Armor Games

But say it WAS considered to have you aborted, hypothetically, how would you feel? But I agree with you Raptor, if it's just not practical to have a child, there's nothing to be done. And about adoption, it's great, but there just aren't enough people out there who are looking to adopt to take all of the kids that someone has given birth to because they couldn't do anything about it. Here, you can insert the appropriate comment about abstinence, but I'm referring to the responsible portion of the public who can stand to go for a while without getting themselves or their partners pregnant.

blakboiballa, if you were abused and found out you were pregnat, would you even want to keep the baby? While yes, many people will, but what about those who are planning on finishing school, going to college, they'd have to completely change their life plans because of something like that. and once again I'm NOT talking about out-of control teens cause I think that's what you're talking about Lennywins, however I'm not quite sure :(

In those cases of molestation resulting in pregnancy, I still don't see why the baby should suffer for the actions of its father. Why should the child indeed suffer the death penalty for a crime it did not commit?

Now, I know we've been talking about irresponsible promiscuity vs. cases of molestation, but think about what percentage of unexpected pregnancies result from molestation as opposed to irresponsibility. If you look at only the molestation cases, there are definitely more than enough adoption opportunities to cover all of those. Now, if an irresponsible person got pregnant, she shouldn't burden another person with the result of her mistake. She should leave the adoption opportunities for the ones who need it and carry the burden herself.

Of course I'm not a woman, but if I got pregnant as a result of abuse, sure, I would feel "violated," but I would not feel "vile," because it wasn't my fault, or the baby's. I would keep the baby even in that case, because I couldn't live with myself if I chose abortion. And even if I were planning to finish school, I know I could do it with the help of my friends. Anyone can do the same.

Hmmm... Good point. My arguments cancel each other out. But you summed up what I meant anyways. Those that are irresponsible should carry the weight, not dump it off on someone else and do it again. THOSE are the people that really grind my gears.

Hmm, Carlie, I guess I can answer that. I am not against any form of pre-conceptive birth control, however, I am against the Day After Pill, because it kills a life that had already been created.

Wow, people are posting so fast that if I try to respond to something, by the time I've typed it up there are already three posts between mine and the one I'm responding to. Guess I should just type faster...

oi, that's what I said in the beginning!!! XD either way, I'm not changing my mind, while the child does yes get the 'death penalty', as you call it, but think of it like this, if the mother lets the child live, she will never truely love that child the way she could love a child not forced and ect upon her, therefore, it would be better that the child dnot be born, lest suffer the sad eyes of the mother when they fall upon the child

understand my logic?
