In a hypothetical situation, if I had a
teenage daughter who became pregnant, she
would have three choices: abort, give it
up for adoption, or keep it and move out.
The emphasis here is choice. She
chose to have sex and get pregnant
therefore she can choose between those
three options as a result.
If she chose to keep the child, then she
would no longer be living in my house.
If she feels she is mature and
responsible enough to give birth and have
a child, then she can be mature and
responsible enough to be on her own and
hold down a job.
Of course, i'm 100% pro-choice and i'm all
for sex education in the schools (not just
abstinence-only crap) and I really don’t
think parents communicate enough with
their kids on anything, much less sex.
They think if they don’t talk about it
or they simply tell their child not to do
it and forbid them to use birth control,
they’ll keep them from having sex and
their kids will stay innocent little
angels forever. I wonder when these
parents will wake up and realize that
method is not working? Anyway, having
said that, any daughter I would have in a
hypothetical situation would probably not
end up pregnant because she would have the
protection and contraceptives she needs
and there would be an open communication
policy. Teenagers, for the most part,
end up pregnant as a result of dishonest
or negligent parenting.
Nobody is forcing anyone into abortion,
here. Adoption is a perfectly viable
option. Teenagers have no business
having and raising children, whether they
have the help of their parents or not.
Too often, they dump off the baby with
their parents and go partake in the
activities suitable for their age they
would otherwise be enjoying had they not
ended up pregnant. The children of
teenage mothers often grow up to be
teenage mothers themselves because they
are raised in such an unfavorable, awkward
environment.
I find it ironic that so many pro-life
people trumpet the adoption solution, but
then freak at the notion that a young girl
should have to give her baby up for
adoption in order to stay in the good
graces of her parents.
For what it's worth, some of the people in
this forum who are opposing cambion's
opinion may come across as a bit more
credible if they could figure out how to
use proper grammar and
punctuation.
wow another hypocrite pops out of the
woodwork.You lot make me laugh, how can
you even call yourself pro choice, when
you say it's my way or the highway.That is
not choice, so all pro lifers are the same
as you lot, you can have the choice just
limited to adoption [ which if you had of
read, instead of just jumping in with both
feet, you would of seen that cambion made
no mention of adoption just two choices,
hers and everything is cool or keep the
baby and be thrown out] or keeping the
child.I am amazed that so many pro
choicers would try and control someones
life in such a way.I has stated before
would support my daughter no matter what
she decided.You do not throw your child
out like a dirty rag because they do not
do what you want.

what, I think you need to come back to
kansas dorothy, are you saying that the
decision to abort is made by children
only, what a laugh.Choosing to have an
abortion is a decision made by adults
aswell or are you saying anyone who has an
abortion is immature.I think that is so
derogatory to those who have found
themselves in the
situation.
wow. The stupidity amazes me.
In no way would I be controlling my
daughter's life. I simply would not be
giving her the option to live with me any
longer should she choose to have the baby
and keep it. She can make whatever
choice she wants. She just would not be
allowed to live with me should she keep
her baby.
I can't help it if your stunted brain
can't grasp that concept. If you would
support your daughter no matter what, then
bully for you. You get the parent of the
year award.
A major problem with parents today is that
they do support everything their child
does without any disapproval - i.E. They
let their kids get away with everything
and give them no guidance or restriction,
which is how so many teenagers end up
pregnant, on drugs, or in trouble with the
law in the first place.
And no, I did not say that only children
abort, you made that assumption on your
own. Adults abort too. All three of
those options are adult decisions, and to
be perfectly honest with you, regardless
of whichever one my daughter would choose,
she would from that moment forward be an
adult and be expected to handle herself
like one.

No that is not controlling anybody.
Sorry but maybe she should have thought of
how badly she wanted to live under my roof
before she got pregnant. In fact,
letting her live with me and do whatever
she wants would be letting her control me,
since that would essentially give me no
choice in the matter at all.
The only choice she would not have is the
choice to live under my roof and have me
support her. That is not forcing her to
do anything. Believe me, there are a lot
of girls who would choose to keep the baby
and move out rather than give it up or
abort. At the very most I would help her
with whatever I could financially, but she
would not live with me or have me as a
round the clock babysitter or expect me to
support her decision.
I work with people whose kids have had
babies in the last few months and live at
home with them and they are utterly
miserable. When they do come into work,
they are exhausted and haggard looking and
cannot focus or do anything right. They
can never look forward to retirement
because all of their money is going toward
taking care of their grandchildren and
they never get to go have time for
themselves because their kids are
constantly dumping their babies on them so
they can go clubbing or hang out at the
mall with their friends.
This is why people are so immature and
responsible. Why should a girl who acted
irresponsibly be given the best of both
worlds? Too many girls have fun with
their babies when it's convenient for them
and then dump them off on their parents
when times get tough so they can go have
fun and party it up. Maybe if they
didn't have those options they would act
more like parents and not treat their
babies like play dolls.
If your major hang-up in life is that
someone out there may not be letting their
daughter live with them if she becomes
pregnant and chooses to keep the baby,
then I envy you, because you must have a
lot of free time on your hands and not
much else to worry about. Or maybe I
don't envy you, because if that's all you
have to worry about, you probably have no
life.

