ok, im kinda butting in on your guys' debate, but oh well!
ok, lets put genetics aside for a second here.
Now i will use myself as an example...I get raped...i would have an abortion...or take the morning after pill (not sure if you consider that an abortion...)..whatever it takes NOT to have the baby.
I am frickin NINETEEN years old. I am a sophomore in college, i have dreams and ambitions. A baby would ruin that, plain and simple. Not that i dont want to have children later on, but no now....that is why i use BCPs...cause i dont wanna get pregnant!! I dont feel like carrying a baby around for 9 months either, and then having to adopt it out...once again, kinda ruins my plans...
I do NOT think it is fair to force an INNOCENT girl to have that responsobility of carrying around a child. So you say it can just get adopted...
ok, so what if that girl lives a very active social life...smokes, drinks...umm HELLO...ever heard of fetal alcohol syndrome??? Carrying a baby is a LOT of responsibility. its not like a chicken that can just sit on an egg...
You whole lifestyle must change, you have to eat properly, and really work hard to make sure your baby is healthy.
Dont you think it is enough that some poor girl got RAPED?? Now you want her to have to think about it, every single day for NINE months...complete alter her lifestyle just cause some sick f*ck wanted to get off???
this is not about genetics...this is about the girl's life too. As far as i know, during pregnancy, if only the mom or baby can live...they usually kill the baby...what do you think of that?? Why do you think that is? Course that is a different matter, and an extremely sad one...but umm, if it were me...i would want to live...and i am sure my husband (well, when i have one)would rather have me live than the baby...
yah, and i only read the last two pages that were about genetics...so i was assuming some people were using genetics as reasoning to have abortions...i dont really agree with that... but i am VERY pro-choice
