When I was a pregnant 17 year old girl – not woman, a girl – I heard everything; mostly abortion. My body was mature enough to get pregnant but my mind was still very young and immature just like all teenage girls. I did not have the scruples nor the correct information to make a mature decision that would affect the rest of my life. I came across this Facebook conversation – it’s pretty close to what I heard from my ‘friends’ over 33 years ago.
I decided not to show the names of the ‘friends’ – the new mom will be known as Kate. But what I’m trying to show you is how immature the mom-to-be and her friends are. They are old enough to vote, buy cigarettes, driver a 4000 pound vehicle and fight for our country – but not grown-up enough to know that abortion is a life and death decision. I left everything exactly as it was written, spelling and all:
Post: “I’m having second thoughts…abortion is probably the best choice for us.”
Friend 1: Whatt
Friend 2: ): Adoption is always an option, even if it’s hard
Friend 3: You know my thought!
Friend 4: Don’t do that! Adoption is ALWAYS the best choice if you can’t keep the baby. People out there can’t have kids and they would be so thankful if they could have your gift.
Friend 5: (guy) Whatttt
Friend 6: Kate. My baby daddy’s mom wanted me to get an abortion. I wouldnt do it. That babyy will bring youu so much happiness its amazingg. My daughter brightens even my worst days. It’s yourr choice & i’ll never look at yoou no different but think about it & make sure thats what yu want before yu do itt !
Friend 4: And also, I know some friends who got abortions, and they said it’s the worst thing to ever go through. It’s all you’ll think about, you won’t be able to forgive yourself. Don’t do it girl. I don’t know your situation, but if you can’t keep the baby, put them up for adoption. ♥
Kate: Thanks guys
I just had a reality check and then thoughts like…what if it had something wrong with em… It’s better this way than for it to come out retarded
Friend 6: Yeaa ^^ & an abortion is like labor. They have to make yur cervixx dialate so that they can suck the baby out.
Friend 7: (guy) yeah, dont let everybody sway you. if you’re not ready, you’re not ready. there’s nothing wrong with that. If it wasnt meant to be, then it’s not meant to happen, at least not now anyways. just a different opinion .
Friend 6: & kate i was getttin fucked upp before i found out i was pregnant. Like fried fucked upp. & kenzie is fine.
Friend 8: This is your option, don’t let other people influence your choice based on there beliefs. This is entire up to you. It’s not wrong, it’s an option for a reason.
Friend 9: girl, if your not ready to be a mother you shouldn’t have had sex & im not meaning to sound like an ass. I found out I was preg a few weeks ago & yes I was & still am VERY scared, but abortion is not the answer. I agree about the adoption. abortion is horrible sweety. but either way youll make your own choice, just thought I’d put in my word. wish you the best! & if there is anything you need to talk about, I’m here.
Friend 10: i say abortion you dont know how hard its gna b to have a kid n u wanna have fun n chill with ur friends n spend alll ur earnings towards a kid dont have it if u wanna have to take another life, im just say abortion isnt wrong when ur not ready to b a mother. but its up to u Kate i support whtever u do. (:
Friend 11: Kate. I kno i havnt tlkd ta ya in a while but i had a abortion once before and to this day i still cant forgive myself. I say adoption would b ur best choice if your not ready for a baby. If u need to talk call r text me bbygirl im here for yu
Kate: Idk Im just stupid for getting pregnant in the first place.. We’ve been together 2 months and bam..knocked up..hah
Friend 8: Lol, LIKE A MOVIE
Friend 9: hey everything happens for a reason. there is so much help you can get. im taking everything I can get. my best friend had a baby at 17 & struggled but is so glad she had him.
Friend 12: probably the best choice if uve only been together two months.. its very hard to be a mother. u give up urself for another. no more parties. no more games its the real deal. if ur gona do it u better do it soon.. cuz the heart is alrdy beating and growing
The immaturity of our young people is getting worse and worse. They talk and write in some kind of text language and they wear flip flops in the winter. Precious little is respected much less the life another.
The law was never about single career minded women that find themselves in an unexpected pregnancy, which is what they led all of us to think…the law is leveled directly at ignorant teenagers and preteens. Parents are doing nothing in teaching their children about having respect for life altering decisions or for that matter, having respect for their own life which they do not. The bulk of abortions occur to women/girls 25 year old and under.