This has nothing to do with being pro
choice. I could just as easily have said
I was pro-life, but that I still would
give my daughter the same three options.
For what it's worth to you narrowminded
people, if I was pro-life, I wouldn't
force my daughter into giving birth to the
baby, either. If she wanted to abort I
would not try to stop her even though, if
I was pro-life, I would not agree with
abortion. Either way, she would not be

Being pro-life does not mean
pro-being-walked-on or
pro-having-to-support-your-grandchildren.
It simply means that you prefer adoption
or birth over abortion. It does not mean
you have to support your daughter and her
baby. It's your hang up if you can't
make that distinction.

No life hmmmm and you have I suppose

yep makes perfect sense to me.
So if you would support her financialy
what is wrong with letting her live with
you but refusing to be babysitter she can
still look after her child herself you do
not have to babysit so why throw her out?

her siblings for me ] nor does it mean she

up to do the feeds in the night , she
would be the one who feeds, changes and
looks after her child.I would be there for
her if she needed advice or help, now you
mention financiall help rather than just
kicking them out, which in my opinion [
which I in no way claim to be law or fact
it is just my opinion ] is wrong and is
making her choices very limited, I would
not expect an adult to have to search for
somewhere to live/ work whilst pregnant or
nursing, let alone a teenage child.If you
were to support her, support does not mean
doing everything for her then so be it but
you never mentioned support of any kind
just kicking her out.

i know what pro-life means. Just because
you're pro life doesn't mean you'll
automatically let your kid and their baby
live with you.
I think you're the one who is a little
mixed up on what pro-life is. Case in
point: a coworker of mine is very
pro-life, but she's also very
pro-responsibility, as in, don't get
pregnant unless you can support your kid
on your own. When her daughter ended up
pregnant, she gave her the exact same
three choices.
If I had never said I was pro-choice, and
I said I was pro-life, and that I would
still give my child the exact same three
choices, you would still be b*tching at
me. That's because it's not a pro-choice
vs. Pro-life issue. It's a "oh my god
how can you be so cruel not to let your
daughter and her baby live with you"
issue. It has nothing to do with
pro-life or pro-choice.
And if you think that kids who live with
their parents and have kids don't take
advantage of their parents, you need a
wake-up call. I see it happen all the
time.

someone who is old enough to have a
sixteen year old is calling people
muppets? Wow.
Anyway look, good for you, but if your
teenage daughter did end up pregnant, I
would have to wonder how decent of a
parent you really were anyway. Yes,
accidents happen, but good parenting,
open, honest communication, and facing
reality (i.E. Your teenager is probably
going to want to have sex whether you tell
her to or not, so at least make sure she
knows how to protect herself and prevent
unwanted pregnancies, and be someone who
she can go to if she needs contraceptives)
keep kids from ending up pregnant.
Teenage pregnancies don't happen just
because it's an unavoidable occurance.
They happen because teenagers have sex
when they're afraid to go to their parents
for contraceptives because they know their
parents will try to stop them and they
know nothing about sex-ed.
we often think of pro life being an
abortion/euthinasia related reveloution
and for the large part it is, but as
people who love and cherish life we also
have other responsibilities, so here are a
few issues that I believe we must tackel
as part and parcel of our pro life
message.
1. Nature - looking after it, respecting
it and working towards an end to global
warming, there can be no life without the
planet.
2. Poverty - both domestic and
international, poverty is a big cause of
illness and death around the world as
people with a pro life message we must try
to help those on our door step, homeless,
unemployed etc and those in other
countries.
3. War - we must constantly promote
action that is infavour of peacefull
solutions, war is contary to the respect
of human life, there are never any winners
in war, only loosers, those who have lost
their life and their families.
4. Racisim - racism and other prejudices
are against the dignity of the human
person and leads to hatred and resentment
of both the person who is being presecuted
and the person persicuting. Such
resentment can and continues to lead to
violence and sometimes killings.
5. Animal cruilty - the respect and
dignity we give our animals is a
reflection on how much we respect life and
nature as a whole, animals should be cared
for and given the best life possible until
such a time as they are needed for food or
until they die.
If you can think of any more issues that
the pro life reveloution incorperates into
itself as part of preservation of life or
as part of the dignity of the human person
please share it with us.
Highlighting just what beig pro life
entails will give each of us a better
understanding of who we are and what angel
we are coming from. Abortion and
euthinasia are of course the major
problems and direct attack on both
preservation of life and diginity of the
human person, but bringing other issues
into the frame also gives us and others an
understanding what being pro life is
back to top
this is what pro life is not just abortion
although that has to be one of the most
inhumane saddistic procedures I have ever
come across .
P.S thanks for the post izzy

