what's your opinion on this ? abortion

Question

I'm 17 & Im having a pregnancy scare. My mom found out & told me if I am pregnant she's making me have an abortion. I dont think it's fair that she can chose to kill my baby. Don't I have a say so? I know I'm still considered as a child but I think that's outrageous! No I'm not financially stable, no I'm not ready for a child but that doesn't give her the right to do that! I get so pissed off everytime she say that! She has 4 kids, would've been 7 of us if she didn't kill the rest! Like wtf. She can do whatever she want to her babies & her body. BUT THATS NOT WHAT I WOULD WANT TO DO!! Would the doctors even listen to me since she isn't?!

Answer

She can't "force" you to have an abortion underage or not. If you go to the doctors for this pregnancy IF you are, they will listen to you. Not her. They consider pregnant women as a WOMAN even if they're underage. You have the say-so in what happens to your baby and your body, not her.

Answer

You're 17, go get a job, find someone who will let you stay with them for a short time, file for a low income apartment and tell them you're homeless, you can legally be emancipated at 17, and you don't have to put up with that. Your mother should not force you to have an abortion, and if she tries to, tell the abortion clinic that you do not want it and you are being forced by her. Then they can't do it, underage or not. Also talk to department of human services. But I know many girls who got pregnant young and are great mothers. They got their lives together before the baby was born and had apartments too. So don't let someone tell you just cuz you're young you can't. And I do agree that a baby is a baby from conception. It is a tiny human no matter what, and I feel sorry for people who can't realize that. Though I understand why some people will get an abortion, doing it because they believe it's not a person is the wrong reason. Why does your mother want to force you to have an abortion anyway? Does she wish she had aborted you? Probably not. So why does she want you to do it

Answer

If you don't want to abort, don't! Wait until you have the baby and see if you're ready and can handle the situation, if not, then maybe give up for adoption

Answer

I get your point but there's a discussion on that topic, in my opinion, if the baby isn't conscious of things or it's body have grown to be completed it isn't a human being at all and i would abort him/her.
But have something in mind, while the baby can't think and have no senses at all, it's better for him that you should be financially stable and complete your college, then you would be ready to have a baby.

Answer

The doctors would listen to you, you can't be forced into it but I think your mum wants what is best for you  as you are so young. How will you support a baby by yourself? It's not your mums responsibility to care for your child financially. Babies are very VERY expensive things and they aren't an accessory, it would be completely life changing.

Answer

Not from a religious stand point, but I think you should have the baby and either keep it or put it up for adoption. There are always regrets with abortions and it is something very hard to love with. Your mother cannot force you to have an abortion! That's not okay, or even legal (that I know of). Best of luck to you, with whatever decision you make!

Answer

Yes, you have a say. It's your body, not hers. She CANNOT force you to do anything you don't want.

Answer

I got pregnant with my baby boy at 17. No I was not financially stable. No I didn't have my own place. No I wasn't ready to be a mom. But at that point I knew I couldn't abort a baby. And now I have everything I need for my son I am a single mom I work I go to school and pay all my bills and still have time for my baby and nothing could make me more proud then being a mom❤️ so keep in mind if you want a baby or don't think about all your options cause you may regret it and it's non of your moms business

Answer

Your mom can't force you to do anything you don't want to do. You want to keep the baby? Keep it. Get a job, support yourself. If you don't, there's always adoption. There are plenty of families who've been waiting and trying for a baby for years and would be forever thankful to have one and care for one. Abortion is scary, yes. A lot of people frown upon it, but at the end of the day it is YOUR decision. Not your moms, not anyone else's.

Answer

Consider this- what if she kicked you out? 
It's your body but, 
You're going to have to get a job and provide for yourself if they don't approve.
