you dont think you are responsible enough, or ready to have a baby (you are really young) put it up for adoption. there are hundreds of couples out there who arent able to have a baby and are more than willing to adopt.

i def. feel that you should keep the baby. there will be many many life changes but think about how unfair it is to that baby. it will be your own child and i think you will have so many regrets if you kill it. hopefully you will be able to talk to your mom or relative and they will help you out on everything. this is my opinion that i feel real strongly about so please just think it through before you make your decision. good luck with everything.

In my opinion, I say you should get an abortion & here are my reasons:
If you choose to give birth to the baby, you can hurt the baby and you.
If you keep the baby, you're going to have many problems such as staying in school, supporting the baby, finding free time for yourself, etc. You're basically going to miss out on your teen years and skip to adulthood if you keep the baby. And seeing that you're only 15, I think you want to live a little more with fun, right? And having a child at such an age might be bad for the baby later on in the future.
If you give birth and put it up for adoption, it's going to be a painful process and you'll probably end up changing your mind to keeping the baby at the last minute, thus creating the above problems.
If you do abortion, although it would hurt you emotionally, it would be better for you as a whole. You'll still go through high school and graduate, you wouldn't have to worry about earning enough money for the baby, et, etc.
I really do think you should go for abortion because it will be the best for you, your baby, and your baby's father.

I don't see anything wrong with getting an abortion, it's going to be REALLY hard to take care of a child at your age. And most people that have a kid at your age don't end up having a very good career later on. Most people will say "OmGZ AbOrTioN Is WrOnG!!" but you don't get an abortion after the baby is developed and has lungs and a brain and all that you get it before that. So, I'd say get an abortion because if you have a child at your age it will completley change your life.

i would get the abortion. you are only 15, and keeping the baby could ruin your life! you could have no possibility for a future like going to college and working would be hard becuase youd have a child to take care of. not to mention, that your only 15! you are young, and you still have the rest of your life to have a child, so i don't know why youd regret having an abortion on this child. also keep in mine that you said you broke up with your boyfriend. so the baby wouldn't get to see his father a lot which is bad for him. if you do ever think youll regret it, just remember you can always have another baby, but once its born, your stuck with huge responsibilities (not to mention that babies and diapers cost a lot of money)

I think you should keep the baby but being so young at 15 you need to know how to take care of a baby and all the responsibilties it comes with. Your family might be a little hesitant about it at first but they'll still stick by you on whatever you decide. It doesnt matter what people say. If they say your a whore or slut let it be this is none of their buisness and they shouldnt influence your decision in any way. Personally i think abortion is literary killing a live human being. You could always have the baby and raise it yourself with your boyfriend and find some support from someone whos already had kids and could help you or try going to a premother program where they teach you everything you know about having a baby. Or if you dont think you can take up the responsibility of a baby you could adopt it out to a couple who is ready to be parents. Its clearly you and your boyfriends choice on what to do but i dont think abortion is the right method to do.

personally, i am pro-choice. So, obviously i would tell you to get the abortion. Only because by keeping it it would virtually ruin the rest of your life. Your friends would view you differently , your family would, the whole world would see you as a teenage mother and people automatically judge you. Plus, once its born you can pretty much forget about having a life, youll be taking care of the baby. And forget about college and being able to get a good job that will support you so you can live a comfortable life. Some people can make it work but most cant. And the cfhances of ou and your ex staying together in the long run is extremely slim. So, i think the abortion would be the best choice, even though of course youll feel guilty and all of those things but in the end, when yor older and really ready to have a kid, youll appreciate your decision.