My 2 cents.. I am pro choice and have had
3 abortions, I had them all when I was 18
and over. I also do not want children.
Okay here's my input.. Do I think a 16
year old has all that it takes to raise a
baby? No, I do not think for one minute
that babies should be having babies. Boy
did I think I was pretty darn smart at 16,
but now as a 24 year old educated female,
I realize how naive I was in a lot of
areas.
Does that naivity mean a 16 year old
should be forced to abort?Not in my
opinion no. I also do not think a parent
is the babysitter, the 16 year old wants a
baby, fine, but she is taking care of it.
I think too many teens have babies only
to pawn them off on their parents, I still
do not think this means that teens should
be forced to abort. Forced to get a darn
job and grow up and pay rent, yes! Teens
can get their ged and get low cost daycare
and take care of their own baby, albiet
they may need their parents house to live
in... But that does'nt mean it has to be
a free ride.
I know I have opinions, and while I will
never have a baby, I can only imagine what
I would do...
I also think that for a 16 year old to
think they are ready to "parent" , they
may very well hav some issues...

that is the difference though isn't it,
you would not support her decision, I am

you blame her if has you stated before, if
she got pregnant it is a case of negligent
parenting, so you are going to kick her
out because of something you did wrong.So
I think you are the one who is narrow
minded not pro
life.
it's a hypothetical situation. My child
wouldn't end up pregnant because I would
be a good enough parent to see to it that
she didn't. So if she did then yes, I
guess it would stand to reason that
somewhere along the line, I screwed up as
a parent.
And that seems to be true in most cases.
Like I said, accidents do happen even
with the best laid plans, but everyone I
work with who has a kid who ended up
pregnant seems to be preoccupied with
everything but their children, whether it
be jewelry, clothes, cars, boyfriends,
money... So in that respect, they reap
what they sow. Their kid didn't pop up
pregnant because they did everything they
could to prevent it, their kid popped up
pregnant because they ignored their kid
and they were a bad parent.
Then you have those kids who, for whatever
reason, are awful brats despite however
much their parents love them and do for
them and try to help them, and will use
their parents every chance they get.
So in a way you're right - this is a silly
argument because no kid of mine (even
though I don't have any and never will)
would end up pregnant, because i'm
realistic enough to understand that
teenagers need honesty, not lies, and they
need to be able to come to their parents
and ask for help getting contraceptives or
making decisions about sex. They need
good, informative, factful educations, not
people trying to make sex out to be some
boogeyman. Were I a parent my child
would know they could come to me about sex
and ask me for help with contraceptives
and sexual behavior. And I am of the
firm opinion that when a child is raised
in a household with loving parents who
spend time with their kids and actually
give a hoot about what happens to them,
the kids won't be choosing to have sex as
teenagers in the first place. All the
kids I knew in high school who started
having sex at 13, 14, 15 were allowed to
run wild and do whatever they wanted and
their parents didn't care.

first of all I do have a life and a very
fullfilling one thanks for asking.I do
have a sixteen year old daughter and if
she came home pregnant then I would
support her, that does not mean I would be
a round the clock babysitter for her [
though she has done plenty of babysitting
her siblings for me ] nor does it mean she
would have an easy time of it, though she
has more sense than to get caught through
recklessness, she would be the one getting
up to do the feeds in the night , she
would be the one who feeds, changes and
looks after her child.I would be there for
her if she needed advice or help, now you
mention financiall help rather than just
kicking them out, which in my opinion [
which I in no way claim to be law or fact
it is just my opinion ] is wrong and is
making her choices very limited, I would
not expect an adult to have to search for
somewhere to live/ work whilst pregnant or
nursing, let alone a teenage child.If you
were to support her, support does not mean
doing everything for her then so be it but
you never mentioned support of any kind
just kicking her
out.
someone who is old enough to have a
sixteen year old is calling people
muppets? Wow.
Anyway look, good for you, but if your
teenage daughter did end up pregnant, I
would have to wonder how decent of a
parent you really were anyway. Yes,
accidents happen, but good parenting,
open, honest communication, and facing
reality (i.E. Your teenager is probably
going to want to have sex whether you tell
her to or not, so at least make sure she
knows how to protect herself and prevent
unwanted pregnancies, and be someone who
she can go to if she needs contraceptives)
keep kids from ending up pregnant.
Teenage pregnancies don't happen just
because it's an unavoidable occurance.
They happen because teenagers have sex
when they're afraid to go to their parents
for contraceptives because they know their
parents will try to stop them and they
know nothing about
sex-ed.
so has a parent I can stop her
contraception from failing can I , I can
stop her boyfriends condom from breaking
can I , wow I never knew I had that
power.My daughter came to us when she was
fifteen and asked to go on the pill, our
answer was go the doctors, in the
civilised world girls do not need to ask
for contraception off their parents, we
are not doctors nor are we pharmacists,
they can go to the doctors of their own
accord and we will not be informed of the
matter.My daughter knows all about sex ed
and also is double sure as she is on the
pill and also makes sure that he has a
condom.That is being responsible she does
not want a baby yet.I have taught her all
about sex and how to protect herself.She
has learnt well and still if all those
contraceptives failed and she did get
pregnant, why should I not support her,
she has done everything possible to avoid
it and if she decides she cannot abort
then I would support that choice.
